    5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Machine

    Beautiful hardware inside and out. Lightweight and portable but still incredibly smooth and fast. The latest MacOs runs flawlessly on this MacBook.

    It has no issues keeping up with me and jumping between VS code, logic, safari, email, etc. handles anything you throw at it.

    I haven’t tried any video editing, but I did play a bit of Civilization 6 and it runs great.

    Battery life is phenomenal as with all the apple silicon.

    Replaced my 8 year old Macbook Pro with this one. 15” is the perfect size for me. Easy setup. Fairly easy transfer of data, etc. from my old laptop. I got the black one which shows smudges more than my old space gray one, but no biggie. Much faster than my old one, and it’s nice to have good battery life again. Highly recommend.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Love, love, love this machine!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2024
    My previous Macbook was the 13" 2012 Pro 750GB; it lasted 8 1/2 years before breaking down beyond reasonable repair. I was financially challenged to replace with another Apple product, so I went for the more budget friendly pc line. Fast forward to today, I was ready to come back to my true love, and with the Black Friday deals from Amazon ($1419.00), I now have a well-built machine that should be good for another 8+ years. I'm a middle school math teacher, so this product's specs are in the "just right" catagory. Love the ease of use and streamlined user interface. Love the sound this produces. Love the 15" screen real estate which makes for a better multi-tasking experience. And overall, love how this Macbook Air fits into my life!

    After receiving my new Macbook, I ended up investing in the Apple Care+ yearly subscription for peace of mind.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2024
    The glass on my prior MacBook Pro broke. Not worth replacing since the laptop was more than five years old. When I went to purchase a new MacBook Pro, I learned that Apple eliminated the 15" screen on the new MacBook Pros (I think this was dumb). The 13.4" is too small and the 17" is way too big and heavy. The salesperson at a retail store suggested I look at the MacBook Air (Caveat: I do not do any heavy graphics, animation, editing or video/photo work), so the M3 Chip, 16GB, 512GB is more than adequate. I was able to purchase this 15.3" Laptop with 3 years of Apple Care at $300.00 less than the retail store. This is a terrific laptop for everything. I don't do any video or editing, so your needs may be different. But I constantly run Acrobat Pro, Excel, Word, and other programs simultaneously and it is fast. The screen is terrific, it has built-in retina display and the images are super crisp. I watch movies on this laptop and I have no issues with the display. If you are needing a new MacBook and the price of the new MacBook Pros made your eyes water, I highly recommend the MacBook Air.

    I absolutely love my new MacBook! It’s become my go-to device for nearly everything, from work to leisure. The display is stunning, with vibrant colors and sharp details that make watching movies an immersive experience. The sound quality is equally impressive, delivering clear, rich audio without any distortion. Overall, I’m beyond satisfied with my MacBook – it’s sleek, powerful, and perfect for both productivity and entertainment!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice computer
    Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2024
    Let me start by saying I am not Apple's biggest fan - I've always used Dell or HP machines so this one has been a bit of a learning curve for me. With that being said, I am really impressed with this laptop. My daughter and I are the media team at our church where we are responsible for creating announcement videos and presentation slides. The graphics are super clear and the processing speed is amazing. There is no waiting for software to open and having multiple programs open doesn't slow it down. We purchased a monitor and dock with this machine and it has turned out to be a great system.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Best part is the battery life
    Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2024
    I haven't used a Mac since using one of the old Airs in 2013. Since then I've been using a cheaper dell latitude for work and a razr blade for gaming. Now I am going back to school and needed something with better battery life that I couldn't really use for gaming. I can't stop finding excuses to use it because it's so nice, and the battery generally lasts multiple days without a charge which was almost shocking given that my dell and razr die in only 2-4 hours. One star is deducted for a high price as well as a keyboard that is ever so slightly different from windows keyboards and takes some getting used to.
