5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Laptop with Speedy Delivery and High Portability
Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2024
Hey friends! This laptop is amazing, clean, and efficient. Currently, I am a Neuroscience major and just switched over from a 6 year old Intel MacBook (which was and is still amazing, but old). If you're thinking about buying this product, from a college student's perspective, it is amazing as it can handle many large programs that professors often require you to work on. Not to mention the Starlight color is beautiful.

A piece of advice: Order the MacBook from here instead of Apple directly, because it's cheaper and will have faster delivery. Also this laptop is the same as the M2, so think about that when purchasing (I didn't buy it because I couldn't find one in stock)

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2024
The MacBook Air is an excellent choice for students who are pursuing their education, as it offers exceptional speed, top-notch quality, vibrant display, and a lightweight design. Opting to purchase it from Amazon presents a wonderful opportunity to take advantage of enticing discounts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely the best laptop
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2024
Great laptop. Super Fast. Long lived battery. Very thin. Very light. Exquisite display. Typically easy to use Mac OS. Just about Everything works as it should. Great quality. Exquisite engineering.

Most profound recommendation

Negatives:
USB-C ports too close together. If use an adapter, ports are too close for most adapters to use two simultaneously.
Downloading huge files causes cache to get clogged. Cleaning cache is time consuming.
Expensive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely brilliant machine. Best laptop I have ever owned, by far.
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2024
I had a 13" M2 with 8 GB of memory and the slightly better processor. That was a great machine for general purpose stuff, but I do a lot of development, so I wanted something with a bit more oomph.

This laptop is amazing. Super fast (was immediately ~30% faster at a set of python tests), and I really appreciate the larger screen and improved speakers. The screen feels much, much bigger than the 13". That said, the 15" definitely *feels* more like a laptop. The 13" is small enough that it feels almost feels like a larger tablet device. The 15", while only a half-pound heavier, really does start to feel more like a laptop because of the increased size.

They're both brilliant machines, and all in all, I think I still prefer the 15". But I'd opt for the 13" if I traveled a lot with the laptop or I was going to be taking it too/from work or school. I'd go with the 15" if travel was a bit less frequent. If you're looking for a machine for light work (office tasks, browsing, watching video, light programming), the 8 GB version is probably fine. For anything else, I'd go 16 GB. 24 GB is probably pointless unless you're a massive power user (think: multiple VMs, serious programming development with big models, editing very large video, etc.), and at that point you should probably be looking at macbook pros.

This laptop is slim, ultra fast, great resolution, and with pleasing appearance. Makes my PC laptop look like a horse and buggy compared to a C8 Corvette. Great battery life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent laptop
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2024
This is my second MacBook and I am almost completely converted to Apple products. iPhone 6 was my first iPhone, will never use anything else. Not another dollar of mine will ever be wasted on a PC laptop, Apple and its OS are much smoother and almost seamless when it comes to moving between my phone and laptop and iPad. I hate Apples politics but love their products. Free market baby!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars First Macbook
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2024
Windows user here. Got tired of 1 to 2 hours of battery life on windows. Jumping into macOS with both feet. After 8 hours of setup and messing around, I have used 53 percent of my battery. Display is nice. Base 8gb and 256gb drive will meet my needs with a little cloud storage in my future. So far quite impressed. Computer is fast and I suspect it still will be once I know what I am doing in macOS. Bit of a learning curve ahead, but for average user like me ( some office apps and the rest consumption oriented) I think this is going to be perfect. Got Starlight because it was discounted. Nice color, gender neutral. Very happy with this purchase so far. Best personal computer I have ever owned. Makes my previous windows laptops look sad. Would buy again. 15 inch M3 Base model.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great laptop but I have a couple things
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2024
First, I haven't used the camera yet. I already have a 13 inch 2020 MacBook Air M1. The 13 inch is faster, has comparable viewing and just seems to fit my needs. I'm not a power user. Just the basics. I wanted to try a 15 inch and am satisfied, but if I ever need to buy another laptop, it will be 13 inch. I'm done with desktops.
