5.0 out of 5 stars Great Laptop!
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2024
I’m really enjoying using this laptop. It’s very lightweight and the screen and keyboard are both excellent. Coming from a Windows PC, there was a learning curve, but I contacted Apple Support with some questions and their help was very good! I highly recommend this MacBook Air!

5.0 out of 5 stars First impression on Starlight.
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2022
I had windows before and now I have a Mac. This is a great purchase. The laptop made a big impression on me.
The delivery: I was supposed to sign for it upon delivery and I never did. It was dropped off on my front doorstep. She caught me doing something with my hands full and wet, and I assume she had to be going to her next delivery to stay on schedule. Back to the Mac review.
The M2 Air: What can I tell you? This thing is really small. Upon taking it out of its packaging, I held it in my hands and it felt like I was holding a composition notebook, but a tad bit lighter. It does not feel like holding an envelope like it was revealed back in the first Mac Air laptop. It was like holding a windows surface laptop, except lighter. The laptop turned on on its own and I set up everything in less than half an hour. I may miss right clicking with my old windows laptop, but holding down the scrolling pad is way easier on this thing. I learned the basics, the advanced internet tips and tricks, and the essentials in less than ten minutes. I picked up on everything in less than an hour. It took me longer to choose a password than anything else. Lol. But, it was simple. It runs really smooth and I hear nothing. It’s so silent, I tapped on the mute button and it does not give out one sound from the internal system. It’s easily the best laptop out right now.
The one con I have: There are none aside from the fact that the typing on the keyboard
is about the only noise you’ll pick up. Yes, the keyboard fret buttons sound plastic and rub on them and it sounds like an eerie screeching noise. In all retrospect, I’m not about to rub the keyboard. That’s not what it’s for.
Video / Audio: I watched on Apple TV. The sound became better to my ears switching from watching an HD movie to a 4K movie. I watched The Blair Witch Project, the old film from 1999, then I put on the new Blair Witch movie that resolutes a picture of 4K and let me say that the audio on 4K sounds crispier than HD movies. I could hear the footsteps and environmental noises for full immersion. It was like I was in the movie. I watched it at night while everybody’s asleep. That movie scares the crap out of me. The picture was HD. The brightness was low. The sound was past halfway. It looked okay because Blair Witch Project has the female character video recording on an old camera. It looks like it looked the first time I watched The Blair Witch Project back in the year 2000. And I like that.
Multi-tasking / browsing / usage
Some sites like Yahoo take a while to catch up on uploading the page as I scroll further on some articles. I also encountered ads. I’ll have to use an ad-blocker. Battery life. The Mac was on for two hours and it dropped ten percent. All I did was setup and browsing. Then, I charged it by MagSafe charger. It took about less than 15 minutes to charge all the way up to 100% from 50% on first usage.
Life expectancy: The 8gb ram should run well for the next 6 to 8 years. By then you and I or whoever chose this laptop will have upgraded in the next 5 years as technology further improves.
And to size up my last thoughts… Oh yes, I used the box / case it came on as a laptop case to keep it stored at night so it won’t get dusty overnight. Simple as that. Put it back in its box. It’s brand new. You wouldn’t want to have a dirty starlight. Overall, if you have had an Apple device like a smartphone, tablet, or iPod touch back then, you’ll pick up on everything on your first go. Thanks for the read through on my review and to Amazon for this amazing machine. Farewell.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for school
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2023
This computer is great for people in collage or high school. Its light weight allows it to be moved around to many places, which allows me to easily bring it to my friends place to work on projects with them. And if you are doing simple things like scrolling the web or chatting with friends on a service like discord, then the battery life lasts a very long time. But the front facing camera isn't really up-to-par with the modern standards today. So if you plan to use this for zoom, or google meet you may want to consider a webcam if you really care about the camera quality. The screen quality is nice, the colors are vibrant and it can get really bright too. If you have an iPhone there are many useful features that connect the phone with the computer. Airdrop is nice when sending research links from my phone to my computer for school slideshows, it is fast and easy. Also, I can send messages to all of my friends from my Mac, and all of my contacts and notes are synced from my phone to my Mac too. But if you do not have an iPhone, I may consider a different brand because the Mac isnt good with all of the Apple features like iCloud, and it would be a waste of money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing battery life backed up by an amazing hardware experience
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2022
I got the base 256GB 8GB of ram model and this thing does everything I need it to and more. I consider myself fairly tech savvy, so when I heard all the controversy surrounding this model and its slower SSD, I was a little hesitant. After realizing what I wanted to do with the computer, this become a non-factor. I mostly do school (computer science) a little bit of rendering for my 3d printer and some very light gaming. The SSD has never been an issue in my day to day. If you are editing photos or access large files that will need to be read or written to often, maybe go to the 512GB model to get the faster SSD. If you are not working in CAD or video/photo editing all the time you will not care I promise. The rest of this machine has astounded me. 18 hours of battery life is not just marketing, the speed of the M2 is snappy and can handle much more than I thought it would. The new screen is gorgeous. Trackpad is the best on the market bar none. The keyboard is the best keyboard I have ever felt on a laptop and is an absolute joy to type on. MagSafe is back and amazing as before. Probably my favorite thing about this laptop, coming from a Windows gaming laptop is the lack of a fan. You will lose a little performance, but not having that noise is absolutely astounding. Cannot recommend this thing enough. Great job Apple.
