I never thought I would buy a Macbook but let me tell you, it is the best laptop I've ever had. What I love about it is that it's light/thin, can hold a charge for many days and it's just the most beautiful laptop. You do not have to shut the laptop down ever! It boots up in 2 seconds... this is just so much better than anything else. Highly recommend.

I absolutely love my new MacBook Air 2023. What a difference from a Windows computer! Very fast, extremely vibrant color and I have my Apple apps on it like news, music, etc. It does not take long to charge and lasts a long time in between charges. The battery seems to last as advertised for approximately 18 hours. The storage on it is more than enough to handle my business documents. This laptop is the best one I have ever owned. You will be making a very good investment with this MacBook Air 2023.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best possible laptop for the money
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2024
Verified Purchase
I do like Apple laptops, but I'm going to keep this review very unbiased. I also bought a PC gaming laptop around this same time, so I can also compare the two! This laptop costs a little more than most comparable PCs.
The build quality is spectacular. It's like a thin, smooth, block of aluminum. Light and rigid. It opens beautifully and let's move onto the important parts:
An entry-level macbook air might not help you much with 'gaming' or extremely compute-intensive activities (might need the Macbook Pro)... but this baby has it where it counts! BATTERY LIFE! I did regular web-browsing and emailing heavily for almost 6 hours straight....and the battery dropped from 100% to 98%. No joke. Apple has some serious technological advantage here...compare it to your current laptop and it'll beat it. I promise.
THE SCREEN! The quality, contrast, colors, and resolution of this macbook air screen beats every PC computer I've ever owned. It's just beautiful.
THE SOUND. I bought a low-end gaming laptop that advertises amazing Dolby DTS sound etc.....it's garbage compared to this macbook pro. This thing is so thin and pretty, I honestly can't even find the speakers on it-- but the sound is bigger and richer than anything I've had. I don't understand how Apple does it, but it's worth every penny.
This review has gone on longer than I expected....let me just say this thing is fast, pretty, and has the best features that really MATTER for a daily laptop. Gaming/extra power isn't what this is for, but it's perfect for absolutely all daily usage! Cheers

5.0 out of 5 stars I mean, it's a 15inch MacBook Air - the perfect compromise between weight, power, and screen size.
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2023
Style: EnglishSize: 512GB SSDColour Name: MidnightVerified Purchase
This computer is pretty much perfect. It's light, it's sleek. Its fast. It's actually made me enjoy using a computer again.

I got the midnight color and honestly, fingerprints aren't any worse with this color vs any other color. Yes, they are present, but a quick wipe erases them. And then you've got the best looking computer in the coffee shop. Looking at you, you young professional at the coffee shop. Looking so cool.

If you've read any reviews on these computers you'll hear all of them conclude with this: If you're like 90% of people and use their computer for normal things like checking email, writing, using regular apps, basic movie / music editing. Then this is the best computer for you. Why look anywhere else? The screen is huge. The laptop is light. It looks legit. The keyboard is great. The speakers are reasonable. The FaceTime camera is great.

If you're life is editing movies then you probably already know that this M2 processor will do the job for you, but it'll come at a cost. The MacBook Air m2 processor is meant for efficiency, but it's not going to export as fast as a pro m2. In saying that..this processor is so much faster than anything in the past 5 years that even if you're used to having a pro computer, and its a few years old, you'll still find yourself with a very capable machine.

I was between this and an iPadPro. I went with this because until apple gets its act together an iPad is still an iPad. Anybody who tells you they use it for their daily driver has done a lot work to learn how to navigate the iPad OS to make it work like a MacBook. If you want something cool to look at pictures, browse the internet, do some writing, maybe some call of duty mobile - then get an iPad. If you want a computer. Get a MacBook Air. If you're a heavy gamer, or do a ton of video editing (like your whole workflow) Then get a MacBook Pro 14 air 16 inch. They are incredible, but not something most people will need. For what it's worth, I do video editing with this M2 machine and for me it works great. I don't mind waiting an extra 10min on an hour long project to export. The experience while I edit is still super smooth, I just need to wait a bit once I'm done to view my finished product.

To conclude. If you're 90% of the world. Just get the MacBook Air. If you can - get the 512gb hard drive. They're faster than their 256gb base counterpart. However, if you're upgrading both your hard driver AND the ram. I think I would just go for a 14inch MacBook Pro. The price difference isn't too much and that 120hz refresh rate on the 14inch pros is noice. But, coming from somebody who notices that sort of stuff, you won't miss the refresh rate on the air. Like you would between an iPad Air vs iPad Pro.

Ask questions! I've got answers!

I bought this laptop for my dad as a gift, who had a severely out of date MacBook. He loves this new laptop and is constantly using it for research (rebuilding a 1953 Chevy truck) or playing games. It is fast and easy for him to use, and he appreciates the large and bright display, the long battery life, and the silent and fanless design. The M2 chip delivers amazing performance and graphics, and the Touch ID makes it convenient and secure to log in. The laptop is also very thin and light, and the MagSafe charging is a nice touch. He also likes that he can sync his iPhone and iPad with the laptop, and use features like AirDrop and Continuity. This is a great laptop for anyone who wants a powerful and portable machine that works well with Apple devices.
