    MacBook Air the way it should've been!

    I have bought a lot of MacBooks over last year and have returned and swapped out a few of them. I usually buy the base models and wanted the Macbook Air to be perfect but with 8GB of RAM, it's slow and constantly hanging with the rainbow spinning wheel. I didn't realize it was the low ram that was causing it and ended up purchasing the base MacBook Pro instead. I purchased this one a couple days ago and is exactly what I wanted now I have the speed of the base MacBook Pro, but in the lighter thinner form the SSD is a little small but I have external hard drives if I really need more space but for $1299, this one is the one to get in my opinion unless you are a big-time gamer or doing some serious photo and video editing. Thank you Apple for finally giving us a base MacBook with 16 GB of RAM because that is the sweet spot.

    I have always used Macbook and that will probably never change for me. I love my new M3 Macbook Air, however I don’t like that while I am using browsers like Google Chrome, it closes the browser. It takes multiple clicks and gets extremely frustrating as it is an every day occurrence. Other than that issue, I think this is an amazing computer. It always me to seamlessly transfer documents, fill out PDF’s using preview, fast processing and just overall an easy laptop to use when working or in college.

The MacBook itself is a powerhouse, delivering unmatched performance, a stunning Retina display, and a sleek design. It’s been a game-changer for my work and personal projects. What stood out the most was Best Buy’s excellent customer service, quick delivery, and secure packaging. I also appreciated the competitive pricing and financing options, which made this premium device more accessible. Thank you, Best Buy, for making this such a smooth and satisfying purchase.

    I’ve previously had a MacBook Air (since 2016, it still works perfectly) then I tried to go the cheaper route and get a Samsung. Biggest mistake, EVER. I returned it and bought this MacBook as a replacement. It’s PERFECT and BEAUTIFUL. The battery life is so good and the screen quality is amazing. Apple is truly a luxury tech brand.

    I've had this amazing MacBook Air M3 since December of 2024. It never ceases to amaze me. My MacBook never freezes, crashes, and glitches like previous experiences with windows. THE SCREEN IS BEAUTIFUL! The image/video quality is so luxurious. If you've never had a MacBook before this (like me) you'll be blown away by the speakers! I enjoy using this MacBook to play Roblox, media consumption, reading, make music, and watch movies!It is perfect for those! Another thing that's nice is the aluminum finish. It's just so much better than a laptop made with a plastic shell!! I charge once a day when I've been using very frequently. I highly recommend!

I also love the starlight finish—it’s elegant and stands out without being flashy. Battery life is excellent too; I can go a full day without needing to recharge. Overall, this MacBook has been a smart and reliable investment.

    I’m an Apple product user. I know the access of my documents, photos and apps make my life and work more efficient. I chose the MacBook 15” because I recently began working remotely. My work requires multiple tabs open at one time. This MacBook allows me to work without the waiting of the system to catch up. It’s fast and dependable. I expected nothing less from Apple.

    Purchased my laptop a few months ago now for school work and some other real estate work and I have no complaints. It has run smooth and processing is fast. I've only ever had Apple and I continue to learn more and more about the tricks and shortcuts these laptops have. 15inch is very nice and clear. I prefer larger screen, more room for my shenanigans lol love it! I bought an SSD on the side for more memory storage due to my amount of work needing to be saved but you won't need one if you get the 500gb memory . Added a screen protector and a case for more protection.
