Bought this 1 1/2 months ago. So happy. I picked the midnight blue. It looks so slick and classy and feels smooth. It’s a new one for me after almost 7 years of an Apple air, this one has the easy use touch button. Fast speed. Although I haven’t use it much, I’m just happy I bought it. Best Buy also did price matching quickly and easily. Very pleased.

Possibly the best purchase of my life! My Mac laptop was 12+yo and wouldn’t update past ios10.something, so I couldn’t use any of the latest productivity or photo editing programs I wanted access to. I went straight to OpenBox and found her, (Excellent, with original packaging), and let me say—this girl is sleek and beautiful—and POWERFUL and FAST. My mind has been reeling, seriously. I have already mastered a few things but still lots of new possibilities to explore. She’s thinner and lighter than I even imagined and if I have several things in my arms, it’s easy to forget I’m carrying her, so be mindful. The pictures are no exaggeration as to how thin she is (in the picture I’m attaching, she has a protective case!). And the screen? Good grief . . .LED with 2560 × 1664 resolution is simply life-altering if you’ve been working with a dinosaur!! My background and my screensaver are all my personal photography and the screen just brings them to life for me, which thrills me to no end! I genuinely couldn’t be happier with this laptop.

Wow. What a crazy device. I never thought I would own a MacBook because I love Windows, but man this thing is a beast. It has no issues running what I want to run. I even tested out a Windows 11 VM on it just for giggles. The MacBook handled it like a pro! Or should I say, like an air! I’m stupid… Anyway, I’m satisfied with this MacBook!

My experience while purchasing this incredible product was nothing short of amazing and one of the best retail experiences I have ever had! The sales team was excellent in their knowledgeability and proficiency in assisting me through the entire process. Each member went above and beyond the average requirements of retail, to completely satisfy my needs as a customer! As well I have been extremely pleased with the product since the completion of purchase... It is as close to a "dream come true" as I have ever seen.

My new computer is fun and it’s a great size. I was worried about getting an air compared to the pro but I like it so much. I like the new features compared to my 2016 pro I can see my phone on the screen

My Sony Bravia Oled Google TV is the best I’ve experienced to date. Its unique features are very easily accessible and understood. No complications for me whatsoever. I’m proud to say it’s one of my best choices ☺️

I upgraded from a Macbook Air M2 with 8GB to this 24GB M3 version and it made a huge speed difference for everything from Web browsing to image editing. It's sleek and light but is a powerful performer. The screen is incredible and sharp and it's the first Macbook Air to support 2 external monitors with the lid closed. I only wish it supported 2 external monitors without closing the lid, like my MacBook Pro. That would move my rating from 4.9 to a solid 5.0.

Had a 10-year told MacBook pro that was showing age. Decided to go with this model as it had similar specs with storage size, and even more RAM. Extremely happy with this computer. It is accomplishing every reason why we needed a new one. Faster, better screen, can handle multi-tasking and battery life has been amazing so far. Super happy with our choice.

Battery life has been outstanding, lasting for longer than expected. Runs smooth, quiet, and has not gotten too warm when on my lap. Good choice overall. I wish there was an option for 24 GB ram and 1TB storage for the M3 air though.

I had a 7 year old MacBook Pro and it was showing its age for sure. I purchase this MacBook Air in Starlight on sale and it is a fabulous upgrade from my older MacBook Pro. The keyboard looks the same but feels better and types quieter. This machine is so much faster and I am really enjoying it. It's super light and portable and meets all of my needs. I'm glad I made the investment.
My old MacBook Pro would no longer backup wirelessly so I backed up to an external hard drive and used that to set up the new machine and it worked flawlessly.
Very pleased with this purchase.

Great laptop that does exactly what you need it to do, whether it be creation, school, or regular browsing it does the job perfectly. Battery life is all dayS (literally lasting 2-3 days and I use this laptop very frequently) and is overall a great laptop with a wonderful 24 gigs of ram for all your needs.

Great improvement over i5 version ! We bought the 24G / 520G models and they zip through Photoshop, Lightroom, and Topaz AI with the M3 chip. Keys seem different to the touch somehow and the larger touch pad is very welcomed. The Air version is sturdy and lighter compared to the heavier Pro version. All together, an excellent upgrade to earlier versions.

Bought a 13 inch MacBook Air with M3 chip, 24GB RAM, and 512 SSD over the Black Friday weekend. It is a great laptop and I am extremely happy with the purchase. It is little costly without a sale. But is it really worth it. It runs quiet and very fast, light weight too.
I definitely recommend this to anyone who can afford it.

Plug & play capability with step-by-step basic setup (that pops up when you open your new laptop). This laptop is very quick and easy to use, providing all the computing ability that the average user needs. Excellent value for the money.
