    Great For Adobe CC + Great Cooling

    I am a photographer who uses lightroom and photoshop. I occassionally use AfterEffects and Premiere Pro. Through all of my experiences, this computer has done a great job at keeping itself cool during all parts of my workflow. So far, the hottest that it has ever gotten, was when I was rendering a video, which was when it got a little warm. Nothing significant. I can see this lasting many years to come. I am a first time Mac user and need to address that the MacOS is a little bit confusing at first, with lots of hidden gestures. There are a lot of features that are annoying, but it is nothing you cannot customize after some youtube viedos. Also, for the sale price that this was listed for, the specs are absolutely incredibly. Great experience all around, knowing what I know now, my choice in purchasing this computer would not change

    MacBook experience

    It was an incredible experience to buy this laptop in Best Buy. The attendant was very helpful, and lovely with me. I don’t speak English very well but she took her time to explain me the payment methods and the configuration of the laptop. As it is my first MacBook, I did not know exactly what I needed and she was the best one helping me on making that decision. I feel that I have the perfect laptop to work on my thesis and graduate on my PhD without having any issues with my computer.

    “Excellent Condition” Mac Book

    Good laptop. Just got it. Bought the used “Excellent Condition” version. I think they sent me the “Good Condition” instead because the screen has a scratch.

    I love this thing to be honest. Small, lite, and powerful enough to do what I need it to do. Having other Apple products it makes overall connectivity really easy. Iam able to wireless connect my iPad Pro making a second screen, both of which are 13”, so that is super useful, and because everything has a small overall footprint it is easy to put away and store without having to have a huge set up. The Apple intelligence is super helpful as well in streamlining smaller tasks leaving more time to focused on bigger projects. The looks of this MacBook Air is closer to the looks of the MacBook pro’s which I like a lot. Wasn't a fan of the thin tapered body of previous MacBook Air models. So far this has been a great buy for my returning to college and Dailey use. Looking forward to using it for some time to come.

    The MacBook Air with the M4 chip is a dream for students. It’s incredibly fast and handles everything from research and writing papers to video calls and creative projects with ease. The 24GB of memory means you can run multiple apps without slowing down, and the 512GB SSD gives you plenty of space for files and media. It’s super light, making it easy to carry between classes, and the battery easily lasts a full day on campus. The Midnight color is sleek and stylish—definitely a head-turner!

    Seamless Upgrade: New Mac user for one Month

    Swapping my trusty Windows i5 laptop for Apple’s latest Air was a leap—one I’m thrilled I took. In day‑to‑day workflows (web research, writing, and Python scripting), the M4 chip breezes through tasks that used to make my old machine stutter. The fanless design is super nice and convenient with silent operation, and even under sustained load—compiling code—I’ve never heard a whirr just a slight warmth and that's it. Battery life routinely sails past 12 hours, so I finish my workday without hunting for an outlet. The Sky Blue finish amazing, and the roomy 24 GB of RAM lets me juggle multiple tabs, Zoom, and compiling a code without swapping to disk. The macOS learning curve was real at first—command‑key shortcuts instead of Control, a different windowing philosophy—but now I can’t imagine going back.

    What you would expect from Apple

    MacBook Air, amazing. It is what it is so most know what to expect. I use it for coding in Unity, music production in logic, video editing with Final Cut, and some light gaming. Works smoothly for all of these. I’m coming from a 14 year old iMac and an 8 year old windows laptop so this upgrade was much needed. I would buy from Best Buy again. Shipped extremely fast. Product came in damaged. Hard to mess up an Apple product. 5/5!

    I upgraded my 8GB Memory M2 Air to this one for the memory reason alone as I was finding that I there wasn't enough RAM to go around. I don't have that issue with this Air because it has 3x the RAM. Plus I didn't think I would notice that much with the new processor, but I was wrong. For this being an Air model, it's quite a powerful machine. Very very very happy with this purchase. 0% buyers remorse on this purchase.

    MacBook Air 2025

    Works just as expected the speed is very great and a lot faster and more responsive than my previous Mac (2021 MacBook Pro). I think it suffices perfectly and there is no need to upgrade to the pro unless you have very specific reasons for doing so. The Air is excellent and does just fine for me. I mean think about it, it has the same GPU, Storage and Chip as the pro. PERFECT choice for a personal laptop for work, home, or school.

    I've always been a fan of Apple. I just recently got into Photography and needed a better laptop. I traded in my most recent purchased Macbook Air for a newer version. There were a few hiccups in the trade in process but the people who helped me at my local Best Buy gave me a great experience. I will most certainly be back again in the near future.

    Smooth Transition from Windows to macOS

    I had a great buying experience with Best Buy. They honored a price match and offered me a very competitive deal, which I truly appreciated. Now, speaking about the device itself—coming from nearly 8 years of using Windows, I’m genuinely impressed by the speed, fluidity, and instant responsiveness of the system. The transition has been smooth and satisfying. That said, I recommend being thoughtful about your configuration before purchasing. Apple's unified memory architecture means that RAM is shared between the CPU and GPU, so it's important to choose a configuration that aligns with your usage needs. In my case, I frequently run multiple Chrome profiles with several tabs open, use development tools like IDEs, and run messaging, email, and other productivity apps simultaneously. My typical RAM usage is around 18 GB, and there's still a bit of headroom left — so planning ahead really paid off.

    I’ve been really impressed with the performance of the MacBook Air M4 with 24GB of memory. Everything feels incredibly smooth—from having lots of apps open at once to editing photos or jumping between tasks. It stays fast and quiet no matter what I throw at it, and it’s honestly hard to believe a laptop this thin can handle so much without breaking a sweat. It’s been a joy to use, whether for work or everyday stuff.

    Second to none! Prefer 13 inch portability over 16

    Best portable laptop on the market. BestBuy also did price match with Microcenter for me, 3 weeks after purchase, which is amazing and keeps me coming back for more. BestBuy is the best place to buy electronics, dedicated customer with a bestbuy credit card. :) I use a MBP 16" as a daily laptop at work and I wanted a lighter one for coffee shops and personal work. MBA 13" is perfect, I don't need a faster CPU or RAM, 24GB RAM with M4 is more than what I need.

    Simply an incredible product. Since the beginning I've used both Windows and Samsung products. This was my first Apple product, and after using it for a while, it may be the first of a few. The one thing that stands out to me is its snappy feel. Theres no hesitation when using any program.

    I’ve been a lifelong pc user, but decided I wanted to try a macbook. It is definitely an adjustment, but for word processing and web browsing this device is light, portable, and doesnt have the excessive fan noise I have grown tired of with pc laptops. I would definitely recommend it.
