    It’s the best normal, everyday use laptop you can buy.
    When it comes to the world of laptops and choosing the one right for you, the MacBook Air has always been a good choice. As with this one, it’s a GREAT one. After a few months of using this is the best laptop on the market you can buy while spending a reasonable price. While it’s definitely a big buck to spend, I think I got my moneys worth. It’s fast, reliable, and what you should expect if not more. It’s more than capable of my everyday needs and tasks. Display is nice as well as the overall quality and build as expected. But it’s more than exceptional.

    Capacity: 512GBColor: SilverSet: Without AppleCare+ (3 Years)Verified Purchase
    Love how slim and light weight this is. If you own an iPhone the integration is perfect. You can manage your messages, calls, & emails on this device. Everything syncs up beautifully! The device is very fast and I upgraded to the 512gb SSD. You get the dual 35w charger with this and it charged mine from 50% to full in less than 45 mins while using it. The magnet charging cable is braided and color coded with a light indicator while charging. I am shocked how fast this machine moves and what quality the hidden speakers are. Phone calls and FaceTime are flawless. The new web cam is a welcome upgrade and the notch for it is subtle. The trackpad and keyboard are top notch and respond perfectly. This is worth every penny. I went with silver since that new midnight color is prone to scuffs and scratches showing. No fingerprints show on this silver and it’s a very classic look. If you’re on the fence go for it. You won’t be disappointed. No more windows stuff for me.

    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
    Capacity: 256GBColor: SilverSet: Without AppleCare+ (3 Years)Verified Purchase
    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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Dont know why I waited so long to purchase this amazing laptop
    Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2023
    Capacity: 256GBColor: Space GraySet: Without AppleCare+ (3 Years)Verified Purchase
    Purchased this on sale to replace a 11+ year old OG 15 inch Macbook Pro Retina, which still works perfectly despite the battery not holding a charge long. I tend to keep laptops for a long time and wanted to stay with Apple due to my experience with my last one. I waited on the M2 version for its upgrades over the M1, which I read is also a great computer. Love how fast it is, very snappy, and the specs are perfect for my heavy home office use. Setup was a breeze from an iCloud backup. Have used it on multiple Zoom and Teams video meetings and the new camera and speakers work awesome for this purpose. Hope this one lasts as long as the Mac Pro!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great little laptop
    Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2023
    Capacity: 512GBColor: MidnightSet: Without AppleCare+ (3 Years)Verified Purchase
    This was just what I was hoping it would be. It’s easy to toss around in my backpack. It’s fast and has wonderful graphics. I retired recently but still need a laptop and this does just about everything. I can even charge it on the same C cable I use for everything else although it does have a magnetic charging cable as well. I bought a 100 watt charging block with ports for everything and with that and whatever other electronics I need I still have a light backpack. It’s heavier than previous models but it’s put together better too, not to mention I got the upgraded memory as well. Great Apple product as usual.

    5.0 out of 5 stars First impression on Starlight.
    Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2022
    Capacity: 256GBColor: StarlightSet: Without AppleCare+ (3 Years)Verified Purchase
    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.

    - Surprisingly fast. Three times faster (single core, using Geekbench 6) vs early 2015 MacBook Pro 13” after upgrading the MBP with a fast SSD.
    - Quiet. And keyboard have sufficient depth to type. And screen is crisp. Will be great for typing, research, excel and other productivity work (though an external monitor would be the right place for excel).
    - Trackpad seems to work as intuitively as the 2015 MBP 13.
    - AAA games according to YT give 30-45 fps. I expect it should be fun to play older games if it’s your only computer.
    - Midnight looks great. A nice change from the usual silver. Im avoiding the case route and picking up a non magnetic sleeve to protect it. I expect scratches and dents over its lifetime. Not a big deal.
    - In one day, there are hardly any fingerprints on it, and they don’t bother me. I ask, are you typing on your laptop, or juggling it?

    Everything about the M2 MacBook Air is well designed and executed. This is my first Apple laptop and the display, keyboard and trackpad exceed my expectations. Battery life is good and I can get a full workday and still have 20%-30% left. Quality is superb.

    Amazing.

    Battery ✅ - I travel for work a lot. The battery last for over a week without charging for emails, making docs, casual internet browsing, etc. For heavy processing like creating content, decent enough to last for atleast 5 hours.

    No fan noise ✅ - no fan, so no noise! 😅 Im not a heavy user so this is perfect for me.

    Light! 🪶 ✅ - I mean, it should be cos its “air”. Kidding aside I prefer this more than an ipad pro + keyboard set up.

    Still getting used to it. - I transitioned from using windows for more than 20 years to using macbook just a couple of months ago. I thought it will be difficult but it isn’t. Needs a lot of getting used to, but the regular use of this surely helped a lot in the process.
