This is my third MacBook. Each one has had improvements - thinner, lighter, quicker. However, I have had some problems with this one.First it is annoying that there are only two USB C ports (only one if the power cable is in use).Second, as everything I linked to the previous MacBook used a type A USB plug I had to buy new leads and adapters.Third, the previous model had an SD slot. I used that for permanent storage. This model has no slot which meant extra cost to ensure adequate hard drive space.Fourth, the feel of the keyboard is very different and I am still not at ease with it after 3 months. Some reviews I read seemed to think it better.Fifth, the problems really came when I downloaded the latest OS - 11.0.1, Big Sur. The search facility on Mail refused ... MoreThis is my third MacBook.

(This is a major problem noted on the Apple Support Communities. I found a fix which worked for me but not for others.) At the same time a serious problem came with Photos. This took much time to solve with Apple Support - best part of a day.On the positive side the switch from the old MacBook worked well using Time Machine to restore everything I had installed and stored.It is a good Apple machine, essentially, and the support is excellent, even though it would have been nicer not to need it.No problems with anything other than that noted above and even with hindsight I would still have bought it.

If I could give zero stars I would. The machine would not power on at all (straight out of the box). Left it to charge all night and it still didnt get past 1%. I took it to the Apple store the next day and was told it was refurbished, and that the warranty had expired. I would have to pay almost $500 to have it serviced. (Supposedly this was a New Machine BTW). This was my daughter's graduation gift so she was excited about it. And for it to not work at all and get her hopes up, so I purchased one from the Apple Store while there. Much better, and reliable.. Becareful and be sure to READ EVERYTHING. The return was simple but I just didn't like the hassle and the disappointment on my daughters face. Not sure when/if I will purchase anything from BB again.

The left shift key was stuck down when I took out the box. I was able to get it to come up; but it continued to be sticky, that is, it would not immediately pop up after being released. Seems like something dirty or sticky is under the keys. Scared something might have been dropped or spilled by previous owner. Needless to say, I’m returning and will find another. Also, It’s clear no one took the time to clean this comp before shipping. Several small areas like the cut out to lift the lid has the oil dirt build up you often see these devices develop over time. Very easy clean, not sure why it was not done

I previously owned a MacBook Pro (2013) when I started undergrad. That laptop lasted me about 6 years and then I made the switch to Lenovo when it was time to get a new laptop for my Master's program. I chose the Lenovo due to the touch screen, fingerprint feature, and sleek design. However, I was very unhappy with the fact that that laptop basically only functioned for a year and recently just crashed and broke down on me (no damage to the computer whatsoever. I then decided I would make the switch to the reliable apple laptop. I went with the Macbook air because this laptop is sleek and light.

It is definitely easy to carry around and provides me with the tools I need to be successful in school. I love that this laptop has fingerprint recognition (a feature my last Lenovo laptop has, but that one only worked like a week and then the fingerprint pad just stopped working & never started working again). That being said, this laptop has been very reliable for me so far and I haven't had any complications. It is very user friendly and the display is super nice. It's safe to say that apple by far has the best products when it comes to phones or laptops. So glad I ditched my Lenovo for this new MacBook. If you are a student or someone who is working from home during this pandemic, I highly recommend getting one of the new Apple laptops! I am very satisfied with my purchase.
I bought this MB Air to replace a decade old MB Pro. The Pro had lots of connection ports, one for power, one for ethernet, one for Firewire 800, one for Display Port, two for USB 2.0, one for headphones, one for an SD card. The Air has only two Thunderbolt 3 ports. Something as simple as connecting two external hard drives to copy files from one to the other becomes a problem. I have an unpowered USB hub, but as soon as I connected two bus-powered drives to the hub, they wouldn't work. If I connect each drive to one of the Tbolt ports, now I have no power connection. I wasn't interested in paying another $500 to get a MB Pro with four Tbolt ports, now I'm wondering if that was a bad idea. A powered dock that supports Tbolt 3 as well as USB 3.2 gen 2 costs almost ... MoreI bought this MB Air to replace a decade old MB Pro.

I wasn't interested in paying another $500 to get a MB Pro with four Tbolt ports, now I'm wondering if that was a bad idea. A powered dock that supports Tbolt 3 as well as USB 3.2 gen 2 costs almost $300 and is a bulky peripheral that must be pluged into an AC socket.The old MagSafe power connectors work better than USB-C in my opinion, as they can be connected easily by feel, even in the dark. Of course a MagSafe charger does not use up an important port.I am also annoyed that there are no hardshell cases available yet even though it's been three months since the MB Air started shipping.Other than the port and case annoyances, I am very happy with the MB Air. It is much, much faster than my old MB Pro and having USB 3.2 gen 2 capability makes transfers to external drives crazy fast to what I was used to with Firewire 800 and USB 2.0. Touch ID is a fantastic time-saving feature. This is my first Mac with a Retina display and I am impressed.I suppose for users who flip their laptops every 2-3 years, this MB Air might not seem too exciting but users who hang on to their Macs for 10 years like me, it's a quantum leap.
Tl;dr: If you're a Mac user, there's no insight I can give you. If you're a Windows/ChromeOS person wondering if you should switch, do it. I was so thrilled my review here ended up being 8 paragraphs.... I decided to cut most of it out and save it for a blog. The short story, I'm happy and wish I had done this sooner.More thoughts:I have light Mac experience prior to this purchase - mostly when I hopped on a client's computer at their office and they happened to have a Mac. It was always a little frustrating not knowing the shortcuts and I always seemed to unintentionally minimize windows and be unclear about how to get them back. Ha!Well, the main company I work with now is Mac based.

Ha!Well, the main company I work with now is Mac based. They constantly send things via text/iMessage - and its clear they're on their computers while I'm struggling on my phone to keep up with the links and docs being sent around. Emailing the links they sent from my phone to my computer was honestly getting on my nerves. Now that I'm assisting with reviewing docs they create in Keynote and Pages as well, I reached my limit of trying to fit into their Mac world. Maybe its a dumb reason to switch operating systems, but it was the push I needed and I think I did it at exactly the right time.Apple really is its own little cult world. But if you're like me and you have Apple everything else (I already have the phone, watch, iPad and Pencil), just do yourself a favor, get the computer and complete the circle. And if you already have an iPhone or Apple account, setup will take you less than 5 minutes. Since I keep most of my files in Dropbox, transferring files isn't even something I had to do. I connected my Apple ID, downloaded Chrome (since 8 years of bookmarks and Google account preferences are there) and I was off and running.The main reason I held off of making the switch for years was the price - my thinking was always, well, if my PC goes bust, I can get two or three more for the same price. I still think that, BUT the cost was worth it on day one for helping me streamline my work life and personal entertainment/education/reading experience.
No complaints so far.Dude basically tossed it to me in the parking lot, but no problems. The computer is easy to smudge (the outside) so I would be mindful of that if that’s important to you.For context I’m a graduate student and predominantly use the computer for school related activities. Be aware of what Big Sur can and cannot be compatible with, as I was disappointed with some games/software that weren’t compatible. Worth the price in my opinion, while the camera is less than amazing, the screen is pretty and the keyboard is smooth. If you’re going to drop the cash on a computer and you don’t know a ton about them, you might as well get a Mac. It’s just a nice piece of equipment and will last a very long time, especially for people that only use their computer ... MoreNo complaints so far.Dude basically tossed it to me in the parking lot, but no problems.

I’ve never owned a Mac, and I’m a recent iPhone user, and the convenience of it all is very awesome. I can delete anything from my phone from my computer and vice versa. It’s nice. The computer works well for school and zoom appointments. Enough storage for me, was able to pull all my photos from networking sites to have them all in one space. A regular mouse won’t work with this computer and you will need a USB-C adapter for USB related things or if you need more ports. Battery life is very good and doesn’t take much time to charge. I recommend.
I bought this new years Eve. My first time having a MacBook. I'm not loving it so far. My safari worked for first couple days then it stopped working completely, it won't open and no one has responded to the reporting submitted. It's the 13Jan Safari still won't open. I can't get to the macOS recovery screen because it won't let me put my password in. For some reason the keyboard in recovery screen only inputs some keystrokes so I can't put my password in therefore can't get to the recovery screen to be able to reinstallmacOS and Safari. So not impressed with MacBook Air. I find Apple very limited versus Android/windows. I don't like that you can't delete Safari to be able to reinstallmacOS or other apps.

The color in videos is so dark and my brightness is all the way up. I seem to be able to do more with my iPad Pro. I expected more from a laptop especially for the expensive price. I prefer Androd and windows for user friendly capability. MacBook is not user-friendly. I would not buy again. I like my tablet much better for ease of useWhat I do like is the look and it is light weight, it starts up quickly.
Maybe I'm comparing it to my MacBook Pro that I purchased in January of 2013 or my updated HP laptop from work, but I really do not like this (MacBook Air). If I could return it, I would. This will be the last time I purchase a MacBook Air. I can't tell you the numerous times a day that it's slow to open a web site...basic sites. My wireless internet is pretty stable. In comparison to my HP laptop that I have from work, it's very disappointing. The little multi-color circle appears several times a day when surfing the internet. When I pick up the MacBook pro to take it to another location while watching a video, it freezes (the return of the multi-circle). It's SO frustrating!

My 2012 MacBook Pro died recently and I replaced it with the new air. After the pro, this feels incredibly light and portable. I find myself working outside more because it’s so easy to take anywhere. I’m getting a good 10 hours battery life with normal use which is amazing given how light this is.I was worried about loss of functionality going down to the air from the pro, but for my purposes, I don’t feel like I’m missing anything and in fact, I think I use this more for everything than I did the pro because it is so light and easy to carry around in my bag.One bad thing I need to mention: two weeks after I bought it, it stopped charging.

It’s shocking when an apple product is glitchy like that but I give Best Buy props for making a curbside exchange painless and hassle-free. Just really sad I got the silver because they were out of the space gray I originally bought.I would tell anyone who wants a Mac for normal use—documents, business apps, light video editing, streaming, listening to music, etc. not to worry about missing out on something by downgrading to air instead of pro. This does everything you need it to do, plenty of processing power, and so nice and lightweight, you’ll use it all the time. Love the new keyboard, typing is actually fun again. And fingerprint passwords are the thing I never knew I needed but note can’t live without. At $999, this is a no-brainer great buy.
