    A Great Laptop with an Amazing Chip

    Posted by John Hudson on 16th May 2024

    I bought this laptop a few weeks ago, and I’m very happy with it. It’s fast, light, and has a beautiful display. The M2 chip is amazing; it handles everything I throw at it without breaking a sweat. I use it for web browsing, video streaming, photo editing, and some light gaming, and it never lags or overheats. The battery life is also impressive; I can go a whole day without plugging it in. The keyboard is comfortable and quiet, and the Touch ID is convenient and secure. The speakers are loud and clear, and the camera is decent for video calls. The only thing I wish it had were more ports; it only has two USB-C ports and a headphone jack, so I had to buy a dongle to connect my external devices. But other than that, I have no complaints. This is the best laptop I’ve ever owned, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful and portable device. It’s worth every penny.

    Mac Book Air

    Posted by Anthony Hester on 13th May 2024

    This computer is AMAZING! I’ve been a Mac user for over a decade now, and my previous computer was the original Mac Book Pro from 2010. Well this Mac Book Air surpasses my old laptop in speed, ease of use, volume quality. Most importantly, it’s basically silent when running, has an incredibly long battery life which is perfect for NP school for me. Beautiful large display

    Replaced laptop and works great till now

    Posted by Kevin Fox on 8th May 2024

    Looks sleek & has been working well so far. It isn't the latest, but more than $1000 cheaper than the M3 chip Macs. The laptop had a really tiny scratch when we bought, but Best buy agents were very diligent about replacing it with yet another brand new laptop

    MacBook Air: the best portable MS/RDP terminal.

    Posted by Robert Scott on 7th May 2024

    This is the first Apple I've bought. I've been looking at the battery life on these for a while and have heard only good things about the M2 processor. I decided to add one to my Windows eco-system. Why, because I can't touch the battery life, performance and build quality with a made for Windows machine for this price. Using a VPN to my home network I'm able to access the much more powerful Windows systems and storage options I have at the house from anywhere I have a stable internet (my phone has unlimited data and a hotspot). Microsoft Remote Desktop app from the Apple app store works great, in the second picture while waiting on dinner I was working on a Windows system at my house while 4+ hours away from home. I can't call it a portable dumb terminal since it can do a lot without connecting into a Windows computer. I find I do use it for web browsing and music playback. I've also used it for Zoom meetings recently as well while feeding the webcam through OBS for effects to the virtual cam used by Zoom. As for why I chose the 15" over the 13"... Well, I've always had 15" laptops and I'm use to the larger screen. Also, I was the 15" has a better sound than the 13" and I only use headphone while in public, rest of the time the speakers are used.

    Increíblemente rápida y ligera

    Posted by Erica Mclaughlin on 27th Apr 2024

    It is a good item, it meets the requirements, it is fast, ideal for work activities. It turns on immediately, the number of apps you can download is large. The resolution of the screen is excellent, the power supply with the charged cable is incredibly fast, it is super light, I would recommend keeping it in a protective case to move it around. The built-in camera may perhaps have some low-medium resolution, but you can compensate for this by turning on the flash or being somewhere with good natural light. The battery performs quite well. the sound is wide. I would also recommend using a mouse for quick activities, since the touch cursor is not as comfortable and the click is only at the bottom. For an M2 processor, I was surprised by the response it has to the number of programs that I can use simultaneously and above all that they are heavy programs like Adobe and other editing programs.

    Oh My Upgrade! This and a USB hub = LOVE

    Posted by Sierra Roberts on 17th Apr 2024

    Needed to purchase a new laptop for work. I would like to preface this with the fact I have been using a MacBook Pro from 2012 (yes... I know...) which no longer supports updates, trackpad stopped working, etc., so no matter what I knew anything was an upgrade for the laptop. I do have an iPhone 13 Pro and an iPad mini 6 for work so I am familiar with some of the more recent upgrades to iOS stuff. When reading the differences between the MacBook Air and the Pro, it seemed like I was going to go with the Pro. Until I got to Best Buy. I didn't want just USB-C, I also didn't know about the multi-port docks which was a big part of why I wasn't really considering the Air. NOTE! With the 15" Air, you have a MagSafe charger, and two USB-C ports on the left side. I ended up getting the SATECHI hub to go with computer. It only uses one of the USB-C ports and does not block the charging port. The first hub that I was shown plugged into both USB-C ports and blocked the MagSafe charger! The customer service gentleman was very happy to learn about this design flaw of multiple ports they carry that he had previously recommended, not realizing that you can't have all the things plugged in! Which could be a huge issue for people! Anyways, back to the MacBook Air. I LOVE it. The Touch ID makes things sooooo easy. I love how seamlessly Apple makes it to work on multiple devices and share files/data/bookmarks/keychain/apps/EVERYTHING. The operating system is incredibly easy to use and intuitive. This computer is FAST!!!!! And so far, I'm incredibly impressed with the battery life. It is so slim, it kind of worries me, but I ordered a hardshell case for it from Amazon since they didn't have any in stock at the store (newest model, not all the accessories yet). I don't have anything negative to say about this computer. I was grateful for the help and guidance of the rep I was working with in regards to what I was going to be using it for and realizing I did not NEED the Pro, that the Air would be more than sufficient, especially coming from a 2012 model. Ended up saving a few hundred bucks by going with the 15" MacBook Air and Satechi Hub vs the smaller Pro I had planned on. Also signed up for the Best Buy Total membership which gives you AppleCare for less than it costs through Apple, plus all the other Best Buy benefits.

    Open Box/ Open the Opportunities !

    Posted by Rachel Hooper on 10th Apr 2024

    This is the second Open-Box Excellent item I’ve purchased from Best Buy. The first was my iPad Air in 2020. It looked brand new and still continues to work til this day. So I decided to give the MacBook Air M2 15 inch Open Box Excellent a shot. And I was not disappointed ! I wanted the 15 inch because I’ll primarily be using it for music production and need enough screen space to comfortably work with Pro Tools. The shipping was fast. The laptop arrived in a plain white box ( I don’t care about the Apple unboxing experience , lol. ) It was packed securely and wrapped in plastic. The charger was just thrown in the box and had a couple smudges on it. I wiped it down with a Clorox wipe and it looked brand new. There was also a small, small scratch on the cover of the MacBook. I have OCD and stuff like that drives me crazy , especially on such a premium product. BUT the scratch was so small, I kind of had to search for it again to find it. Once I put a transparent / starlight hard shell cover on it , I can’t even notice it anymore. The MacBook was restored to factory settings and was a breeze to set up. The battery life is great. Sometimes I do have to take an extra few seconds and make sure the USB -C end is connected securely to the charging brick , if not it won’t charge. Not sure if this is a problem with all MacBook Airs , but it’s not an issue. I purchased Apple Care + and with a Hyper X USB mic and Pro Tools …I’ve been making music ever since ! Great purchase !
