2025 MacBook Air 15-inch Laptop with M4 chip: Built for Apple Intelligence, 15.3-inch Liquid Retina Display, 24GB Unified Memory, 512GB SSD Storage, 12MP Center Stage Camera, Touch ID; Midnight

So I should preface this by saying, I am not an apple guy. I primarily use Windows on my desktop and I daily an Android phone. But, I love this laptop. It is fast, silent due to not having a fan, and just a joy to use. It did take a while to get adjusted to MacOS but within a day I was used to it. This is by far the best laptop I have ever used, The screen is great, the battery is quite large and even when doing web browsing all day it sips power. The lack of any USB-A ports is a little bit of a bummer, but I am okay with it. MagSafe is by far the best power connector ever, I remember using it on my old macbook when I was in high school and loved it. So, even if you are in the Windows and Android camps like I am, definitely think about getting a macbook, cause there are still apps out there that let your android phone talk to MacOS like KDE Connect for example. Great job Apple. Ya sold me on this.

I’ve been a full-time Mac user at home since 1998 for personal and graphic design use, and I’ve been a full-time windows user since 2002 for work. Most of my home computers are Macs, though I do have one PC I use for gaming and tech-support.I bought this MacBook to replace an aging Windows laptop I had, and I’ve been tickled to death with it—the screen is plenty large, it’s got plenty of RAM for everything I run concurrently (Internet, email, Microsoft Office, RustDesk), it only weighs a couple of pounds, and it seems like the battery just lasts for days (I typically use it for 30 minutes to 3 hours at a time).I am so thankful they brought back the MagSafe charger, I haven’t had anyone kick the cable and disconnect it from my laptop yet, but I have several small grandchildren, and it’s nice to be prepared. The charging brick has two USB-C ports on it, so I can plug in a charging cable for my phone as well. The laptop has two USB-C ports as well as a 1/8 inch audio jack.I bought the model with the 15 inch screen, 24 GB of RAM, and 500 GB SSD.I think the only thing I don’t love about this laptop is the trackpad: it is nice and large, and has left and right click, but I just don’t like the feel of it, though to be honest, I don’t like the feel of trackpads in general – – I miss the track stick that was on my work-issued Lenovo laptop. The remedy is I just simply bought an inexpensive Bluetooth mouse and that works perfect, no extra dongles.I had been planning to buy a MacBook Pro, but since I don’t really do freelance anymore, I couldn’t justify the expense. It’s just as well, this laptop has all the power I need and more.
