Did not last a year
I . write this with a heavy heart, as I'm a huge Mac fan. Early 2022, I purchased the Macbook Air 2018 model. Within a month, I could hear the fan going into turbo mode - didn't matter whether I was just running safari or Adobe products... Then in the past two months, the keyboard has become faulty - throwing in random fullstops, and sometimes failing altogether.
Dealing with Apple Support was tedious - multiple attempts of contacting them, getting bounced between operators.
Thankfully, as this was purchased through the QANTAS store, they have been awesome, and are refunding us completely. It absolutely makes me hesitant to purchase another one... if I do, I'll definitely be buying Apple Care!
Purchased in January 2021 at Qantas Frequent Flyer for $1,800.00.

Absolute Trash (Not just for me)
My school gives every student from year 8 to year 12 one of these. Not many people actually like these things, they aren't suited for school. Reasons why? Well... Firstly, the processing power on this computer is hard enough to process a 1080p youtube video (the screen on the thing isn't even 1080p), nor can it handle more than about 3 chrome tabs open at once, before it starts losing it's 'brilliant performance' everyone talks about. Secondly The highly appraised '12 hour battery life' after about a week of light use (word and chrome for scho...Read more
ol work), that battery life has dropped to under 7 hours, as I barely get through the school day without having about 12% left on my battery indicator. When doing more intense work, even small types, (light photoshop etc.) the battery barley lasts more than about half an hour. Thirdly, Memory. The MacBooks our school gives us all have 8GB of internal physical RAM, although the whole time the computer uses less than 4GB of that and then it will store the RAM bassed information on your SSD, filling up anywhere from 1GB to 24GB of SSD internal storage in less than a minute. This happens even when there are no applications open on the computer at all. Fourthly, The 121.1GB SSD is filled up with 50GB of system files from when you open the box on the first day of use, leaving you with about 71GB to place Applications, Files and other items. If you add programs from adobe, they take up about 20 or 30GB so be ready for very little space on your mac and for the really annoying 'low disk space' alert to constantly and frequently appear in the top corner of your mac. The Mac constantly overheats and being a fully metal design can get so warm that it burns your legs, leaving you in pain while the loud little fan tries to keep your mac cool. The design and operating system make this computer not worth the $1200 AUD that you can buy this for. Buy windows laptop. It will be higher performing for less money.

The Mac that keeps you on top of everything
I'm an android user when it comes to my phone [wont go back to apple] but when it comes the computer I'm comfortable in using the Apple MacBook Air 13 inch 2018.
The MacBook Air is one of those laptops that is modern, sleek and cool all in the one. Love the fact that there literally no waiting time when logging into the system, high level of security which makes you feel protected, sound quality is up to perfection, visuals are second to none & connectivity to other systems i.e. sound system connects instantly.
The MacBook Air is pricey but what laptop/computer isn't.
Overall I think the MacBook Air is for all users whether its for business or personal use.
I don't think i'll ever go back to an Android laptop/PC anytime soon :)
Purchased in January 2021 at Apple Store Australia for $2,100.00.

An upgrade that changed my life!
This lightweight and durable laptop is a game changer for myself and my homeschooled children.
Easy to use and reliable. We couldn’t be happier.
I myself can’t fault this laptop. From surfing the web, watching videos to keeping our family photos in order and not to mention our music! And much, much much, more. It’s all at your finger tips with this amazing product!

Great computer, but the keyboard...
The MacBook air is great and is a huge upgrade on the previous model. It is fast, compact and crystal clear graphics. The only issue is the keys on the keyboard are continuously getting stuck down and you are forced to remove the key to fix this. Other then this, the computer is great!

Love it!
Love my MacBook Air, it is sleek, light, fast and does the job. I mostly surf the web, stream music and videos so is perfect for my purpose. Battery lasts a very long time and I love being able to use the Bluetooth on my laptop to connect to my Bose speaker. The only downside so far is that there is no standard USB port, you need to buy an adaptor which I didn't realise before I purchased it. It is a bit of an inconvenience but not a deal breaker. My last Macbook Air lasted over 7 years with barely an issue so I'm hoping this one does the same!

Awful Camera resolution: Apple
I myself have bought this device when it was released and can confirm that the camera is by far the worst resolution in the history of cameras on laptops. I have exchanged it for another device however the quality remains the same. This goes for any Macbook Air 2018 device I have tested in store (on display).
