Apple MacBook Air 13 Inch

published

I Bought them. in Jan 18, and by May 18 I have to bring back to Apple store Sydney, they replace the Logic board as still in warranty . Now Nov 18 the battery is dead and the apple store has to replace again .
We are using them pretty much average 2-3 hour / day for doing the assignment .

I'm not sure if really worth buying apple again . But I think I will definitely moving to another brand, Spending more than $1500 but get a B grade products . I hope that Apple people with read this one .

Probably the most durable laptop I have ever had

published

I had this simply because my sister switch it with me as she want a better one. After having this for over 4 years, as a clumsy person, I often would bumped it into other things and every time I thought it is done after hitting something hard, but when I turn it on, it works just fine. But there was one time that really changed my percetion about this MacBook Air. I dropped it from the bench while watching YouTube and cooking, I really think that was it. But it still works!!!!! Easily the most robust lap top I have had. Absolutely love it

Amazing!

published

So compact and easy to use. I got this for my uni course and the long battery life and amazing graphics Is just what I need. They are a bit pricey but the long life I’ll get out of this laptop makes it a worthy investment and gives me all the things I need!

Love it!

published

The macbook has been nothing but awesome since I bought it. It's lightweight, fast and very easy to use. No issues so far and am looking forward to using it more. The battery drains very slowly and is quickly charged, while the keyboard is very light and easy to type on.

The best laptop I have ever had

published

This is my 4th Macbook and 2nd Macbook Air. I had Macbook Pros before I had the Airs. Cannot fault any of the Macbooks I have used so far. Slick, beautiful powerful machine. I pretty much never shut down unless I have to to install an update. They NEVER break down. I use MS Office on my Air and works beautifully. I also had Windows installed that worked better than a surface! The biggest advantage is, I don't need to buy and antivirus or need to "clean" my computer or get blue screen of death or frozen screens! Macbooks are unbreakable!

Fast Mac unfortunately battery dies pretty quickly

published

Small, compact, fast when its new but soon slows down if battery is not replaced, unfortunately apple does not stock this computer anymore so I have to buy a new one once I got so used to tis one, not a fan of the Mac Book Air, sorry, this one was a bit more sturdy. It is discontinued now so I can't even get a new cord for it anymore, a shame.

The computer is ideal for traveling to uni and completing my work needed for both uni and work. Excellent graphic display and any problems Apple resolves quickly and efficiently. Only had one problem with the battery which was replaced under warranty. Good size for bags and no complaints from me.

Great purchase

published

Light computer that is suitable for school work with pretty decent graphic display. Price is good and great for users of other apple products, might be inconvenient for android users. Built in speakers are okay but not wonderful. Performance good enough to watch movies but not suitable for gaming. Well rounded computer for moderate users and amazingly long battery life. Worth every dollar, my only regret is that I chose the 128gb model which proves to be too little.

Replacement for the old MacBook Pro

published

Late Jan 2018 I replaced by 8yr old MacBook 13" 4GB RAM with a new 256GB 13" MacBook Pro 8GB RAM with retina display, whilst my model does not have the Touch Bar which was another $500. Whilst lighter it is so much quicker with the latest OSX updates. It model has 7th generation dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 and Two Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports. I had to buy an additional attachment to plug into the MacBook so I could plug in all other items including iPhones, iPad and even iPods (yes still used). At the time JB Hifi actually had this model discounted, which was a surprise as I don't recall ever seeing Apple discounted, so can only assume this is the runout model.

A great mobile laptop

published

Laptop has a great screen, very clear and fantastic to carry in a work satchel.

Always been a fan of apple mac air and they are wonderful and versatile to take anywhere.

Main things to watch are battery life, keyboard structure and not spilling fluids on the keyboard.

Top of the market but price is commensurate with the product.

Never used Mac before but I'm hooked!

published

I love this computer, it's fast, lightweight and surprisingly easy to use. I had never used a Mac before but picked it up in no time and don't think I would go back.

The only thing that annoys me is the constant updates and if you don't do them you lose some functions.

MacBook Air 13-inch

How does the Macbook Air's cope with editing softwares and loads of footage? im a media student and been suggested to get a Macbook air/pro but how convient is this mac towards what is needed of me?As well as the maintance of this product?

Hi, based on the info provided I would recommend the pro over the air. The air was not designed to handle that kind of application.

SRJSyd

The Air is powerful enough to run Final Cut Pro X - but it depends on how complex your movie is - the Pro has better graphics and faster processors. I use my Air (1.7Ghx Intel Core i7, Intel HD Graphics 5000, with 8Gb Ram and 500Gb SSD) to do imports and rough edits when I am in the field and transfer to a Mac Pro for the heavy duty work when I get home. Its a LOT cheaper than the Mac Pro...

You can connect to the Internet through WIFI but cannot do so with a Sim card.

No not the same as the ipad, the next best solution is to purchase a 3g hotspot or USB dongle
