Amazing
Absolutely love this laptop! It’s incredibly fast, super lightweight, and the battery lasts all day. Perfect for school, work, and even light editing. The display is crisp and the M2 chip really makes a difference. Worth every penny.

Fabulous, of course!
This is the first new laptop I've bought since 2013, to replace my mini 11" MacBook Air that isn't being sold anymore (I'll be using that one at the office, as it's still going strong...I can no longer update its operating system). This discounted M2 model, plus the discount on AppleCare, made it a no-brainer for the Prime Day sale. It's quick, responsive, light and compact, holds a charge for a very long time, and I'm very happy with it. I did have to get a C-to-USB adapter to accommodate my old thumb drives. No biggie.I love it! You can't beat Apple products.

Excellent
This was an transition version of the Ipad Air...it has the M1 vs M2 or M4 chip. And, it came with only 64MB of storage. It has a 10.9" screen, which seems about the same as the 11".For me, this combo and a very low price worked very well. However, I can see that I am approaching the 64MB limit a bit faster than I expected. So, with this machine you do need to be aware of storage.Beyond that, it runs great, and might be a real bargain for someone who can live with limited storage and a fast chip.

Great for mobile computing
I purchased this base model Macbook Air M2 for attending online courses through a university. I've been mainly a Windows PC user for a while now. My last Macbook was an old 12-inch Macbook Pro G4 (remember those mini-me/Yow Ming commercials?).After being able to use this laptop for a couple of months, I've decided that given the current state of technology within my home, my future personal computers will most likely be all Apple, as long as I continue to use iPhones, AppleTVs and Apple Accessories (such as AirPods). The current form of the MacOS allows easy use of printers/scanners and any other computer peripheral you may need.With all that said, I will say that you should consider this base model for the following reasons:- You currently have an Apple ecosystem.- You need a lightweight, small form-factor laptop for basic computing needs.- You primarily run cloud-based platforms that don't require local storage.- You'd like to work "unplugged" for many hours without having to charge the laptop.- You enjoy a bright monitor and a pretty decent keyboard to type on.At the same time, I would NOT recommend this model if you need the following:- You'll be running large programs that require a lot of local storage.- You require a machine that will process/render high-resolution media. The lack of a fan will cause the Macbook to thermal throttle, lowering your performance. For a little more, you're better off going with the base model Macbook Pro.- Gaming (Thermal throttle will lower framerates).A few honorable mentions:- Despite the lack of larger, more visible speakers, the sound is decent for this category of laptop.- The low power requirements make this an easy travel laptop, not requiring that you bring a huge brick to keep this thing going.- The redesigned look is a lot nicer than the previous generation (I'm glad the wedge design is gone).Finally, regarding value:Considering where we are in tech today, I feel that for the money, we should no longer have base models with only 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD space. At the very least, I really hope that Apple would consider making their base models start at 16GB of Ram and 512GB of SSD storage without increasing the price. At the very least, if they keep the 256GB of SSD, give the option to keep an SD card on board without having to attach an external drive every time you want expanded storage.

Well built, portable, aesthetically pleasing
I needed a laptop to separate work from personal activities. I thought about getting a Chromebook, but the ones reported to have better build quality were almost as expensive as Windows and Mac laptops. When the MacBook Air M2 went on clearance sale, I jumped on it. I use a MacBook for work, so it is a plus not having to keep two systems in mind. I had seen concerns in reviews about 8 GB memory being insufficient, but I find it very responsive for my light use: email, web browsing, some word processing and watching videos. I don't play video games or do video editing. The screen is nice and big enough for me, and the keyboard has a nice solid feel. Battery life is more than good enough for a machine that I mostly use at home.
