This was an Amazon Warehouse Deal, which I've had luck with over the years. It was like resurrecting my old machine only under the OS Catalina which my unit arrived with. I removed its HD and was easily able to migrate my apps, preferences, account data, etc., into this new Macbook Air with Migration Assistant. Recently, a 2011 MacBook Pro I'd picked up used kicked the bucket.
Macs continue to be dependable machines with a long life. If you are a Software Developer, I don't think I would recommend this, because you might be running several tasks and might be held back a bit by this laptop and should go for a Pro if you can afford it. If you are getting this laptop to do none intensive tasks like editing and viewing documents, watching videos, replying to emails, you will be more than happy with this. I feel that for the price they should have used an intel i5 and not i3 and it does make it feel slow when using several apps. The charger cable feels short and it does not have that magnetic connector at the end to easily come out of the charging port. The display easily gets smudges and picks up dust so you are going to regularly feel the need to clean the screen. But with the size of the display, I would say if I am using it intensively, I get about 4 hours. I guess because they had to reduce the size of the battery. The battery life compared to my previous 2017 Macbook Air is smaller.
The build and weight is sublime.Now the things that I dont particularly like. The laptop turns on and off incredibly fast and running several apps at once does not slow it down significantly. The keyboard buttons are smooth and easy to press. The keyboard and display are my two favorite things about it. So I couldnt use any apps until I downloaded Catalina.I previously used a 2017 Macbook Air so I was pretty comfortable with this new model. When I got it, it did not has MacOS pre-installed, which I thought was very weird. So the carrier helped ship it to my country, Zambia. Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2020įirst, I must state that I ordered this laptop through a carrier as I am not in the U.S. Great laptop but slightly overpriced (IMO) Apple 13.3 inches MacBook Air with Retina Display, Intel Core i5 8th Gen Dual-Core, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD - Mid 2019, Space Gray MVFH2LL/A (Renewed)
