Best Laptop For Computer Science Major 2013

This MacBook Air is my first Apple MacBook. I got this laptop for Photoshop and Computer Science. Exceeded every single expectations. The process of purchasing and customer service of B&H Photo is excellent.

I purchased this laptop to replace my 2013 MacBook Air. That 9-year old computer never gave me any problems and we still use it for Zoom communications. Although I've only had the new 2022 M2 for a couple of weeks, I have noticed a couple of big differences. One, it is FAST. One of my computing intense photo software programs takes 25-30 seconds on my 2015 iMac to process takes about 1-second on the new M2. Two, the battery lasts a LOT longer than my previous laptop. Granted, there has been 9-years of battery improvements since 2013, but it is impressive. My last observation -- the MacBook Air I got in 2013 is still in operation. Nine years of daily use and its never been in a computer repair shop. Apple quality is unsurpassed.

i was running a 2013-ish iMac. this was a major update, worth every penny.

Bought for a wildlife science major who will need them to do fold work. Chose these because they were a bit more lightweight than the '42's' Clarity is excel. Weatherproofing was a definite plus.

Best laptop I ever have.

Best experience with a Mac laptop since my original computer, a Mac Powerbook back in the late 1990s. Smoother, faster and a step above my current Mac Mini (16gb ram, 3+GHz, etc.). Does everything in Photoshop quickly and quietly, love the M1 chip and the Touch Bar, which I had avoided and didn't think I'd like but do. Very portable. Very cool. Very happy with my purchase. Those who bemoan the lack of connection ports should be assuaged by the many 3rd party plug-in USB C hubs on the market. They provide USB ports of every description as well as an SD card reader and an HDMI port for your monitor. These things look good and don't detract from the appearance of the computer, many of them look like they were designed to blend in with the computer, because they were.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best picture I have seen on any laptop computer. Love the size, weight, speed and especially the small size of the new docking station. Everything is better than expected. I bought two just to have a backup.

I'm a computer science student in university, this docking station is great and makes my life easier.

My daily usage is for light Photo Editing & Computer Science. I’m a first time Mac user and the experience is unique and exciting. Having the Apple Ecosystem is the best thing I have ever had. No issues at all. Excellent service. Recommended 100%
