Frequently asked questions

Is the MacBook Air powerful enough for most people?

Yes — for office work, browsing, video, study and light creative tasks it's smooth and more than capable. Only heavy pro workloads need the Pro.

How is the battery life?

Outstanding — the Air routinely lasts a full day and runs silently with no fan.

Should I get more storage or memory?

If you keep lots of files or multitask heavily, yes — pick the right configuration on Amazon, since it's fixed at purchase.
