    I've been using Macs since the little tan box that people now use as fish bowls so I wasn't surprised that this MacBook is fast and convenient. The battery lasts much longer than I expected and charges relatively quickly. Being a fireman's wife, I check for heat both on the charger and the computer case while it's charging and don't detect any. However, I never leave any device charging when no one is around. That's just common sense. It's lot of computer for the money and I'm happy I bought it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great laptop, too small for my workflow
    Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2024
    Style: 16GB RAMCapacity: 512GBColor: MidnightSet: Without AppleCare+ (3 Years)Verified Purchase
    Objectively speaking, the M3 16 gb ram w/ 512 storage is a 5-star computer all day, so I am giving 5-stars.

    This is a great device, but everyone already knows that, so I am focusing on two big considerations that I had - specs and size. I am just a layperson who primarily uses this device for office work.

    In sum, wish I could keep this one, but it's just too small. This size is will be great for many users. Further, I will not ever buy a base model (8/256), but many people would probably be fine with base model.

    Specs-

    I originally bought a base model M2 (8/256) but swapped it out for the M3 16/512. With a brand new base model M2, I was constantly using memory swap and in yellow memory pressure. This happened immediately and took almost nothing. In addition, I only had ~80 gb of memory left after MacOS, iMessage, etc. took up most of the space on my hard-drive. I spent 2 days trouble-shooting this issue with Apple - turns out my only real option was to spec up. I bought the base model thinking I would be okay since I use cloud based services for everything. I was wrong. For ME, the super savings on the base model are NOT worth it. The savings will be worth it for other people with different needs and preferences. (And, again, I am a just layperson w/ tech. Just trying to share my lay opinion from my experience. Take with grain of salt.)

    Size-

    I actually love the size of the 13-inch, but for my work use, the screen is just too small. I use this laptop for work and personal, but my workflow is the most important consideration. I tend to multitask and juggle multiple word processing documents, pdfs, excel spreadsheets, and internet browser tabs. I also use split screen. I just cannot see enough text at once when I review documents - this causes decreased productivity and a far less comfortable experience.

    So, I have to size up to the 15-inch. If this was JUST a personal laptop, I would keep the 13-inch and absolutely love it.

    Also, I went to a store and tested out both sizes before purchasing, but that did not help me. Unfortunately, I had to test drive with my actual workflow before I realized the 13-inch was insufficient for my needs.

    Oh, one other thing. I love the midnight color. But all the fingerprint concerns are 100% legit (even with the M3, which I really did not notice the supposed improvement). I happen to find the beautiful color to be worth the fingerprints, but if that bothers you - do not buy midnight.

    Good luck, everyone!

    This laptop is a complete game changer. I am usually a PC guy but I ended up getting a Mac to change things up. The way you can text and easily connect any Apple device to it so easily completely changed how I do my work and leisure shopping. The M3 chip is also insanely fast and the extra RAM definitely helps me browse more things at once. I haven’t edited anything yet, but I’m sure it would be perfect for any job that is needed. The color is also perfect as I haven’t seen any finger prints yet. Would recommend completely!!

    The device would've been excellent for the base price if it had at least 12GB RAM and a 512 SSD. For what they're currently offering, it's not worth the money.
