After years of saying, “One day I’ll get a 13-inch MacBook Air,” I finally did it. Costco dangled a Black Friday deal in front of me, and—what can I say—I blinked first.
And you know what? I’m delighted.
This light blue MacBook Air is small, light, and honestly… adorable. It’s the kind of computer that makes you want to leave the house, wander to a coffee shop, and type something—anything—just because it’s fun to use. It slips into a bag without the usual negotiation about weight, bulk, or whether I really want to carry a laptop today.
No, it’s not the most powerful Mac in the lineup. And the screen isn’t the luscious, movie-theater-in-your-lap panel of the Pro models. But the battery just keeps going, the machine stays quiet, and it runs full Mac apps without complaining. Best of all, it has an actual, comfortable keyboard—something my iPad, as much as I enjoy it, never quite replaces.
After a few days with it, I’m left with a single question: why did I wait so long? Sometimes I don’t need the “Pro.” Sometimes I just want something light, friendly, and ready to go anywhere.
The MacBook Air is exactly that. And I think it’s going to get a lot of coffee shop miles. ☕️
