Even as a Midnight MBA Guy, I have the Starlight iPhone 13, and I must admit the Starlights rocks. Definitely want to see it in person on the Air. Hope y’all are enjoying your MBAs (or iPad Air, iPhone 13, iPad Mini or Apple Watch, how ever YOU starlight)
 
I have Starlight. Wanted midnight (and had that on order first) but really couldn't bother with the hideous fingerprints (tried it myself at the store).
I love (yellow) gold like I had on my 12" Macbook a few years ago but Apple never brought that back. Rose gold is too copper/pinkish and Starlight is just silver with a hint of beige. Pity really.
 
I love my starlight MBA! I also have the starlight iPad Mini with a dark cherry Smart Folio on it. The dark cherry color looks awesome with the starlight. I prefer my MBA naked.

Easily the best color.

Starlight owners don’t exist. I don’t know of anyone who owns a starlight apple product and doubt I ever will
It’s just a silver with a gold tint to it and in most light looks exactly like silver
This. I know lots of apple people and not a single one of them owns a starlight colored apple product. me included. Lots of silver. Lots of space grey. But that's pretty much it.

Wait a minute -- is that the new MBA on top? And the old MBA on bottom? The old one is the 13-in model, I gather? And it's bigger than the new MBA? I'm surprised! I would have guessed the new MBA has the bigger footprint.
Yes, it's much smaller than the 2013 one! and screen is bigger

Starlight looks nice to me. Not too shiny like Silver but not too eye-catching like Gold. Perfectly balanced. I still prefer my Midnight 13 mini and AW7 though. I also ordered my iPad Air in Blue rather than in Starlight because, well, I like Blue as well? ;)
 
Funny thing I'm not a "gold" person. I have no (yellow) gold jewelry - I prefer silver, white gold, stainless steel. And yet this Starlight MBA caught my eye. I guess I wanted something different from my 12" Macbook Retina which was silver. Silver and space gray struck me as boring and the kind of device everybody has. So I really don't mind if I "don't exist" - quite the contrary. ;)
 
I originally bought a silver model for my wife and I, but mine arrived damaged from the factory so I was able to get a free upgrade in another colour. Went with starlight to match my watch (and I was kinda regretting getting two machines in the same colour anyway).

Really happy with it overall. It’s still hard to tell our laptops apart unless they’re side-by-side, but I think this is the second best colour Apple has this year besides traditional silver. It looks sooo much better in person than in any of their product shots.

Of course I went Starlight! It's walking the fine line of staying classy while having a bit of color.

Here is a matching version of the classic mac desktop bg :)

Awesome 🤩 downloaded! Thanks 🙌
 
I really like Starlight, but was kind of hoping the MBA would come in as many colours as the iMac. Three types of grey plus a blue/black is not really enough variety.

Silver = Grey
Space Grey = Dark Grey
Starlight = Warm Grey
Midnight = Blue/Black
 
I was just at Best Buy and they had the Starlight color Air on display.

Hell to the no! It looks like an aged, dirty silver! Silver all the way!

Fan of starlight! Think I know where the marketing team came up with the name. Just saying... 😉

Star light, star bright, First star I see tonight; I wish I may, I wish I might. Have the wish I wish tonight.

Love how the colour makes the screen and keys pop visually.
