i'm new to this and need a system that doesn't use internet to run. I have a macbook air and need to know if it would be compatible?

This is compatible with Macs, but you do need some kind of connection in order to contact the credit card payment processing network and get the payment approved and processed. This reader just reads the card, you need software on your computer to do something with the data that was read. That software would then need a connection, usually an Internet or phone connection, to contact the payment network and process the payment. You want a reader that is compatible with your computer and also with the software you are using, so it might be better to choose your point of sale software first and then look into the connection and readers recommended by the software.
