Now I've gone Mac I'll never go back

Posted by: ajmh58 from Chicago, IL on 05/22/2013So, while there's been a little bit of a learning curve adapting to Mac's OS, I have zero regrets. This is the fastest, sexiest, most intuitive computer I've ever had in my life, and the portability factor of the Macbook Air made it totally worth the money.

Posted by: digipicfan from KC, MO on 05/20/2013I am a bigger Mac fan with each new Apple product I purchase. They never disappoint. So easy to use, very dependable. The speed of MacBook Air is great. Sleek design. If I ever have questions or need help with something, the Apple Care support makes the purchase price of computer worth every penny. They are highly competent, based in U.S., easy to communicate with, and they know their stuff. Always friendly and helpful.

Best. Macbook. Ever.
5
Posted by: aabeene from Henderson, TN on 05/18/2013If you're looking for a Macbook of any kind, this is the one to get. Sleek, slim and powerful, it packs all of the punch of the Macbook Pro in a smaller package. The only real drawback is the lack of Retina Display. If you're that much into it, just wait around for next year's model. Otherwise, go on and jump in!

Whats to love?

Posted by: Pissd from Home on 05/18/2013It's good but not great, no better than a good PC Ultrabook. Now Apple's service is great!!! I bought this from BB and it was tampered with/damaged right out of the box. BB refused to take it back - although within their return timeframe. I contacted Apple and they replaced it no charge. Obviously I give BB a million thumbs down and Apple gets Billion Thumbs Up. Now will BB print this review?

Love it!

Posted by: PortLoverBroker from Houston, TX on 05/18/2013I use my Air Mac for my everyday use for work. It's super light and easy to take with you you on the go. I love the portability, design esthetics, and the speed of this laptop. I like being able to take it with me to showings when showing my clients properties. Being a real estate broker the portability of a lap and light weight was one of my priorities. Extremely happy with my purchase!
