Customer Ratings & Reviews

For the past five years my 2012 11 inch Macbook Air has been a steady and consistent companion. Despite a paltry 2-3 hour battery life, it did what it needed to do and only occasionally did I notice the lack of screen real estate. Then along came the Retina Macbook- with a better screen, much better battery life, and even lighter than my air. However I was put off by the keyboard and the speed of the m3 processor, as well as the single USB-C port. The upgrades to the 2017 Macbook solved two of my issues- the i5 processor increased the speed and the second generation butterfly keyboard is not just something I can live with, I actually like it. Yes it still has the one port, but I can live with that especially since the cost of multi port adapters has decreased significantly. Bottom line: I love it and the difference from my Air is like a Porsche compared to a Volkswagen. If you have been standing on the fence I would say go for it!

I was doing a lot of comparisons between the various MacBooks and finally chose this model for its balance of size, hard drive, processor, and retina screen. While I don't like having on USB-C port and nothing else, there's a lot of hubs that are reasonably priced, and the size the aesthetics of this machine are great. I've been very satisfied with it. My only complaint is that the keyboard seems a bit loud.

I bought this Apple - Macbook® - 12" - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 512GB Flash Storage as a crisis gift to myself. I am a teacher, and this is exactly what I needed. It is very light, absolutely reliable, and I love the color (gold)

The MacBook gets better again with a faster processor and SSD. The keyboard is improved but feels the same to me. The same size means my plastic case and keyboard cover still fit. The main reason I upgraded is Apple's new AppleCare+ for the MacBook. For $249 you increase the warranty to 3 years and add 2 incidents of accidental breakage protection. Replacing the display is $529 alone. Under AppleCare+ breakage protection it's $99. With an Autistic son damage to anything is possible. The laptop is well built but not bullet proof.

I love how portable and versatile this machine is. In my opinion apples only flaw, ( that I can see so far) is that the machine should have had 2 usb c ports. Currently you need to charge your MacBook then connect an external drive or CD rom or purchase a powered usb c hub, which is not sold at bby, as of yet.

Retina display... plenty of storage... a very light and easily portable computer. The MacBook keyboard is one of the best (since the revamp). I love to type with this laptop. A quality machine.

for my situation this MacBook works out better than iPad.

I purchased this MacBook to take with me when traveling or when I need it for workshops that I attend. I found it to be easier to tote around than my 15 inch MacBook. I really like both sizes though.

Outstanding for work travel. So light, like an iPad yet so powerful. Great display and sound. Absolutely love it.

I'm so happy apple released gold macbook products. I was worried about going from an old macbook pro to a regular macbook, but so far so great. I have no problems running large programs such as adobe cc thus far.

Im still fully trying it out but so far so good. It’s so small!

I recently upgraded my 2013 MacBook Pro to this and it runs so much faster and smoother. I have had no issues with it and I love how easy it is to use.

Very happy with the computer. love the size and capability.

Apple - Macbook® - 12" Display - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 512GB Flash Storage (Latest Model) - Gold. Small but powerful! Gold is my favorite color. Just perfect for work and home.

I generally use my laptop for browsing as well as some coding and I have had no problem doing either with this laptop. I open tons of tabs and also use a few other apps like Skype simultaneously and I have not had any issues. The build quality is fantastic and overall a gorgeous laptop. I’m glad I got the half terabyte drive because I feel the base mode of 256 is too small (remember that the iOS software takes a good chunk of that and things like Skype will take up even more, let alone downloads/movies/documents).

I needed something ultraportable. This works great for walking and working at the hospital. Mobile chipset but super fast for what I do.

I’ve been using MacBook Pro for years and i love irá light weight and the a the compact size lets me use ir anywhere.

It is an Apple. It runs fast. It is light and compact for travel. It's an awesome computer!

Small screen and big buttons on keyboard. Very easy to take with. Lightest computer Ive ever had

I use this as my daily computer for grad school and it works great. Super light and long battery life.
