Customers enjoy the Macbook® 12" for its light weight, ease of use, and compact size, finding it powerful and reliable for their needs. Many appreciate the long battery life and aesthetically pleasing design. However, some customers express dissatisfaction with the limited number of USB ports.
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 needed a small portable laptop. After trying the new MacBook Air, which I found too heavy, I bought the small Rose Gold MacBook. In spite of the weird plug in, I love it. I was able to order a matching adapter so I could plug in my backup hard drives ( I found a better one than apple). It is light enough for me and has a long battery life. Although it was more expensive than the air, I love it and am glad I bought it. I use this one primarily for a book I am writing. I travel with it once a week.
