Great deal
||Posted .I was going back and forth with this and the macbook pro. I was convinced that i wanted the pro more and was gonna spend the extra 200 for a 256gb but i couldnt pass on this deal! i've always been a windows user but got an iphone. i gotta say I LOVE THEIR OS. I game a lot and I have a separate desktop for that. definitely this laptop is not for gaming. you can game probably at very low graphics but ports are an issue. it doesn't bother me since I bought this laptop for working at home to work by the window if i wanted toxD this meets my needs. It's fast and just has that premium feel. the key board is great i can type on this for hours.i actually just made a review so i could have a reason to type lol. love the portability, love the track pad, i feel like this is their best feature xD i'm having fun with all the short cuts. the retina screen is awesome to watch movies or videos. super fast boot the only annoying thing i encountered was when i dowloaded their recent os update it took around 10 mins. i'm so used to it being fast but apple did say they are gonna take longer so i don't think its the laptop's fault. overall this is worth for me as long as the one port doesn't bother you guys or the troll 480 p webcam (air has a better one at 720p). if you want it, buy it but for sure there are cheaper options out there but this is just built so good!! try it in store. the chassis the screen just in love with it!!! it took me a while to decide. maybe a month. but i went in stores to check the feel of laptops i wanted and watched video comparisons.. ultimately chose this mac. (macbook pro, macbook, dell xps)

Finally worth it!
||Posted .I owned the original 2015 MacBook and it was a good little computer, but frequently stuttered and got bogged down a lot. Even just browsing the web it was not a smooth experience and would get hot while using. This new model is substantially better than the 2015 version. Programs open fast, web browsing is great, battery life is great and the revised keyboard is fantastic to type on. I don't know exactly what Apple changed with the keyboard but this is more like typing on a MacBook Pro now and not quite like the flat original keys of the 2015 MacBook. I have not done any video conversion yet so I have no opinion on the processing speed. I debated between this and the new MacBook Pro for the same price; since Apple cut the base Pro to 128GB, the 12" MacBook is now the better deal in my opinion.

Great Laptop
||Posted .I needed a laptop for normal day to day things. I love how small and light it is. It has a quick processor and I like how when I am on it doing something. It synces to my phone so I can see my text messages. It’s honestly too smart for me and I have no idea how to use it, but so far I love it!

Love it!
||Posted .Since I made my first Mac purchase about eight or nine years ago, I have always owned a MacBook Pro. I owned 2010 and 2012 models. On this most recent purchase, however, I was going back and forth between buying the base model 12" MacBook and the base model MacBook Pro 13" model as their entry price are the same and they have different things to offer. I was very tempted to purchase the MacBook 12" when I first saw it in store; I loved the size and loved the keyboard; however, I was concerned when I initially saw the specs that came along with the base model. As I considered my options, there was a flash sale hosted by Best Buy that I could not resist. The current (2017) MacBook's price was significantly decreased and, to save even more money, I found an open box, certified like new, deal on the same date. I figured that this was the perfect time to make up my mind and made the purchase. The computer arrived two days later. I immediately put the computer through its paces and tested its competence in completing the tasks I know I will put it through in the years to come (as I typically keep my Mac purchases a number of years before updating again). I was able to have the computer set up completely in 10-15 minutes. I did typical web searching and the computer handled this without lagging, even with multiple tabs. I simultaneously had multiple apps open at the same time, as I am a huge multitasker. The 8 GB memory makes this computer handle the multitasking with ease. I was able to have Calendar, App Store, Word, Messenger, Notes, Safari, and Photos running without any stuttering. Next, I downloaded iMovie and edited and exported a 4k video within the app . I understand that Macs and Mac software are optimized to work well together, but I was still quite surprised to see exactly how well this MacBook handled editing and exporting video This MacBook didn't only handle the editing with ease, but it actually seemed to export more quickly than my 2012 MacBoo Pro model did, which had a 2.9 i7 processor. The keyboard is definitely different from any keyboard I have used. I fell in love with it when I first played with it in store on a display model. I do not mind the shallow key travel as the clickiness of the keyboard makes typing on the machine a satisfying machine. I enjoy all MacBook keyboards, but I have already found out that I make fewer errors while typing on this MacBook's keyboard. I have always loved MacBook's trackpads and this one is my favorite. Clicking the trackpad actually feels like a real click. The trackpad seems to be quicker and more responsive than the trackpads I have had on my other MacBook Pro models and the size has increased for a more fluid experience. In sum, this MacBook initially won me over by its small, sleek, well-put together appearance, but kept me loving it once I experienced its surprising power, its beautiful screen, accurate and pleasing keyboard, and the quick and easy to use track pad. So far, this MacBook is everything I dreamed it would be (beautiful screen, extremely portable, fun to type on, and capable of handling every day tasks) and then some (editing video with ease using iMovie and beautiful performance with multitasking). I would definitely recommend this computer to anyone looking for a small and light computer that is also very capable. I do not do heavy movie editing, so a heavy user, or even a user not using software optimized for a Mac, would likely want to buy a Pro model MacBook to handle more intensive needs. However, for what I do, this computer is handling everything I need quite beautifully and I keep finding things to love about it when I feared I would feel the opposite.

Ultra Portable
||Posted .This is not the fastest or most powerful laptop you can buy, not by far. If that's what you want and you want a Mac, a 15" MacBook Pro is more your style. It's also not the cheapest laptop you can buy, and not even the cheapest Mac laptop. If that's what you want, look at the MacBook Air. So who is the 12" MacBook for? - You travel regularly or often work on the go. The 12" fits on an airplane tray table, even in coach, and the battery life is excellent when you're not near a power outlet. - You commute on foot, bike, or public transportation and carry your laptop on your back or shoulder. It's ridiculously lightweight and won't cause strain. It's only slightly bigger and heavier than the normal size iPad. - You have typical computing needs: web, email, social media, typical documents and spreadsheets, light photo and video editing (meaning that you view and edit photos and videos for yourself and your friends/family; you're not editing the next Hollywood blockbuster). For the tasks that 95% of people use a computer for, this laptop is perfectly capable. - You care about style. I lost count of the number of compliments I've received about this computer. - Your budget affords an upgrade over the MacBook Air but you don't have the money and/or the computing need for a MacBook Pro. - You don't use a lot of external accessories. There is only one port (other than headphones) and it is USB-C. It's the same port that is used for charging, so if you work plugged in at a desk and need to also plug in an accessory or two, you're going to be swapping cords or you will need to buy a USB-C dock. If you still use USB-A (the old style of USB that's been around for 20+ years) accessories like thumb drives, you'll want to at least get an inexpensive USB-C to USB-A adapter. With pretty much everything going wireless and using the cloud for file access, I personally don't have a need to plug in anything but the power cord. If you do, the one port might be the achilles heel of this laptop.

Perfect for College Kids
||Posted .To start off I would like to say that I love apple products so choosing an Apple Computer for college was a no brainer. I bought my MacBook with the sole purpose of using it for school so I wouldn't really be able to speak about any specific details that are internal. However, I will say that performance wise it is amazing. It rapidly loads web pages without a hiccup. If you are a college kid, this is the computer for you! The Retina display is absolutely beautiful. When I was deciding between getting a MacBook, MacBook Air or the MacBook Pro, the Retina display was what ultimately convinced me to get the MacBook. It's so crisp and breathtaking. Another deciding factor for me was the weight. Typically laptops are quite heavy but not the MacBook. It's so light and convenient. Sometimes, I just throw it into my backpack and throughout the day, I don't even realize that I'm carrying it around. One thing to note is that the keys on the keyboard are FLAT. I'm not sure if they seem weird to me because throughout my high school years all I used were desktop keyboards but eventually I got used to the keys. However, the lighting setting for the keys makes up for it. As a college kid studying into the night having the ability to adjust the light on the keys is convenient. Something else to note is the one USB-C port. Thankfully, I have not had the need of all the addition ports but it frustrates me to know that if I even do need it I will have to buy an adaptor for it. An adaptor that, may I add, is not cheap. To finish, I am really happy with the product I paid for. It was expensive but it met my expectations of being fast, clear and light.

Q: QuestionSpecs say the processor is only 1.2GHz speed. That seems slow by today's standards (2-3G). I this fast enough for most work - doc editing, watching videos, casual games?
Asked by geekster.
- A:Answer Yes! Even though 1.2 GHz seems slow this computer's performance is superb. Not only do I run lots of programs at once but I do video editing on Adobe Premiere Pro without a problem. The 1.2 GHz allows the computer to run fanless which is amazing.

- A:Answer Definitely faster but not noticeable; unless you have both models next to you. And the keyboard this year is more raised; which I prefer. Last year model feels like typing on a pizza box.

Q: QuestionProcessor wise, is the intel core m3 a good one? It would be used mostly for school and surfing the web. This would be my first MacBook.
Asked by newtomac.
This question was asked about the related product: Apple - Macbook® - 12" Display - Intel Core M3 - 8GB Memory - 256GB Flash Storage - Gold
- A:Answer I am able to use this great MacBook for writing papers, reading my emails, surfing the web and photo editing. I definitely think that the M3 is quicker than its predecessor. There has been no lag and you can multitask easily. If you decide to buy it from Best Buy there are student discounts available and you should ask them to price match for you, I saved $100. This MacBook is also portable enough to carry anywhere. Enjoy!

Q: QuestionI’m writing my thesis and will be doing a LOT of typing, as such. Is this laptop good for writing? Screen-size and keyboard? It will be my first MacBook. Thank you!
Asked by GradStudent.
This question was asked about the related product: Apple - Macbook® - 12" Display - Intel Core M3 - 8GB Memory - 256GB Flash Storage - Rose Gold
- A:Answer I have both the latest MacBook 12 and also the latest Pro. I would have to say that if typing is the number 1 feature, the keyboard on the pro is just spaced ever-so-slightly further apart and offers a more error-free typing experience for ME. You have to go into a store and just type on them to get a good feel. Having said that, I LOVE the fact that the so-much-smaller-and-lighter 12 is INCREDIBLY easy to carry around EVERYWHERE and GETS THE JOB DONE. Both have the Retina display which, for anyone whose eyes get fatigued by staring at computer screens (you said you were writing your thesis, right???) then make sure you get the retina screen. Otherwise the AIR Is a fantastic option if you can live without the retina screen but the keyboard on the pro still rocks. My quasi-daughter-in-law is a contract editor and hits the deadlines with her MacBook 12. Hope that helps.

Q: QuestionDo the apple laptops come with the Microsoft word, powerpoint, excel, (etc.)?
Asked by Dinger.
- A:Answer No you have to buy that separate for Mac. Or if you are a college student they typically are able to download the programs from their college for free with their student ID.
