Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I am completely happy with my MacBook,and get around and able to look for info and anything else in between with not hardly a problem.I had two HP and first served quite well,until it was to old.And my second HP last 6 months and I had nothing but issues from day one on it,and not only that but HP is really bad about warranty,so when the computer completely locked up,I did research and inquieries on mac and got high reviews.I simply cannot stress enough how well I love my MacBook.Apple is truly the best so why pay less,when you can have the best.

Quality5 out of 5Value3 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Ended up returning this model. After reading several reviews, I thought that it would be adequate for my needs. It worked well for about 10 minutes before the processor became too hot and had to throttle. I’d highly suggest looking at a MacBook Pro before purchasing this 12” MacBook or the MacBook Air ( 2019 or earlier ).

Q: QuestionIs it worth to invest this amount of $ in a 2017 laptop model, or should I look into buying a current model? I am interested in this particular model because of the size, storage, and USB port -- currently a 2015 macbook air owner ><
Asked by AstaFurkikai.
- A:Answer Well,this is my first Macbook and I truly love it.I have had a dell terrible,and Hp one was good until it got old.My second HP was terrible it last 6 months.I dont work from home or anything like that but I pretty much have been on computer 20 years,and at first customer rep said I would find it some what different to get use to.But the minute I opened it I never had a problem I like it for the security,and Apple they make good quality electronics.I have IPhone,IPAd and now macbook,Honestly I will not ever go back to HP or Dell.Its truly your decision what you want and what you use a computer for.But I really love my macbook,the size fits neatly into my purse and I can take it anywhere.As far as buying it from best buy theey have helped me out greatly and always willing to answer a question and as far as the geek squad my first experince with them I give them 5 star.So I am retired and homemaker my main use is surfing the web,talking to family all around the country,shopping,doing picture editing.It suits all my needs for what I need.I hope it helped you out.
