Apple - MacBook Air® - 13.3" Display - Intel Core i5 - 4GB Memory - 256GB Flash Storage - Silver

Excellent Laptop for a business man or anyone really.

Helped pick this out for my mom for christmas. She was looking to upgrade from her old computer. She loves how easy it was to start using and how light and portable it is. The battery life seemed to be significantly better than her last. Her only disappointment was the lack of CD-ROM but that seems to be a trend with new computers.

I just made the switch to a macbook after using Windows for many years. The battery life on this is AMAZING! I get about 12.5 hrs and can go almost all day using it before having to charge it again. The laptop turns on from "sleep mode" right as you lift up your screen and takes about 5 seconds from a "shutdown mode." It definitely did take some time to get used to though, but once I got used to everything I have been really enjoying it. The only thing I do miss is my big screen size (I prefer bigger screen sizes), but the 13.3" is sufficient for everyday use. The biggest thing I had to get used to though was the scrolling. You scroll down to go up like you would on an ipad/tablet. But the other features on the trackpad are really nice. I would definitely recommend this laptop, especially when Best Buy has their macbook sales (you could also get student coupons on macbooks every once in a while through their student program).

Super light. Has great battery life. Plenty of speed for anything I could want to do. I have always owned Windows computers before and takes getting used to the Apple OS. Easy to see why they are so popular and get good reviews by tech writers.

Went from a MacBook pro to the air and I couldn't be happier. Battery lasts longer, runs faster, way lighter and easier to haul around campus and take notes on

Lightweight, fast processor speed, large hard drive. sleek look--all of these are features which were important to me. I travel a lot as a professor, and wanted something that was powerful enough to handle my work, but lightweight enough to not weigh me down. This is the perfect combination of those factors.

Outstanding battery life - I regularly see 8+ hours away from an outlet, more if I'm not using the internet. Impressive performance given its power-saving CPU. 4 GB of RAM may seem meager compared to a lot of the PC competition but don't concern yourself: OS X manages RAM much more efficiently than Windows so this is not a con. The solid state drive will change your life if you have not used one before - incredibly responsive compared to the spinning platter hard drives we've all been using for the past 30 years. This is my second MBA - bought to replace my 2012 because I had some great coupons, my first Apple was a 2008 Macbook Pro 15". Excellent resale value, durability of the aluminum chassis, superior build quality, and outstanding battery life keep me recommending the MBA to anyone who asks - the new Lenovo Yoga 3 is the only machine that comes close in terms of quality and desirability, but I am still not ready to pay $1300 for an otherwise unremarkable Windows laptop.

I use my Mac primarily for surfing the web, responding to emails and some light "office work". It is very fast, has all the memory I need and seems very durable with the aluminum body. It is also very light which I LOVE! I wish I had broke up with Windows years ago and made the switch. There's been a bit of a learning curve going from Windows to Mac but it's nothing you can't handle and learn with Google! This Mac ROCKS!
