First MacBook
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.I switched to this MacBook Air from a surface laptop. This computer is so much better because the keyboard isn’t made from cloth for one, further the keys feel amazing when typing on. The trackpad on this MacBook is the best I’ve ever touched because it’s a lot smoother and responsive than any laptop I touched before. Also if you click down it’s a lot quieter than most laptops. The operating system is very efficient since you can text off it, FaceTime, and take phone calls. If you are a student or someone looking to complete online work then this computer will be perfect for you. Also the screen quality on this MacBook is exquisite.

Must have!
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I have always been a PC person. Always. But I am an iPhone user and thought “why not?” I am loving this machine and it’s portability. The weight is minimal and I found a great case, so I can take it anywhere. The charge lasts a while for me. I had a hard time setting it up at first. Switching everything over was hard, I was afraid of losing all my passwords for internet accounts. After the first day, it was better. There is a learning curve if you’ve never used one, but TOTALLY worth it.

Great Birthday Gift!
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I purchased this MacBook as a gift for myself for my birthday this year. I fell in love with it after using it everyday. Once you learn the in and out functions you’ll be so happy you purchased it. I’m happy I no longer have to pay for Microsoft office. I also work for Apple so I’m learning the perks of my devices pretty well. Being able so send things to my laptop and desktop from my phone has made my like 1,000 times easier!

Amazing!
|Posted .First of all, this laptop is GORGEOUS. I was nervous at first with it being really small since I have a 16 inch PC but honestly it’s the perfect size. Set up was easy, getting used to it will take a fews days though. Everything works perfect, I didn’t notice it heats up really fast though.. not sure if that’s a good thing or bad but I’ll keep checking on it. Definitely recommend!

Apple is the best hands down
|Posted .Owned for 5 months when reviewed.I’m not sure what I can say about this computer that everyone doesn’t already know but Apple truly is the best when it comes to electronics in my opinion. This laptop is crazy thin and crazy light weight.I bought this computer for my wife so she could finish her degree and she absolutely loves this device.

The Best!
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Gorgeous build quality, top of the line laptop. I tried a windows laptop and a chromebook before springing for this, but nothing compares to the mac OS. Having been a mac desktop user for 32 years, you can't really switch. Trackpad was surprisingly easy to adapt to, but I still got a Logitech M355 bluetooth mouse which works great with the macbook.

Best laptop I’ve owned
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I bought this for school . My other laptop decided it Didn’t want to work anymore. I love that this one has finger print I.d.! I’m still getting used to learning the differences in Apple . My other laptop was an HP. My only issue is scrolling Dow having to use the down button.. might have to invest in a mouse.

Love my new MacBook Air!
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I love my new MacBook Air, and the Rose Gold is so pretty! My old MacBook Pro was from 2012, and had started to run slow, so I made the choice to upgrade to a new device. The MacBook Air is much lighter, and it is so fast. I ordered online, and it was delivered safely in just a few days. I've had it about a month now, and I'm well pleased. It was so easy to set up that I was up and running in a matter of minutes. Some people shy away from Mac products thinking that they are too expensive, however my previous MacBook Pro was 8 years old before I replaced it with this Air, so I feel that in then long run, these products are cost efficient. I never had a PC to last half that long without issues.

Q: QuestionWhat’s the difference between the air 13 i3 and i5
Asked by Glynne.
This question was asked about the related product: Apple - MacBook Air 13.3" Laptop with Touch ID - Intel Core i3 - 8GB Memory - 256GB Solid State Drive - Silver- A:Answer "Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an Intel or AMD processor." Basically the higher the processor "number", the more complex, higher number of programs (at the same time), and higher speed of (programs) you can run.

Q: QuestionDoes this have a student discount?
Asked by Ryan.
- A:Answer Let me tell you something. Apple does have a 100 student discount with valid .edu email address, but only on their website. However, if you can wait a few weeks until July 11, do it, That’s the Back to School deal where you get free beats studio 3 upon purchase of a Mac, or Beats solo for iPad Pro. That really is the best deal you can get. $900 MacBook (or less) with Free Beats.
