Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Design, Lightweight, PriceSo glade I traded in my 2015 MacBook Pro for this laptop. I been an Apple fan and all I ever owned were MacBook Pro's. Till I switched over. LOVE the grey color, it's very light to carry compared to the MacBook Pro, love the finger ID code to unlock everything/passwords, it's newly updated and very easy to navigate/use per the 2015 Pro that I had. The newer laptops work the same as an 8/8+ apple iPhone. I just REALLY like how updated everything is. The 2015 year was very old school and very hard to use anything.. I was completely clueless, highly recommend!!! Best Tip: If you have any electronics to trade it rather if it’s non Apple or Apple products, I suggest doing so. It will help bring the cost down.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:PriceLove Love Love my MacBook Air. So glad I made the decision to get it over a MacBook Pro. It’s perfect for my needs and the price was fantastic. A Pro would have been too much more computer than I needed and a bigger expense. Also I bought an open-box model and have had absolutely no issues with it. Set-up is easy and fast. I use it all the time to work from home; handle email and make Zoom Meetings. This model has the larger keyboard and mousepad.

Q: QuestionIf I bring my current laptop in will Best Buy transfer my information to the new computer? Is there a charge for that?
Asked by lilDebbie.
- A:Answer I don't know for certain if Best Buy will transfer or it not, but the Mac comes with a Migrant Assistant that will move your files and settings from one computer (Mac or Windows) to your new Mac. How long it takes depends on how many files and programs you have on your computer, but it does seem to take quite a while. Nonetheless, once it's done, your computer is practically the same as your old one.
