|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.FeaturesQualityValueEase of UseSo far I don’t really like it just because I can’t use it. I am trying to figure out how it runs? It says to chose a certain “icon” for directions but it won’t let me chose it? It could be me doing something wrong and this computer is way to advanced for me. I am considering taking classes with a friend very soon. I’m really hoping it’s me! My niece & daughter really like their Mac Computer’s. One has the Mac the other has the air and both are very satisfied therefore I’m sure it’s my lack of computer skills.

Awesome computer!
|Posted .FeaturesQualityValueEase of UsePros mentioned:LightweightI bought this computer to use for college and it is perfect. It is fast, the battery lasts for a while, and is light as air. The speakers are great. The only bummer is you have to buy a separate plug in for flash drives and other things, but it is not a dealbreaker. Overall an excellent computer!

Good Mac Except the Fan + Fingerprint scanner
Good Mac Except the Fan + Fingerprint scanner
|Posted .Pros mentioned:PriceEarly this year, I brought it in my local Best Buy store. I used their Price Match program and got a great deal. Thanks Best Buy. They had the grey version in stock. That's fine because I covered it with a unique Macbook skin. The cooling fan cause problem when editing video. It produces noise. The fingerprint scanner is awful. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't recognize my fingerprints. You will be wasting your time using this security feature. I disabled it because it is unreliable. It is faster to key in your password. I upgraded to MacBook Air from a Macbook 12. I upgraded it even though the MacBook 12 retina display is better than the MacBook Air. Plus the MacBook 12 is more portable than the MacBook Air. However, the new MacBook Air has 2 USB-C ports. It helps.

Asked by Antonino
- Best answer: I have the one with 8 GB of memory.
Answered by Pizarron
Asked by Kath
- Best answer: Yes, I would suggest getting the 512GB or 1TB SSD. But, that route is very expensive so you might want to go 256GB and purchase a external drive to store you movies and songs on. It's up to you the path you want to take.
