A:Answer I'm a freshman, and I got this laptop before heading to college. This laptop is unquestionably light, hence the label "MacBook Air". I downloaded Microsoft on it, and have been using Word and PowerPoint the most. I haven't had a problem, but one thing to consider is the size of the screen. Often, I have two windows pulled up, and shrinking the size of the windows to fit the laptop screen can make the text small. As for the ports, there is one on each side of the laptop.
