    The Macbook 12 might be the top tech of 2015, at first I was skeptic about its capabilities but now that I've used it, I find it extremely versatile and useful. The keyboard is super fast at typing because it doesn't have the long button travel like other keyboards do. Best Buy delivered and was super friendly with the customer service, highly recommended.

    This computer is an awesome light weight computer! It's great for college students that need something small enough for a backpack and light enough to carry around with them from class to class! The only con is no usb ports. But you can buy an extra piece for the computer to add usb space.

    Fast, elegant mini with connectivity compromises

    This 12" MacBook has a great feel, beautifully compact and light, with a full size keyboard. Retina display has outstanding resolution at its highest pixel capability. Solid state drive makes operations very fast, but the slower processor reduced speed a little, compared to my 4-yr old MacBook Pro. I bought this for travel because it's almost as small as an iPad, but much more capable than any tablet, yet I'm eager to use it at home instead of my 15" Pro. The ~256 GB storage in the base model is generous. The single usb-c port is a serious limitation, requiring multiple adapters to permit connection to usb, HDMI, VGA, and Ethernet, especially while still keeping the charger connected. The charger, alas, doesn't use the damage-protecting MagSafe connector common to all other MacBooks. The 11" MacBook Air might be a preferable choice at a lower price and more ports, but it's larger, has a lower resolution display, and comes with half the solid state storage in its base model. Thus, the 12" is a better compromise.

    Best laptop for me

    I prefer the Macbook Air gold to the iPad I was previously using because as a 57 year old woman I am used to touch typing on an actual keyboard rather than finger pushing on a screen. I am still learning the software of the new device but am enjoying it nonetheless. I can't figure out where the emojis have gone since they do not show up on the keyboard.

    Love the small size, great full size keyboard, and sharp Retina display. Solid state drive makes it quick, though not as quick as my 2012 MacBook Pro. Better choice than a tablet, because more flexible. Needs adapter cables for angle external port, but cheaper 3rd party cables work well.

    I recently purchased this MacBook after owning a MacBook Pro for 6 years. I love my new MacBook! It is lighter and has great battery life. The only con that I have noticed is that it only has a USB-C port. So I bought a adapter off of Amazon (a non-apple one), and that does the trick.

    I bought this product to take the place of my Ipad air and macbook air. It does the trick. For my needs I didn't need two devices and the macbook serves all my needs. Not sure about the battery life claim, but it charges very quickly so not a huge deal for me. I would recommend this product.

    I love it! So efficient, fits easily into bags and very light. While many are concerned about the no USB port, Apple offers a sub adapter that fits right into the charger port.
