Customer Ratings & Reviews

Apple hit the nail on the head with this laptop. It's sleek and works so well for ultra portability. Sure there are some downsides with any new product, but I'm so happy I bought this.

I went in to Best Buy to buy a low cost laptop. After playing around with several other laptops i came across this beauty and had to go for it. I got an open box modle and saved couple hundred dollars. sure it way way over what i wanted to spend but I dont have any regrets. Its fast, the graphics are great, the sound is great. I gave it 4 stars because of the price but other than that Its the best hands down.

Upgraded from a 2009 MacBook. Might not be the fastest but fast enough for what I use it for and best of all less than half the weight.

The MacBook is amazing. Super compact, super fast.

So far done everything I wanted. The lack of ports has not been as much of a hassle as I expected. Only downside is buying less expensive after market parts like power cords as only Apple brand is available.

Light and very portable. Gets a little warm underneath. Its nothing to worry too much about. Still acts as a great laptop.

I love my new laptop it is very light weight to carry around.

This MacBook is so light you may not know you have it in your bag!!

I went back and forth over wether I should buy the MacBook or not. I have always owned MacBook Pros in the past and even though the size has gone down I still wanted something a little more portable. I initially wanted the MacBook Air, however, once you have experienced the Retina display it is very hard to go back. So as a result I opted for the MacBook. I still have my MacBook Pro at home. However, for basic computing the MacBook is sufficient. I use it VPN into my computer at work and to remotely connect to my MacBook Pro at home. For my general use and traveling this device does not disappoint. Glad I purchased this over the Air.

This is an amazingly thin and light laptop. And it feels really nice to use. Like most Apple products, it is well polished and well built. The reviews around the net are all consistent with pros and cons and for the most part I agree. I actually like the feel of the keyboard despite the short key travel. The screen is really crisp and nice. I love the touchpad and gestures. The speakers are amazingly loud and clear for such a small device. This is a great feature when watching videos with my family - other small laptops aren't always loud enough. I love USB C. I can think of only 2 cons. One, it does feel a tad slow. Not horribly slow, just a little less than super fast. Secondly, I don't not enjoy MacOS as much as Windows or Chrome. But that is a personal preference.

This is the first Apple product among many that had an out of box failure. The keyboard did not work sporadically. After deciding that it was a problem we returned it to Best Buy. The Geek Squad confirmed our analysis and replaced the machine without question. The laptop is amazingly small and light. Perfect for my son who is off to college in the Fall.

My Macbook is very impressive. The keypad is comfortable for typing. The placement of the speaker is ideal for when I have my laptop in my lap and am watching a video because the sound is not muffled by my legs or a blanket. The display and graphics are amazing quality and show sharp detail. Downloads and updates are quick and easy. When I shut down my laptop and power it back up again it is so fast it seems almost as if it was only asleep! The lightweight of my Macbook is perfect for carrying it to and from classes. I would highly recommend this laptop to anyone as long as they are willing spend that much money.

I've had a MacBook Pro for almost 5 years and decided to give it an upgrade. I purchased the new MacBook slate and I love the fact that it's small, lightweight and powerful.

Was told too slow for VM but proved wrong. No lag running office desktop apps under Win10/Pro.

It's like the supermodel of notebook computers! The only thing that will take getting used to is no USB ports, though I think it's more of a mental thing since I haven't found myself actually needing one yet!

This computer works great and is so light and easy to travel with. Battery last so long

I have a number of laptops I use weekly, and this is by far the best. Small, light, great keyboard response, vivid display, etc.

I found that my 3yr old IPad is now so slow so decided to go with a small Macbook and I'm very happy I did, i travel so this allows me to have the smaller Mac at home and the MacPro on the road with me. They both sync so both have the info I need.

Good computer, great screen ,size is easy to carry

The new MacBook is awesome. Very thin and compact.
