    Excellent computer. Had no issues and it runs great. It is very light and portable. The display and sound are great. Very sad the computer has been discontinued by Apple. I will continue to enjoy using my device for many years to come.

    I bought this MacBook because it fits in my camera bag which I take when we travel. It works really well for my away computer, but I use my iMac when I am home in my office. I would have bought the newer model MacBook but it was two large for my bag and way too expensive configured to this computer's specs.

    Apple retired the 12" MacBook. Really wanted Rose Gold and found this retired Gold model still available on Best Buy's website. Surprised that the color is actually Rose Gold. Very happy!

    This small (12") laptop was bought to replace a larger (18") old unit. It is lightweight, and very thin, making it easy to transport.

    Ended up returning this model. After reading several reviews, I thought that it would be adequate for my needs. It worked well for about 10 minutes before the processor became too hot and had to throttle. I’d highly suggest looking at a MacBook Pro before purchasing this 12” MacBook or the MacBook Air ( 2019 or earlier ).

    I love this Macbook air. One thing i do not like is the USB-C. And i have to get an USB-adapter so i could use the other USBs. It's inconvenient.
