Many appreciate its performance and long battery life, finding it a great value for the price. However, a significant drawback cited by customers is the lack of USB ports.

    I took advantage of the discounted price for students and am so glad that I did. Being a full-time student and mom, this MacBook works great for all my needs (professional and personal).

    Replaced a macbook pro from 2011 that finally quit working. Hopefully, this will serve me just as well. At this point, it works as expected. However, the older model felt a bit sturdier. I guess time will tell if this will hold up.

    Excellent quality built product from Apple. Wish they would have updated it instead of discontinuing it though. Maybe some day they will with an M1 processor, looking forward to that.

    I bought this laptop for my college-bound grandson and it was a perfect fit! Good price for the Apple 12”. Perfect size, and had enough memory to fit his needs. Best Buy staff was very helpful and purchase/pickup was easy.

    We purchased each of our kids a 12" Macbook for school/personal-ish use, etc. Great price point now that they have been discontinued by Apple. The keyboard is the only drawback to the Macbook, but it wasn't a deal breaker.

    Great unit, first time I was able to buy one brand new. Can’t beat $700 for this item. A must buy if you need a dependable operating system. Great graphics and connects to all my devices At ease as expected.

    This is a good light basic computer to do word processing and internet browsing. It's not meant to be blazing or advanced, and it is good at what it is meant for.

    We kind of freaked out when we noticed there was no USB slot but an Apple Magic Mouse hooked up without needing one. Perhaps the MacBook Pro or Air may be better but this works well for simple operation

    I have always heard great things about Macbooks, so I decided it was time to give it a try. I haven’t had any problems as of now I’m switching from Microsoft, so this transition is definitely major for me.

    I tend to upgrade MacBooks every two-three years, and they just keep getting better! Love this one the most so far. The new track pad is simple, just like a regular mouse, but using you fingers. Love it!
