Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the MacBook 12" Retina Display's incredibly light weight and portability, praising its compact size and beautiful Retina display. 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.

    So far so good! The only thing that I was upset about was the color. I’m assuming they changed the shade of gold because its a little more rose-gold but I still prefer that color over silver/grey.

    Mac is always the best choice to go. I had my last Mac for 11 years, and if it wasnt bc battery wasnt getting enough time, I would have not updated. I love this laptop.

    Got this macbook last year when it was 500 dollars off student deal. Still works flawlessly. This macbook does heat up quick though so make sure to keep it on a cool surface.

    Bought this for my son for school and he loves it! Perfect amount of power and memory for his kind of use (he's in 7th grade). Reccommend.

    It’s a little slow compared to the other I5 processor but still a excellent buy for the money. I bought it for my girl she loves it and she has the office package works great for her...

    Mac is just always worth it. I had bought a Dell laptop and returned it ASAP. I ended up investing a little more money and bought the MacBook. NO REGRETS! Quality won this round.

    Happy with the product just wish we would have known that it was being discontinued 2 days after the purchase, we might have decided to get a different one like the MacBook Air

    It’s a really good laptop in most respects. But it will allow only one email address and I had a bit of a learning curve with the installed mouse, because I expected to have to tap it but I learned that I have to put my finger on it and press it instead. I went to Best Buy’s geek squad and they were absolutely NO help at all! The girl was even rude!

    My daughter wanted a MacBook for college. She saved the money and got a great deal on one of Best Buy's Flash Sales. She seems to be very pleased with it. So far so good.
