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.

    It was a good deal, but for a bit more one can get the new MacBook Air. That is why I decided to exchange it.

    I've had the keyboard replaced twice since I got it a year ad a half ago. After a while all the keys, especially the spacebar, start sticking. Just had the keyboard battery and charging port replaced. Third service in 18 mos. Very attractive and light as a feather. but nothing but trouble with it since the day I got it. Thank goodness I got the extended warranty.

    I have had some issues with this computer being unusually challenging. I work with a Mac Notebook at my place of work so I thought I would really like it but it’s not nearly as user friendly.

    It's really pretty awesome

    There are many critics that are super critical of the Macbook 12 inch saying it doesn't belong? I believe it's a great device. Reasons to choose this over a MacBook Pro with Touchbar It's considerably cheaper, 256 GB storage by default better battery life Smaller footprint, easier to carry/travel with. It's not nearly as powerful as the MBP but it's certainly not slow either, I edited a 3-minute video with this thing in iMovie and it had no problem at all exporting it in 1080p. Great for web development too! The major con I see to this device is only having one USB-C port, I don't understand why they didn't include at least two. It's not a deal breaker, just a hassle at times. Otherwise, this is a great machine.
