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.

    My wife was able to make the transition from a windows laptop to a Apple MacBook within a few days. It did not take her a long time to understand the interface of the MacBook. However, she needed to buy a usb hub that contains all the legacy port such as USB-A and SD Card so be aware if you’re new to MacBook.

    This Macbook was on sale and it had an open box model was marked down even more. I ordered it online and when it came in, it did look like a new unit. It had the original packaging and manuals. It works as it should and still features the full Apple warranty. Quick app handling and a smooth operating system.

    I took a big risk on buying a laptop offline, as this is my first "big girl" purchase. I have only had this laptop for four days and I am loving it so far. The screen and keyboard are smaller than what I'm used to, but I do love how compact this laptop is. Everything works perfect on it. I do recommend!!

    I love the thin, sleek look of this Macbook. I bought it “Open Boxed” at a discount price & it looks like it has not even been touched.

    Great product. Nice size, excellent quality. Only downside is that it only has a USB-C port and a plug for earphones. Because of that I need to purchase a USB-C to USB adapter. Other than that, it’s a typical, good Apple product.

    Too bad Apple has decided to discontinue the MacBook. It really is a great travel computer running MacOS. It’s only 2lbs and ultra thin. Glad I got one at a great price from BestBuy. The keyboard takes a little getting used to because of the short travel keys but not a deal killer for me.

    Great purchase for my daughter going away to college. Nice color, size and pretty cool features. The "Student Deals" offer slashed the price by $300 but took off another $150. That, along with a gift card from a few trade in items got us this computer for half the regular price. Awesome!

    My wife hates computers. Probably because she has used nothing but windows in the past. This laptop is speedy and, once I showed her how to use the trackpad properly, she has become a whiz! Great performance, amazingly fast storage with a ton of capacity, this is the one to get!
