    I have an iMac desktop from 2010 that is outdated so I can't use it much anymore. When I saw the price for the MacBook, it was too good of a deal to pass up. The price was awesome and so is the laptop! Does everything I need it to do and is portable compared to my iMac!

    I got my sister this laptop for college and its light easy to use and intuitive. She enjoys it more than her last windows devices and finds it easier to navigate. A bit pricey but definitely worth it

    When I purchased this online I did not realize this was smaller than my previous computer. I love how lightweight and compact it is. I have not had any issues with this computer and I love the fact I have the latest software. I would buy this again.

    My wife has one of these. When I heard they were discontinuing this size in favor of the larger size, I decided to get one. While the larger screen is nice for these aging eyes, this size fits perfectly in my work folder and is big enough. Love it.

    I bought this for my daughter, for 8th grade graduation. It's the perfect size for her and should get her through high school (and beyond). Love Macs and this was a solid option for her.

    I purchased this laptop for my daughter who is starting college. She loves the laptop. The slim design allows it to fit easily into the computer sleeve of her backpack. As far as functionality, you can't go wrong with Apple.

    This was an exceptional price. I purchased this as a gift and the person will be receiving it the end of the month. As a Best Buy member with geek squad I received a discount on the Apple insurance as well. Great deal!

    I love this compute so far. The keyboard is super easy to use and is very easy to touch. This one is smaller though considering that it is 12 inches, but it was the perfect size for me honestly. Would totally recommend.

    If you want a "real" computer running MacOS and portability is your thing, this is it. Hardly bigger than an iPad, comfortable to use anywhere, and you can charge it with any old USB-C charger. Ultimately it wasn't the computer for me — the iPad Pro filled my portable needs better, but if you need a notebook computer and travel frequently, these are great — especially if you can get a deal on one.

    MacBook has made a great laptop for home and college. It’s light weight and easy to carry around when needed. It’s good not to have to worry about viruses all the time. Does the job I bought it for.

    This is an excellent computer especially for college students. However, it doesn’t contain a USB port and you have to buy adapters if you would like to save information on a device elsewhere.
