    I love the size of this MacBook, extremely light and portable, built well. My wife loves the gold color (more like rose gold). My only issue is that it only includes a single thunderbolt 3 port. Wish it had at least two for better expandability in relation to using peripherals. Had to buy a USB hub just to even use another peripheral while charging the laptop.

    I got this laptop for college, hoping to have a small, but still functional laptop that was easy to transport and did not take up a lot of space. This is perfect for what I was wanting.

    It was time I upgrade my computer. This MacBook is super light, a great size (not too small, not too big), and if you keep an eye out for sales you can get it for an amazing price.

    Of course I love Apple products & this new one unlocks if I am wearing my Apple Watch! The autofill doesn't work as well as my 2015 MacBook & with the 2 finger swiping feature on the key board it is a little difficult to get to the side scroll bar but with practice it is getting easier. I didn't realize how much I used the side scroll bar until I got this new MacBook. Still gave it 5 stars because I do love the ease of MacBooks! The smaller size & lighter weight will make it great for traveling too!

    Nice update. More than 1 USB port finally. Super fast. That gold color though...not as subtle as I would have hoped. Otherwise, great if you can work on a 12” (‘Retina’) screen.

    I love this laptop, I got it for school and I’ve only had it for a month now but it does everything I need it too! It’s super thin and very light weight which is something I was looking for. The only issue I’ve had so far is with Safari, every time I open safari it freezes and I have to force quit. Luckily I usually use google chrome so I downloaded it after I got my laptop and haven’t had to use Safari.

    My daughter desperately needed a new computer and when I saw the price on this I couldn't pass it up. I knew it would be a great early Christmas gift for her and boy was it. She loves it, and when I asked her to give me a review she said it's fantastic. There isn't one thing I dislike about it and the color is even her favorite "Rose Gold". She started a blog and has been blogging for a few weeks now. Also, because I am a total tech support member, I was able to save $50.00 on an Apple Care Warranty for two years. It was a win win!

    I bought this product open-box and it's amazing! The cord hadn't even been unwrapped and I save $200! I was anxious to make the change from Windows to Apple and I'm so glad I did. It has so much more than I thought it did and it's already making life easier. The guys at Best Buy were super nice and when they didn't have the original open-box item I originally saw online, they took the initiative to look in the back. Not only did they have another Macbook that was open-box, but it was a newer model than the other one and only $30 more! Plus, the gold color is gorgeous. I really appreciated them looking for me as I really wanted to grab something open-box to fit my budget. I went back a few weeks later and copped myself an open-box Apple Watch Series 3 for $185! Perfect condition just like the Macbook!
