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.

    It's pretty great to stay organized, and it works at a good speed. I haven't owned it for very long, so I don't know what to say about the storage. But everything is running smoothly, and it has some really cool features. I had always heard that Macs weren't really for coding, but I got it anyways. Since I'm a beginner at coding, I don't really don't have much to say about it but it has Xcode which is helpful. I'm still figuring things out on here, but I tried to be as helpful as I could.

    This small MacBook has just the amount of memory and power I need. I am so glad I made this purchase, especially for the price. I purchased on sale in mid July and had the price further reduced with a subsequent $50 price match reduction. If you don’t need the processing power and/or features of a MacBook Pro or even a MacBook Air, this model is for you. My only wish is that it included a USB port, but that lack is resolved by purchase of a USB-C to USB external cable.

    This is a great laptop for a younger person that is in high school or graduating high school! It’s a MacBook Air that is priced fair enough for my son to use and have for college! Runs great no lagging and screen is amazing as usual!
