    Bought for my daughter who likes the small size. Had purchased a MacBook Air 13” at this price 2 years ago, but those never came close this school season. Main complaint is I needed to buy an adapter to use a USB drive.

    This replaced a MacBook Pro I had for about 9 years. Still worked but was getting a little slow for me. This computer is so much faster and I'm liking it. Very bright and clear screen.

    I have 2 macbook pros (1 at home, another at work) and needed to get a new laptop for my kids to use for school. After much debate, I decided the MacBook was the best option, especially after seeing all the issues my colleagues have with their windows computers. I love the size of this one. So much easier for me to take in my bag when I don't feel like using my backpack.

    Not too bad a computer for being so small and lightweight. Able to go with me wherever I need it. Main downsides which I really should have realized BEFORE I purchased this for college- no way to connect a USB. I know there is a lot of transition to “the cloud” but there are some things that you just need a thumb drive for or to be able to Sync your phone on iTunes. Otherwise - I placed the order for pick up at my local Best Buy and it was ready as promised. The pick up process was easy and they even gave me a free pen, coozie, and a cold bottle of water!!! How nice is that!? Hey - they got my business for my phone cases that I needed instead of buying through Amazon!
