    This is an awesome little travel notebook, small but unlike other notebook you don't sacrifice performance.

    I have iPhone 6s,iPad, Apple TV and now MacBook Air. I bought it last week from Best Buy. Impeccable quality and design. Very easy to use. Best Buy rep. In computer dept. were great. I bought my last computer Sony from Best Buy too. I highly recommend Mac Air. Nothing can come even close to it. Well done Jon Apple.

    Purchased this MacBook for school. Being the basic model I didn't have high expectations, but this computer is great. Lightweight, 2 USB ports, and it's fast. There is no cd drive which is unfortunate but something I can adapt to.

    As far as computers go, yes I'm totally in the tank for Mac. That being said this is the perfect computer for school. It light, fast and will give you zero problems. If your new to Mac this laptop will show how awesome Mac is.

    Perfect Laptop for a Mobile Office

    My office is everywhere I go. The MacBook Air is exactly what I need in a computer. It's fast, secure, long battery life, and simple to comprehend for someone like myself who is a little technologically slow. The only reason why I did not give it 5 stars is that I wish the border around the screen wasn't there. It makes an already smaller screen seem smaller.

    I love my new MacBook Air! If the 13" inch would've been on sale, I probably would've gotten the bigger screen but otherwise, I love it. I was always torn between an iPad and a Macbook and I'm so glad I made this decision, it's perfect for basic things like emails, Facebook, messaging...I love it!

    Bought this for my girlfriend, I personally have a 2011 MacBook Pro which I upgraded with 16gb of ram and a 500gb SSD. This air is perfect for her, very thin but has a great weight to it. Awesome touch commands make you more productive and apps are easy to use. The flash memory was the reason I bought this over a Windows because boot time and save/accessing files is so much faster. Good luck to you if you try installing an SSD on your Windows computer without having to do a fresh install. Time Machine is king.

    I have the 13in model. My mom has an old laptop so when I saw this 11in model on super sale last week I offered her my 13in air for a discount and she agreed (I've had it for a couple months and only used it twice because I've been busying studying for some tests and wanted to break it in after I'm done, which is finally coming up). My mom got the zeus virus on her windows laptop today. Talk about perfect timing for a replacement laptop, lol. I will never again use a windows device outside of business needs. I have a chromebook for the basics and use apple products for everything else. Great devices!

    My daughter has this for college. The high school that she went to issued these to all the students to use in their senior year and she really liked how easy it was to use...so we got one for her for college. She loves it. I would recommend this to any student.

    Works for exactly what I need

    I bought this certified open-box, it's in perfect condition and works fine. I use iMovie for editing recorded church services that are up to 2 hours long and have had no issues. The battery can last 10 hours on standby, but only lasts about 2 hours if used consistently, so watch out for that if using it on the go.
