    I love this MacBook Air. It is lightweight, works well and is very user friendly. Out of the box and ready to go. I carry it around the house with me and use it in the kitchen to follow recipes. Also have an iPad and iPhone so it's great to be able to go from on to aonther while messaging family and friends and moving around the house It also charges very quickly. Sorry I didn't get one sooner. No more heave laptops for me!

    Great Lightweight Laptop

    Awesome laptop! Lightweight and fast. Has great battery life when using video and music streaming services. Small size and thinness makes this computer very portable. The battery is just under all-day capacity. Even the base model is fast and responsive. The backlit keyboard is great for dark places where otherwise the keyboard would not work. Overall great product!

    Fast, light, and durable. I currently have a 13" Macbook Air, but wanted to buy one for my wife. She is extremely happy with it and stated she is never going back to PC again. I don't know what took her so long, but glad she can take advantage of having all of her contacts, calendars, messaging, notes, etc. live within all of her iOS devices.

    My first MacBook knocks it out of the park!

    I recently bought a MacBook Air and was blown away by the operating system and how simple the programs are to execute. The speed of the computer is amazing! I only wish I had not waited so long to buy the MacBook. From the moment I took it out of the box and turned the setup assistant on I was up and running. The battery life is great and recharges in a relative short period. The trackpad is large and the multi-touch gestures are simple to navigate through the pages and documents. The ease in syncing my iPad and iPhone versus my PC is incredibly quicker. The advanced features on the MacBook Air compared to my PC and desktop computer is light years ahead. Finally, I'll suggest a MacBook Air to anyone that is considering a new PC. The difference in price may seem significant but, the enhanced quality is well worth the price. Additionally , the appearance of the MacBook is astonishingly beautiful.

    I got this computer for my husband who travels a lot. It's the perfect size and weight to be carried around the airport all the time. He has never had a Mac before and has caught on very quickly. Definitely a user friendly computer! He loves it!

    I like the MacBookAir size, especially that it is so thin. I also like that it is powerful enough to allow full scale programs like Microsoft Office or PhotoShop Creative Suite. Sadly, my budget required I buy the computer that only has 128 gb of storage. Darn

    I Prefer this Version Over MacBook Air 2015

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    A few reasons why this MacBook Air is preferable over the newest (version 2015) FOR NOW: 1. It has many more ports than the 2015 version 2. There are many more accessories and peripherals that work with the ports on this unit than that of the 2015 version which includes only one USB Type-C (many customers have complained to Apple about this). 3. The price point for it now make it that much more appealing Of course, there are drawbacks, one of the most significant of which includes the fact that the pre-2015 MacBook Air laptops do NOT offer retina displays. Additionally, this version does not include the pressure sensitive trackpad (aka the new Taptic Engine) Apple's been touting as its latest innovation in its suite of products. Aside from that, though, I believe the iteration of the MacBook Air just before version 2015 is many ways superior primarily because of the ports you get and the price.

    Great Portable Laptop

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have an older 13" Macbook Pro which is fairly heavy and was looking for a laptop that I could take to class and the 11" Air is perfect. I was torn between the 13" Air, the 12" Macbook and this. I chose this because it was the most reasonably priced and had more ports than the new Macbook. I would've gotten the 13" but portability was higher on my priority list than screen size. The computer is fast enough for normal school work and battery life is very good. Very happy with this purchase, if you want a super portable computer get this!

    Small, Light, a Solid Laptop

    My wife needed a new laptop to replace her aging and half-working Dell. I've used apples for years and decided to go ahead and get my wife one. She does not play games, edit videos or photos, or really anything CPU or GPU intensive. This lightweight compact MacBook Air was perfect for her. The computer works perfectly. Set-up was a breeze and within minutes my wife was learning how to use OSX with ease. The price is a little much for the power you get, but battery life combined with the small size and solid construction make it worth the extra money. The only thing I was really disappointed with was screen resolution, it was lower than what I was expecting. Not that it was bad, I'm just used to a much higher resolution screen. My wife has not complained about it at all. As the main user, she loves it and has no complaints.

    Can't beat a Mac Book

    I was planning to replace my eight year old Mac Book, but was waiting for a "deal". While my husband was at the Geek Squad desk, I walked over to the Apple display. I was approached by Charlie who told me about the features the new Mac Book had. It was so much lighter and powerful than the old one I owned, I had to buy it. It was a great price and a great computer. It is very user friendly and was easy to set up.. I even received an email for the security program purchased and downloaded it. I love my new little Mac, wouldn't trade it for anything else.

    We are very happy with this computer. It is a smaller version of the Mac my wife has, and perfect for me. It doesn't have a disc drive (which my wife prefers), but I can easily connect one. It's lightweight, sleek, fast & just right.
