Customers are saying

    My wife loves the mac. Dissapointing in the sense that there are really no improvements on this thing for years now. But it does work well.

    Works as expected. First time Mac users and pleased with overall experience but more apps to bring closer to mobile experience will be great.

    Nothing beats a MacBook when it comes to laptops. Yes, it costs a little more than other laptops but it’s worth it. I think the phrase “you get what you pay for” applies these days more than ever given all the short cuts manufactures do these days.

    The computer is very light and I really like that because I am not the kind of person who likes carrying heavy things! It is pretty cool!

    Good if you can tolerate the screen resolution

    This was my first apple product and I came away impressed. The build quality was great. The software was good. The only problem I had was with the screen resolution. It was hard to get used to such a low resolution screen when I spend most of my day looking at 1080P+ phone screen and a 4k tv screen. I ended up upgrading to a 13 inch macbook pro. I definitely think the macbook air is worth the money if you just need a solid laptop that is going to last you for years. These things definitely feel like they are built to last.

    Before Macs I have bought my wife several PCs she would always be happy for maybe a month and then hate it. Mac has been over a year and she still loves it. Before you think I'm a Mac fan boy, I am a gamer and love my gaming PC but if you are looking for a nongaming platform I would say look no further.

    Finally purchased a MAC. I compared this item to the iPad AIR 9.7" more so than any other PC on the market. I must admit that i am biting the bullet on the RAM. I may have been mislead when told MAC has a 2.7 - 1 ratio when comparing RAM to a PC. I also lost the beautiful retina screen that came with the IPAD pro. If the MAC last as long as the man who mislead me about the RAM said it would approx. 8 years, then i will be satisfied.

    I wanted something small with built in security. I was familiar with Apple smart phones and the approach is the same. I am having fun with it as my XP was grossly outdated and no longer supported. I am happy with this purchase.

    My motherinlaw became bedridden with cancer. She loved being able to check her email and search the Internet from bed and not have to get up and sit at her desk. It boots really quick and the hard drive held all of her data so there was no compromise. Great purchase. Would definitely recommend.

    It will meet my needs but find the print too small. On my IPAD I can enlarge things I need to see. Should have this ability on this macbook. I think I should have gotten the pro.

    I love my new MacBook Air. I was scared not buying HP and having difficulty navigating around an apple but live it. It sinc's with my iPhone and printer! I also purchased office so everything looks the same. Geek squad is awesome and help me trouble shoot anything I don't know.

    A bit on the old side but even then still out performs the new current macbook 12. Screen isnt so great but it is powerful.

    This laptop has the right combination for price and specs for a middle school student. They don't need much hard drive space since most of their work is in the cloud (ie Google Docs). They don't need much processing power because it is used mainly for web surfing, YouTube, etc.

    This macbook is amazing. I bought an open box unit and it was like brand new, other than I had to buy a power cord. This is my first macbook purchase. I do like it even though it is not a touchscreen. The display is extremely clear and it is fast to boot up.
