    I was in the market for laptops for my twins heading off to college. There were PC's rated for specific majors, mostly math based, i.e. engineering etc. but this computer had the highest rating for "the best overall computer for a college student......I bought two!

    This is my first time with a Mac anything other than a phone and a couple of pads. I found it pretty easy to get around and do most of the things I like to do with my Windows 7. I gave it a 4 because I would have liked to have Siri on it, as I do with the others.

    I love this laptop- bought it on sale so the price was better than elsewhere. Its still high compared to other brands but it is so light, easy to carry with me, very fast startup and easy to use! I love Macs and this is my favorite one so far!

    This laptop is fast, lite, reliable, and very easy to transport because it's so small. I've had no problems with it yet and I'm very happy with my purchase. The only thing bad for me is that it's pretty different from what I'm used to (Windows).

    I bought this laptop for size and weight for portability for travel. I didn't want to buy a dinky windows netbook, so I stuck with Apple products. I had to adjust to using a smaller screen, some screen colors seems a bit washed out looking, but I have no other issues with my purchase.
