I bought this MacBook Air for my 15 year old son, to replace the one he got 4 years ago. I offered to get him any laptop he thought best for his purposes (school work mostly), and he wanted the newest version of the exact same 11inch MacBook Air - he loves it, and it's been perfect for his high school work!

I had worked for about 2 years with just an iPad and a Bluetooth keyboard. Increasingly I found that limiting and went to this as well. While the screen isn't Retina, I often put it on the big TV via AirPlay when home so that doesn't matter much. Very fast and stable even when running some intensive apps (I do some statistics and graphing, but need a Mac for presentations.) I've had it about a month and am using it as my regular work machine. (I did keep the iPad for messing around in the kitchen.)

This is the same computer that my daughter was provided with in high school so she wanted one for college. This computer is compact and it fits well in her bag for easy carrying, yet it is big enough for getting the work done. She is very happy with it.

I am a recent MacBook user, but have been in the Apple family for awhile. I use my laptop for school and way too much Netflix, so I went for the 13" so I could see more without adding too much weight. I recommend going bigger than this one if you like to spread things out like I do.

Since I am my families IT support - I love Apple products - take them out of the box and hand them over to my daughters and RARELY have to deal with any problems. So far, this new macbook is living up to that reputation.

Small size and light weight make it easily portable. Charges fast. Despite the small size the key board is easy and comfortable to use. It is also quiet compared to other laptops. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Researched it a lot and watched the price for while. So far I am satisfied. Very light weight and portable. I LOVE the charger. It's kinda annoying how easily it detches sometimes but the again it's like hey, at least it's not bending and breaking right? Genius. Time to make that charger for the iPhone.

My laptop has been really great so far. The only downside is that I need to buy a portable CD drive but the small size of the laptop is worth it. Also, it's had wi-fi problems but so far I love it.

I use both Android and Apple and like them both. I particularly like the battery life in this model, and the touch pad is very responsive even with just a light touch.

My son uses his computer at his high school. He had the full size version before and it was bulky and heavy to lug around. This was a perfect gift.

We got this for my daughter to take to freshman year in college. It has been good for her and more than enough power for a creative writing major.
