    I absolutely love this laptop. Very sleek and lightweight. I can carry it anywhere without worrying about it being too heavy. Perfect for school. The sales girl was super helpful when helping me choose a laptop and I'm really glad I got this one!

    I bought this Mac Book Air for grad school and it has been nothing but spectacular. It has great battery life, runs all my note taking apps, and is easy to carry around. I would recommend it to any student looking for a solid laptop for school.

    For the money, you can beat the Macbook Air. It's light, fast, reliable and it's got great battery life. I use it for work and other light use. I have an iMac for any intense video work.

    This is my first MacBook and I am really enjoying it. I love that it is very lightweight. It's pretty easy to use coming from a windows laptop. I am also impressed by the screen size. I would definitely recommend it it's well worth the purchase.

    Until something entirely different than anything on the market now comes out or what the average person does with a computer 95% of the time changes a lot,The MacBook Air is just the best mixture of performance portability and reliability.

    The macbook pro is awesome. If you have an iPhone you have to get one of these. The way it syncs up all your apps is great. Its fast and easy to use. I would never go back to windows.

    Getting used to Apple but...

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

    My first apple computer. It is taking me a bit to get used to the differences between a pc and this macbook. There are some things I really like (ex. how it syncs almost seamless with my iPhones and iPads) and some not so good things (ex. file sorting in Finder isn't like Win Explorer...I like Win better). But the main thing that keeps this from being 5 stars for me is the 128GB SSD and 4GB RAM. It really is not enough, and there is no way to upgrade after the fact (which was explained incorrectly to me by the BB salesperson). 128GB SSD is enough for my programs, but that is it. I've had to figure out how to put my files elsewhere and still work with all my other apps. I'm SOL with my 1TB ONEDRIVE cloud service. The OneDrive folder has to be on the main drive and can't be put on an external hard drive, network drive, usb thumb drive, or SD card. I don't have enough room for the 200GB of photos, music, and videos I keep backed up on the cloud...so if I'm not connected to the internet, I don't have access to my files. Needless to say, it has made things much more difficult compared to my previous laptop. Also, I expected the laptop to be quicker with the SSD and reviews said the 4GB was enough. My experience is it isn't. Apps don't load any quicker than on my old Win7 laptop, and I see the drive, processor, and memory usage being quite high, quite often. To get the additional drive size and RAM would cost yet another $200+ for this already overpriced computer. For me, it isn't worth it, even though I'm getting used to OS X and kind of like it. Overall, I'm still pleased with the laptop. If you use a cloud/backup service that allows folders put on external drives, or you don't have a large music, photo, and video library that I have, this laptop will probably work out excellent for you.

    I was skeptical purchasing the MacBook because I was a PC user all my life. However the transition has been easy. I love the MacBook Air and it very light and has a long battery life.

    I was thinking of calling this, "Death to the PC" but that's a little morbid. Apple continues to innovate and develop products that are lighter, faster and more seamlessly integrated into daily life. This is the best laptop we've ever owned.

    Bought the MacBook for my daughter as an early Christmas gift. She loves it and will never use a PC again if she has a choice. Battery life is amazing and she loves the ease of use and the icloud storage for easy access. Great purchase!

    Super light, very fast. I recently did an upgrade from a 2005 MacBook and am very happy with the purchase. My only complaint is that it doesn't have nearly enough hard drive capacity as the base model from previous versions of Mac laptops!
