    This is a great laptop. It is compact and lightweight but not too too small and I like having the USB attachment available. The computer works great and even went on sale a few days after purchasing it and Best Buy gave me some money back! It took me 5 years to finally buy a new computer after having a Dell in the past and this Macbook has definitely convinced me to continue buying Apple products.

    I purchased this for my 14 year old son. It's the perfect weight, size and amount of memory. He uses it for homework and music and video production. He says the graphics are great and the picture is very clear. 2 thumbs up!

    For the price of a ordinary Windows laptop of the same configurations (Intel i5, 4Gb memory and 128 Gb SSD) you buy the finest piece of technology from Apple. OS X is unbelievable easy to use and much powerful than windows.

    This is a great laptop. It is fast, the battery last all day, it charges fast, about an hour, a little over and you have a full charge that last 10+ hours. Amazing display. And the great reliability of an Apple product.

    The MacBook Air is a great laptop. I purchased it for medical school and it allows me to do all of my daily activities, not to mention it's so light and doesn't make me tired of carrying it everywhere by the end of the day.

    The price is right for buying a Mac and everything works flawlessly when operating just a few windows. I don't use it for anything heavy, just email, microsoft office and internet browsing. Looks good and travels well!

    Wasn't sure if I was going to like the iOS system on my laptop. I took a chance and it defiantly paid off. My MacBook Air is way better than my laptop (which I gave away because the MacBook Air is lighter and faster)!

    BEST MAC

    it's really fast and runs super cool compared to other MacBooks. Data transfer's insanely fast and programs install in seconds. On the outside case there's nothing different compared to the 2014 MacBook Pro's but these do come with faster SSDs and the new Intel 5th Generation CPUs which are probably the reason it runs so much cooler I'm guessing. They also have the new haptic feedback trackpads which are snazzy to say the least....I have not explored the full capabilities of it yet. I'm giving this one 4 stars because I bought this MacBook for audio production / Ableton but straight out of the box the latency is more than double what it is on my old MacBook Pro 2011 which is a major problem if your producing without an external audio device on the go.

    I've owned many different Mac laptops but this is by far the best. Lightweight and perfect for taking to school. Previously owned a MacBook Pro but sold it to pick up this one instead. Couldn't be happier with my decision

    Walked into Best Buy not knowing what kind of laptop to buy and a Team Member helped and was very informative. This computer has been awesome so far. The laptop keeps up with my busy schedule and battery life is super.

    Best features are portability & "cool" factor

    I wavered between the "Air" and the more expensive and robust "Pro" versions, but for my teen daughter, I opted for the "Air" simply because she doesn't need any more processing power (I think anyway) and the lighter weight of the "Air" will be more suitable in her backpack or laptop bag for school. She is delighted she has a MacBook for its "cool" factor among her peers -- sadly that's her most important criterion. Anyway, she's absolutely thrilled with it, couldn't care less about the "Pro" version.

    My son absolutely loves his new computer. It is lightweight, sleek, and pretty easy to figure out. He has been a Windows user, so It has been a little adjustment, but he is catching on fairly quickly. We love Apple!!

    I was nervous that the specs on this MacBook would be weak but it performs great. Even with a huge load on it, it does well. The battery lasts a long time and glad they finally put SD card readers on the Air models.

    This is my 4th Mac. As always I love the way it is built and designed. Extremely light making it easy to carry around. The only downside is the fact that it does not have Retina display. But overall its a great laptop.
