    It's a very lightweight laptop. With 256GB is more than enough for a college student like me. Battery is great and excellent feel!

    I recently bought my Macbook Air before I started graduate school and I absolutely love it. I never owned a Mac before so I thought it would be hard to use at first, but it wasn't. The set-up is easy and if you ever need any help finding something or figuring it out the "help" button is ver useful. Great battery life. I can spend up to 3-4 days on my laptop before having to charge it. I would recommend this product to anyone. After having this computer, I don't think I could go back to using anything else again.

    Love! I've always been a PC person, but since I have an Apple phone I decided to make the switch. I'm very happy with it because it easily connects to my apple products. Everything is organized, fast, and easy to use. I transitioned from PC to MAC easier than I thought I would. Thin and light weight and battery lasts long.

    The image quality of the screen is great! I have never owned a MacBook before and absolutely love this compared to some of the older PC's I have owned. Definitely recommend this to anyone who wants fast processing along with easy navigation across multiple workspaces/windows.

    So I had noticed my wife wanting to use my Macbook Air on a few certain occasions and not so sure of what to do. So I gave it to her a couple of times to surf the net and she really liked it. Then Best Buy put these on sale and I had to do it! (even if it was 3 times the cost of her last computer) New processor and specs are on point and the lightness of the machine really make this hard to say no if you are getting into the apple ecosystem already. (iPhone, iPhoto, and iTunes)

    So far, so good. It is working great, it is very fast and light. It is good for a home computer, and basic work needs for me as a teacher. Battery life is doing really well so far. It did glitch on me once, but hasn't happened since so overall I recommend it.

    I spent 7 years lugging around a MacBook Pro that literally weight 10 pounds. I cannot believe it took my think long to switch to something so light. The battery life is pretty great (I was expecting it to last a little longer, but I use Photoshop and Illustrator a bit more now that I have a computer that can handle it) and I don't mind not having a retina screen. All in all so happy that I picked this up, and even happier I got 18 months like cash financing!

    The MacBook Air has been around for a few years with updates so it is a pretty well known commodity. It's design started a whole new type of copycat laptops, the ultrabooks. It is probably do for a redo soon but is still a great light weight, easily portable laptop for travel. Greatest strength is it's easy portability. It's biggest weakness is the limited number of ports and no optic drive. You may buy a USB hub and external CD drive as I did.

    I previously had the 11.6 inch model in an earlier version which I rarely used due to the screen size. My husband wanted to try a Mac and I wanted a larger screen, so it worked out perfectly. I passed my smaller MacBook to him and purchased the larger screen. I'm so happy that I did! I can see things better on the larger screen and it's still very lightweight and portable. In addition, I'm now upgraded to a newer version. It's a "win-win" situation!!

    I am a graduate student, and I have used PCs for as long as I remember. I decided to finally buy a mac after having to buy a new PC every two years or so. This computer is faster than any I have ever had, and has an amazing battery life. Just off of one charge it will last at least a day or two, even while streaming netflix, youtube, etc. also very lightweight compared to PCs. Just wish it came in different colors :) highly recommended!

    Wanted something faster than our old laptop. Could not believe how fast it is. Am getting older, can't see as well as I used to, so only wish is that screen was larger. Have gotten used to it and my second 'only wish' is that we would have gotten it sooner. Got a remote printer at same time and we couldn't believe the deal we got. My wife set everything up and couldn't believe how quick and easy it was. In summation, just love it!!

    I have been a PC user and was a little hesitant to switch to a mac. I have a work computer, so I was searching for a new computer to have for personal use. Switching from the big bulky computer I had, I was looking for something slim and easy to use. The mac air pro was lightweight and was easy to use when I tried it in stores. Would definitely recommend, especially for those who have used PCs all of their lives!

    With the release of the new MacBook, the Airs have had many great deals. I purchased this for my wife as a surprise to replace the 2008 HP that we bought at Best Buy. She's wanted one for years and has not been disappointed at all with the speed and performance of this Apple product. Definitely worth the upgrade to a 256 GB storage, as these MacBook airs cannot be expanded at all. The 4GB of Ram is more than enough when coupled with the standard processor as my wife does not game on this computer.
