    I have always purchased hp computers. My last hp laptop was purchased at the same time my son got his and they both stopped working the same week 4.5 years after purchase. Coincidence I say not. Mac is light, easy to use, no worry about virus protection and it will most likely outlast any Hp. Worth the extra money in the long run. I wish i had converted sooner. I love this product and my son bought one 6 months ago and loves it as well!

    I am graduating this summer, so I thought of upgrading from my 17 inch vaio with windows 7. After some research, I was undecided between the Lonovo Y50 and the Macbook air. I settled for the macbook air, and I am very happy with my decision. I use this to primarily write papers/grants, etc. I like the portability (its incredibly light!), but has i5 power. 4 GB ram is just fine, but I had MS word from office 2011 crashing on me sometimes while editing my 300 page dissertation, but that was pushing its limits quite a bit. It doesn't ever get hot like I read in some of the reviews, is totally silent, wakes up from sleep in a second, and is totally light (means no back pain in carrying it around!). I also got a student deal that took 200 bucks off of the price! Overall I am very happy with the purchase.

    I have had this computer now for a couple of months and couldn't be happier with its performance. It is speedy, light and really easy to use. While I am an apple fan this is my first computer by them and I can't wait to learn about all the things this can do.

    Easy to use, light weight to carry, long-lasting battery, connects with all other Apple products, i.e., iPod, iPad, iPhone, etc through iTunes or Apple Cloud No problems with malware or Trojan horses. If you use a PC and make a "paradigm shift" to a Mac, beware that everything is a polar opposite such as close or minimization windows minimization but is easier in my humble opinion. There are many more features that are technically too much to list. I love Finder!

    I have been a Microsoft user all my life, so I was extremely apprehensive about spending this amount of money on a device I wasn't sure if I was going to like. The main reason I got a macbook is because I wanted a reliable computer, and I do not like the Windows 7 operating system. I have had my laptop for about two weeks now, and I do really like it. Switching operating systems took ALOT of getting used to. Google was my best friend. The computer has things laid out in a format that is quick and easy; It is also extremely customizable. Sometimes the tracking pad doesn't respond the way I'd like it to, and I miss the shortcuts available with windows (ctrl+f, page up, page down, ctrl+c, backspace (there is only a delete button)), but I'm sure those are things I will get used to over time. Overall, I would say it's a good purchase.

    I was a bit skeptical going from a PC to a Mac; but I'm so glad I made the leap!! It took little time to figure out the system and I have never been happier. The computer is lightweight, fast, easy to operate and stays cool. I would suggest to anyone to take the leap and move to Mac!!

    This is my second MacBook air. I passed the first one down to my husband and kids. At this point I can say that I will never go back to windows based computers. The things I love: Fast Lightweight comfortable to use works flawlessly syncs easily between phone and tablet

    I was thinking of purchasing this laptop for a few weeks. Great speed, storage, and easy to use. It was right around $1,200, but on a random Friday it went on sale for $899. Couldn't pass up a deal like that. I love this laptop and would recommend it even at $1,200.

    This laptop was easy to setup and sync with my existing Apple products. This is my first Apple computer, so it's taking some time to get fully used to the operating system, but it is fairly intuitive and easy to learn. Love the size and weight - very portable.
