Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 bought this, calling it my new "writing machine," but I totally lied. I'm using it for writing and work stuff, but I'm also using it for everything I decided to keep my pc laptop for. Procrastinating by watching Hulu and Netflix without moving for a solid ten hours, being light enough, but also large enough to have wonderful quality viewing, and fast enough to do all that plus store a ton of documents that are half thought out ideas. And then when I actually write one it, I realize I did get my new writing machine (four chapters and counting in a month, woo!) even though I really just wanted a fancy toy. I love it and recommend it for being a nice and light, powerful laptop. (Next I'm going to get the Pro and try it, but I've yet to think of a good enough reason to justify spending the oh-my-god-what-even amount of money for it. Someday . . .)

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.

have had a mid 2011 macbook air that I bought when it first come out. It has been super reliable and a trusty staple in everyday life. There have been numerous improvements to the Air since 2011 like better battery life, faster storage, and a better processor. With this update It was finally time for me to upgrade to this newer model. I am absolutely pleased with the improvements. My OS is so much faster and more responsive on this Air than my older Air. It really speeds up my productivity. I have owned a few windows laptops and have never had one last as long as an apple product. Sure the initial cost is higher, but the product last longer(IMO anyway) and has a much higher resale value when you do finally decide to upgrade. I also find OS X much more pleasant to use and much more stable.

I have had no problems with my computer. I love the lightweight feel of it. Portable yet durable. Fast, easy to use

so easy to use, fast processing, lightweight, love the backlit keyboard no other laptop comes close in battery life- A+++++

I use my Mac primarily for surfing the web, responding to emails and some light "office work". It is very fast, has all the memory I need and seems very durable with the aluminum body. It is also very light which I LOVE! I wish I had broke up with Windows years ago and made the switch. There's been a bit of a learning curve going from Windows to Mac but it's nothing you can't handle and learn with Google! This Mac ROCKS!

Upgraded from a 11 inch 64 gig air to this 13 inch 256 gig air. Difference is day and night as this the newer one is faster with better resolution.

This computer is fantastic! It's super lightweight, has a fast processing speed, and looks sharp! I'm super scared of dropping it, but I've gotten a case/cover for it, and am hoping that will help if/when a drop occurs. I thought I would miss not having a CD drive, but so far I haven't even noticed it.

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

Another gem of an invention from Apple. It is a great computer. Very light and compact. The Operating system perfectly befriends the hardware. Very fast and easy to use. I would recommend anyone to get this computer. This is one of the best laptop I own in my lifetime!

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.

Many of us buy more computer than we need. Unless you are using intense software, this computer will still be more than you need! It's fast, portable and beautiful. Could not be happier.

Apple MacAirbook works well. Fast, great battery life, lit keyboard, very light and no issues at all. The keyboard is much better when you switch the setting so it does not require so much pressure to click. Overall, very pleased!

The macbook air was a perfect replacement for my previous macbook, which I had for 7 years. It's beautiful, light weight, fast, and extremely easy to use. A great product and piece of equipment.

My wife loves her MAC. It is fast light weight and user friendly. This is the 5th lap top for her and the MAC is by far her favorite.

Went from a MacBook pro to the air and I couldn't be happier. Battery lasts longer, runs faster, way lighter and easier to haul around campus and take notes on

Fast,light, durable.. battery can last forever!!!!

It is listening to me always. It is responding to me always It never let me down It comes with me always Yes it is faster, long lasting, portable
