    Having spent the last 30-40 years in the Windows-based world on a desktop, I was a little nervous about leaving my old familiar platform and ditching my monitor, keyboard and tower. The migration to the Mac Air couldn't have been easier and I love how lightweight it is! Now I'm saving up for an iPad!

    This is my first MacBook Air. I've used Windows previously. There are a few things that I cannot figure out how to do but this is so light and fast.

    Great laptop. Super light weight. Very Fast. Near instant wake from sleep. Massive battery life (15+ hours with normal web surfing and email). Surprisingly good sound from such a small device

    I have 3 MacBook Pros in the family, this is the first MacBook Air for me, I absolutely love it! It's light, fast, and works great! The battery lasts much longer than my other computers.

    I did my research and knew this was the machine that I wanted to buy. BestBuy was the best place to buy it when combined with the already discounted price and an additional coupon. Same support from Apple later and a cheaper price up front. I'd recommend buying from BestBuy to others too.

    This laptop does everything, I went to bestbuy to buy the desk top and came home with the laptop and it does eveything the desk top would have done and I absolutely love this. But I am still going to purchase the desk top for my husband because he like for things to be more stationary.

    This laptop is perfect for college students that need something light and capable to handle most assignments and tasks. The battery life is superb and the HDD is good enough. I prefer a larger HDD, but it can be upgraded at a later time. Over all a good purchase and worth the money.

    I've wanted a Mac forever. Now I have one and I couldn't be happier. I love the lightweight feel. The operating system is fast. Getting used to the Mac is my biggest challenge (as a first time user). Otherwise, I love it!

    I didn't know if I would like purchasing an Air or not. I had never thought about it until caving in and going for something new. Previously, I had a MacBook from 2008. Since MacBooks don't come with a CD drive anymore... Getting an Air vs. a Pro was an easy decision to make.

    I had my old MacBook for more than 5 years and am impressed with the long lasting quality of these products. This time, there was a good deal on the MacBook Air, hence the purchase. The system runs smooth, very fast. We will see if this makes it to 5 years, too.

    This thing is light! It only weighs about 3 pounds, and I can carry it with one hand. It has great battery life and the battery recharges fairly quickly. The one downside is that the screen is not very high definition, it is definitely not a retina screen...my ipad and iphone 6 have better resolution. I am overall pleased with how it runs.

    Was excited after I ordered the new MacBook Air; am ecstatic now that I have received it! Easy to set up and merge my old MacBook features into the new one. Battery life is amazing and the new operating system puts a smile on my face. I have yet to detect a first bug!

    The MacBook Air is the battery champion. For mobile users who need the longest possible batttery life and the great benefits of OS X, this is a total winner. I also installed Windows, using the Boot Camp Assistant, and this is my favorite Windows laptop, too!

    This is my second Apple Macbook, and it's just as awesome as the first. For new time users, the interface (layout of the desktop), takes a little getting used to, but once you figure out all the shortcuts you can do with your fingers, it makes everything easier.

    Love everything about my MacBook air! Our desktop hp crashed so I've been without a computer for some time now, making school work very difficult. Was able to get this laptop and it's made life so much easier! This laptop will be going to college with me.
