    Great purchase and price. Had original difficulty starting but with apple it was fixed. Recommend apple one to one if you have never had an apple computer - take all the waiting and frustration out of the transition trying to find out how apple does it.

    Got a great deal on this Macbook Air. It was the previous year model on clearance and on top of that, there was a 2 days sale. I love how extremely light it is. It took some time to get use to the new operating system from Windows but it was worth it.

    This was my dream machine. Love to have it. Very beautifully designed. Boot up time is very less. Wake up time is unimaginable. UI is entirely different than windows and its simply fantastic.

    Nice upgrade from a 2008 Macbook to the Macbook Air. Performance is much better and the weight and size are way better, especially since I travel a lot.

    My 1st Mac

    I'm in my 60's and this is my 1st Mac computer. I've been a PC person for many years! After loving my iPods, iPhones, and iPads, I decided to switch to a Mac when it came time to buy a new laptop. I like how all my Apple products play nicely together. I did struggle trying to transfer all my files and pictures from my PC to the Mac. I did have to go to the Apple store to update this computer to Yosemite, and to reinstall iTunes that didn't work for some reason. I've bought books to teach myself how to use Numbers, Pages and iPhotos as there are some things I need help with learning. I'm very happy with my MacBook Air so far and glad to get rid of my old PC.

    I love this laptop for my wife, it is light and easy for her to use around the house and on the go. She uses Photoshop a lot and it is big enough to manage the tools on screen but small enough that she has no problem taking it where ever she goes.

    MacBook Air!

    This is our 5th macbook since 2011. We have been periodically replacing all windows base computers. The best thing about the air is the flash storage and of course the operating system. Best time to buy this specific model is now because the "new Model" is out and this one is on clearance. But only at Best Buy, at the Apple store as soon as the new model is out they stop offering this model. We can't justify buying any windows base laptop in our household, because by the time they are six months you are fighting the constant upgrades and an immense amount of viruses. Again MacBooks with the best operating system. Very well invested money.

    I am very pleased with my recent purchase of my MacBook Air. I went into Best Buy and walked in not sure exactly what kind of set up I wanted.I was originally looking into getting a Windows Surface Pro 3 yet quickly my eyes were drawn to the Apple section being that I have mostly Apple products. The employee who helped me was very knowledgeable of the items which overall lead me to make my final decision on purchasing the MacBook based on its specs. The item is a bit pricey but they were able to knock down a couple hundred dollars in order to match a competitor's price plus an additional student discount. The laptop has a great feel of quality and has by far exceeded my expectations compared to my other non Apple laptops I've had in the past. You definitely get what you pay for!

    It's a solid state laptop and is durable. It doesn't have all the ports in the world, but it's fine for what we use it for (moderate office work, browsing around the house, etc.). I would probably not recommend using it to play the newest games, but those do not belong on laptops anyway.

    After years of debating whether to switch, I recently purchased the Air and love it. Since I have an iPhone and iPad, the transition was super easy. Compared to some of the quirks of Windows 8, it's a breeze to use.

    This computer is GREAT, just like any other Apple device. It's a great computer. If you want to game or do heavy stuff you might want a probook, but the average and above average user the Air will be more than plenty.

    There are a lot of really good computers out there, HP's, Surface 3, Mac's. I choose the macbook air mainly because the software I'm using lately is mac os. I was worried about the ram (4gb) but there is NO problem at all. I often use 4-5 apps running at the same time and there is no bogging down. The weight is crazy light and the battery life is just unbelievable. Just really happy with this purchase.

    Ready to go out of box! Set up was a breeze. Answer a few question and its up and running. Long battery life and comes with all the software you need pre-installed. My only complaint is Apple is stingy on storage.
