All I do is write papers for school on word, surf the web looking at articles, youtube, netflix, and microsoft office. Id almost like to say its way too much computer for the basics. It is an amazing little machine though! I am very happy with it and so far it has had no flaws. Well one flaw.. it could be cheaper, but I guess its expected from such a well functioning product.

I bought it for my 11 y.o. Daughter for her school work and is working smoothly and perfect for her needs, is a great size, not too big, not too small, battery life is superb and the compatibility with the printer and other devices is just blissful with 0 problems.
The features that I love the most is the parental control on this computer is so simple and so secured that you don't have to worry on what is your kid doing in the computer when you're not around, you can program how many hours can they be online, block certain websites without having to be a computer expert,I've had and tried hp laptops and tries the parental control blocking feature and I didn't work that well.
I finally have peace of mind when she is in her computer. I'm so grateful for bestbuy having it on sale so I could afford it. We are very happy with it'

My new 13" MacBook Air has been great. Purchased it for $200 off during the holidays and it has been well worth it. It's lightweight, compact, and easy to carry. It has some functionality that the iPad air2 doesn't have (even with a keyboard). It opens from sleeping super fast and boots up super fast. I was so tired of waiting for my PC to boot up. If you're in the market for a high quality laptop, this is definitely worth the second and third look.

Although this is not my first apple product, this is my first apple laptop. I have to say I'm in love with it. The look is so appealing (just like all other Apple products) and it is a very lightweight and portable. I love how easy it is to use and how easy it is to transition from a windows to a Mac. Since I have other Apple products it's easy to connect all of the devices. The battery charges very fast and it lasts a long time.

I love my new Mac! It is light weight (yay), and the set up was extremely easy. I am used to Windows so the learning curve for me is taking longer. I'm primarily wanting to use my laptop for blogging and vlogging (for my nephew), so learning how to maneuver through each app and control buttons has been interesting. I don't like the touch pad very much - it doesn't seem to be as sensitive as I figured it should be; however, it isn't a deal-breaker for me. I wish I could give 4.5 stars instead of 4 - and really the reason for the 4 stars is because of the touchpad. I purchased the wireless mouse but again, I'm used to the other kind so not having 2 buttons is throwing me off a bit. I'm sure as I work with it more, it will become 2nd nature. Great laptop, quick, nice picture/video quality...

I used to be a staunch defender for Microsoft and Windows. I always thought that MacBooks were overpriced and didn't offer the same performance for the money as their Windows laptop. But I was never satisfied with Windows laptops - they all had problems and glitches that prevented me from recommending them to others.
But when it was on sale for $1049 - at Best Buy, I just had to get it. And simply put, the MacBook Air surpassed my expectations. The hardware design is flawless. There are simply no other notebooks that can match the aesthetic value of the MacBook. Performance-wise, it's great. The 4GB RAM is definitely not for heavy, demanding tasks, but plenty enough for surfing the web, GarageBand, word processing... pretty much everything a regular college student and average user would need.
Please do yourself a favor and save yourself from dealing with subpar laptops. MacBook is the way to go for portability, aesthetics, and functionality.

I bought this laptop due to my old macbook has been 4 years old and I usually carry it with me when I travel but I always feel its weight in my bag. The new Macbook Air is super light for it's capacity and functions. So far it has been good and working well for me. I believe this is just another great laptop that will last me for four years as long as I would keep it. MacBook's quality is definitely trustworthy.

I had to upgrade from my 2005 Macbook. This fit the bill perfectly. The speed is amazing and it came with everything I needed to be off and running in no time. Apple did not disappoint. No CD drive, but you can buy an external one cheap. I'm very satisfied with my new Air.
