    I have been using my new MacBook Air for a few weeks now and I have not encountered any real difficulties with it so far. It works fast and is easy to navigate around, and it functions sufficiently for all of the tasks I have tried so far. Occasionally it has had issues with sites that have lots of advertisements, and safari has also frozen a few times and I've had to close and reopen it, but these issues have not been a big roadblock for me. The keyboard feels great, like reviews said, and the battery really does last for a long time; I've had no issue getting through the day on one charge.

    This is an all inclusive, light weight but reasonably fast laptop. It holds charge for a long time. The only down side would be that it does not have touch screen.

    I bought this to help with school and to consolidate various laptops, desktops, etc. that we were using in the home. It can handle everything we need and is light (important b/c I'm dragging it around often) and has all the programs needed for school, work and maintaining a budget. Very pleased with the purchase.

    I purchased this MacBook a little over a year ago for nursing school. My school is an Apple sponsored school, so I thought it would sync well with the technology used in my classes. I have not been disappointed and have no regrets. Apple product are reliable and long lasting. Highly recommend!

    This computer can handle a lot of applications if you decide to run many at a time. I used Numbers, Safari, iMessage and the App Store all at the same time, and this computer didn't skip a beat. Works very smoothly and I'm happy I made the purchase!

    Great MacBook for under $1,000

    Great MacBook for under $1,000. I bought this to replace an older MacBook Pro. It's very simple to use even if your are a PC fan. My family like most others have bought a verity of Apple products over the years such as iPhones, iPads and iPods and have a MacBook really makes connecting devices much easier. I enjoy how fast it is. It takes about 10 seconds from startup to be surfing the web or looking at my photos album. Graphics are very exceptional. It also looks and feels well built for being such a slim design. Most of the other laptops I've had were very bulky and mostly plastic. I'd recommend it!

    The laptop is easy to use and navigate through. The resolution is top notch and clarity is beautiful. Speakers are clear and allows for understandable dialogue. From a windows user I have found it easy to adapt. I don't feel like I need to purchase additional programs or apps because they are basically included

    At first the controls were weird and I felt like I would never get use to my Mac, since I always used windows I was afraid I had wasted my money. Then I played with it more, I LOVE my MAC!! I will never go back, so many nice features allow me to move through my notes with ease! Great choice!

    My purchase for my grandson's gift was based on my experience with the MacBook Air. I have owned and used this product for 4-5 years and have found it to be a valuable tool in my daily life. It was an easy decision and will provide my grandson with a tool as he faces and meets his high school requirements.

    My granddaughter is thoroughly satisfied with her MacBook Air. She uses it for collage and it meets all of her needs . It has proven to meet all of her expectations with accomplishing her goals. The speed and memory is everything is was advertised to be. She will continue to use Apple products in the future.

    I wanted to replace my HP desktop running Vista with an updated device. Since I have an iPhone and iPad an Apple laptop was the obvious choice. The Best Buy Associate was great at xplaining all the options. Since I mostly use my iPad, I thought this entry level laptop from Apple was the best fit for me.
