    Bought this for my college bound grandson on the recommendation of his sister who had the older model of this computer. It took her through to graduation and several years beyond with no problems.

    As an avid Windows and Linux user, I saw a lot of students on campus use Macbooks and I wondered why. I've heard good things about them and I always wanted to get one but the prices always drew me away. When I saw these go on special, I bought one and I am very happy with it. Battery life is very good, OS is a bit confusing but not difficult to use, I am still getting used to it but it has been pleasant.

    I bough this computer it worked really sweet but I returned it for the larger memory. I'm running windows on half the computer and it uses a lot of memory. I needed the MacBook Air with 256 memory.

    I am only using my computer for checking emails, surfing the web and printing out things when needed. For that reason I went with the Air. It's nice and light, easy to pack up and go and runs fast.

    Excellent laptop for just about anything. My use is mainly school work, but I also video edit and frequently gaming on it. It keeps up with my fast paced needs and proves it was definitely worth it.

    What can I say you can't go wrong with a Mac. Had to replace an old 13 inch unibody with this and couldn't be happier. Well my wife couldn't be happier .

    I use this computer on a daily basis and love it. I don't use for heavy applications so I do not know how well it performs while doing so. But this is definitely a great computer for everyday use.

    I purchased this Macbook Air for my son for Christmas. He has every other Apple product so I went ahead and got this for a very great price. He uses it quite often and hasn't had any issues with it.

    I was confused between different laptops. However, in a great deal, mac was definitely the best option. Air was cheaper than Pro for the price and to me, portability was the most important feature.

    Best laptop for the money

    This was my second MacBook Air purchase. This one was for my daughter who is in high school. There are pros and cons for everything but the thing I like most about Apple laptops is the hardware isn't obsolete 10 minutes after buying it. I have bought several windows based laptops and the hardware is outdated by the time you leave the parking lot. I've owned a Mac for several years and had no issues and this one I bought on sale at Best Buy for $100 off and a bundle deal with Microsoft Office which was essentially free when all the discounts were taken into account.

    After years of using PC's at home and Mac's at work, I finally decided to purchase the MacBook Air for my personal use. Best decision I ever made. Great computer. Easy to use. Great for multi-tasking.

    Was looking for a good laptop that can handle all the tasks that a college student has. I fell in love with this laptop. It doesn't have a CD port but that doesn't bother me because i never use CD's.
