    MacOS, the original and most intuitive GUI

    I've used Macs (in addition to PCs with Microsoft OS) for about 30 years. The Mac OS user interface has always been the most intuitive. I bought this for my college-aged daughter to replace a 6-year-old Mac Book Air whose battery had begun to fail. She just had to have a new one! The kids resisted having a Mac in the house, until I bought an iMac with Boot Camp and the ability to use Windows PC software in 2007. They're all using this version of the Mac Book Air now as their second laptop - they gave up Windows sometime in 2008. I'm cheap and won't buy replacements until the hardware has demonstrably failed or performance is clearly outdated. We're talking 6-8 years covering high school through college for three kids. Apple loses a star for limiting users' ability to upgrade performance or extend lifespan on the new laptop designs. Got a pretty reasonable deal on this one at Best Buy.

    I bought this Mac for school since apparently I'm the only person alive who doesn't own any type of computer. Based off of people's recommendations, all I've ever heard was to get a Mac bc anyone who bought anything else was disappointed and ended up saying that they "should've bought a Mac." So, I decided to get what I paid for and get something better for my buck. I haven't started the school semester yet, so I'm not sure how satisfied I'll be with the software and I haven't had to use it much other than normal browsing. As a faithful Apple product user, so far so good!

    Not a MacBook fan but...

    I am not a MacBook or apple fan, I have always used windows computers and samsung phones so hear me out. After giving a try to a few windows computers I just couldn't get what I was expecting so I decided to give this MacBook a try and I gotta say that so far so good. It works very smooth and haven't had any issues except one small detail; I tend to loose internet every now and than but. Overall it works really good, gets the job done but not sure if is worth the $1,000 msrp but I got mine on sale for $750 so I consider a fair price what I paid for

    I was recently able to not only get myself the laptop I always wanted but my fiancé as well with the help of Best Buy Credit Card. We were able to get instantly approved and most importantly qualify for the promotional no interest rate! Furthermore, a good rapport was built with the PCHO/Apple staff as they prepared us with the right equipment for our personal use as well as getting back to school. We are very happy with my decision we have made!
