    I like the simple design and portability of this laptop. Screen resolution and other specs are lacking, but it serves well for basic internet browsing and streaming use. Initially, the laptop seemed to overheat and fan would go wild when using Safari but this has been resolved with using Chrome instead, for now.

    I would definitely recommend this laptop. I bought it in store and the women that helped me out was so knowledgable and kind! The store I went to doesn't give commission for laptops like this so I really felt like tipping her because she was so helpful. The MacBook is perfect for what I use it. I'm a college student and am taking almost all online classes. I haven't had any troubles with it, it's fast and reliable. I went into the store thinking I could only afford an iPad and came out with this awesome MacBook. I can't be more pleased.

    I have been a Windows user for a very, very long time. After having trouble with my last Windows computer, problems starting less than a year after I purchased the machine, I gave in to Apple. Let's just say that Windows has lost my business forever. This thing is dependable, fast, and everything I need it to be. It's easy to learn and I will never look back.

    I went into Best Buy, sometime in November to seek pricing on Mac computers. The original price, for the mac air, was $999, so I decided to wait until tax time to make the purchase. One night, just browsing in my email, I ran across Best Buy, having a president sale. & to my surprise, the mac air had went on sale, for $749. I just had to make that purchase, after waiting to get one. After receiving the mac air, I love it. It's small, convenient & works great. Thank you Best Buy, once again, for always having such great deals.

    Typical apple product. Works flawlessly out of the box, no bloatware, and remarkably easy to set up and go. We have an iMac and are familiar with mac computers and my 14 yo daughter switched with no problem from windows system. Comes with Pages, Numbers and Keynote installed, a huge plus over windows that requires office purchase. Another great feature is the migration that copies files from windows to macbook air. Excellent entry level computer with usb port so external hd can be added if 128mb or 256mb isn't enough.

    Looks great, works great. I love how my MAC will ring and I can answer calls from it and receive and send texts from it. Its basically having your phone integrated into your laptop. I hate that I have to type password to unlock every time. no facial recognition or basically something more simple then a long password every time it locks. Battery life is crazy good like an iPhone. Charge overnight for all day use. Super light. Price is what it is, no longer are the days of the Mac being double a windows laptop. Windows laptops are basically the same price. Also don't fall for specs. Macs specs might be less the pc but its optimized to work together seamlessly. PC specs look good on paper but when your graphics card is from here, processor from there, motherboard from here and so on and so on. buy a MAC, don't look back

    The size, weight and clarity are amazing. It's relatively fast and works right out of the box. The only issues I have is the hard drive is a little small, and the casing gets scuffed easily. Definitely should get a cover to protect the casing.

    The MacBook Air® - 13.3" Display - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 128GB Flash Storage - Silver is an excellent computer. Very quick start up. Excellent battery power. The processor and memory handle routine tasks such as web browsing in multiple tabs, video playback and productivity apps with ease. I wish I had 128 GB more disk space for less than $200 more but there is an SD card slot that can be used for disk space expansion. This is an overall great lightweight laptop and well worth the price @ $200 below sticker.

    I definitely had a learning curve as this was my first MacBook! After researching tips and tricks I have gotten a hang of the laptop I also bought Microsoft word for it because I write a lot of essays and my teachers do not accept pages, I know you can covert it but it changed the format. I love this laptop very lightweight and the battery life is great!

    I understand there are some people who just plain hate apple products no matter the device but I am not one of those. This coming from someone who loves the Microsoft surface, the macbook pro is a phenomenal laptop and great for everyone. The laptop runs fast, the interface is smooth and light enough to carry on an everyday basis. This is a high quality laptop meant for everyday use, maybe not for gaming but for doing business/school work. Would definitely recommend if you have the money to purchase.

    The MacBook Air is a great entry level notebook, especially at the fantastic holiday sale price when I purchased it at 25% off. It's thin, light, has speedy performance (particularly the flash storage) and suburb build quality. Unlike the sea of cheap plastic Windows laptops out there that only tend to last 12-18 months before failing, every MacBook I've owned has been very reliable and lasted for several years.

    The good Thanks to a new generation of processors, the MacBook Air gets improved battery life, while maintaining its now classic thin and light metal exterior. The bad Little else has changed over the past few years, while the competition is catching up on design, battery life and usability. The low-res screen feels more dated than ever. The bottom line While still a great all-around useful laptop, the 13-inch MacBook Air is stuck with a lower-res display and a design that's no longer cutting-edge.
