    This is the first Apple laptop in my family. I was impressed with the design and the speed. The trackpad actually requires actual presses (with tactile feedback) - no more guessing if your tap provided input or not. Also, the charger cable or the port it connects to is magnetic; you can just about let the thing hook up automatically if you bring them close together. One more thing . . . Scrolling requires two fingers, I learned.

    I decided to go back to school and this was an excellent buy. I already have a Mac desktop but it wasn’t suitable for doing homework during my lunch break or late night reading in my bed. My daughter also has a MacBook Pro and I must say I prefer my air. It is lighter and does everything I need it to do and for an excellent price. I love this laptop and user friendly Apple products. I definitely recommend.

    This is my first MacBook computer. I have other apple products but never had a computer and was worried about the switch. It was much easier than I anticipated and I love this computer. Things really are just easier on it and I really like the functionality and speed. The battery life is great on this thing and it charges way quicker than my dell (which was still great but I honestly like the macbook better). I couldn't be happier.

    Bought this for my wife after years of waiting to become a Mac owner. So far all is as expected. The computer is fast, efficient, and was far easier to use than I expected from other Mac users past experiences. Got great advice from the guys at Best Buy. Very happy with our choice thus far. I don't use it a ton, but have used it several times and have enjoyed the simplicity and speed. My wife hasn't complained, so that is a big plus!!

    This is my first MacBook Air. I have always used windows before. I am in nursing school and just wanted a reliable computer. As I was tired with windows and I don't like it anymore. The battery life is amazing in MacBook, and the speed as well. As a first time user, it didn't took me long to get used to it. Apples are very user friendly. Overall, I am very happy with this computer and would recommend this to everyone.

    I was hesitant to leave windows and go to Mac, but so glad I did. The laptop is ridiculously light. Paper thin. There is no lag, starts up quickly and battery lasts forever. Backlit keys is a huge plus. The only complaint is that some text, mainly in PDF's, can be blurry because this PC does not have a Retina display. All in all for what I paid I feel like I got one amazing Computer. Never going back to windows.

    Love the computer, it is so lightweight and so much easier to carry around when I have meetings outside of work. The only thing that I did not like, is that wig all apple products it doesn't come with directions so I had to google what to do to find out how to set up the computer. I'm the type of Erwin that doesn't want to mess up when setting things up and I was afraid that would happen. It didn't but I had googles help!!

    I made the switch from PC to Apple because I wanted a reliable laptop that would last a long time. So far it has been running very smoothly. It's quiet, with a clean and beautiful display. Its size and light weight, plus its long-lasting battery life, make it perfect for use on campus.

    This is the first time I went in for Macbook as I had heard a lot regarding difficulty in using it for the first time, and restricted ability to perform various tasks. Although, I am not using it for developing apps or doing extensive programming, however I must say that for all my house hold needs this fits perfectly. And what a beauty it is in terms of finish, performance and battery life. Really liking my decision now.

    This particular Macbook is so light it can easily fit in a majority of handbags most women carry, so no need to carry a tablet. This Macbook is very fast and the layout of the keyboard is like typing on a desktop size keyboard. The trackpad is generous enough in size that you can comfortably use one finger to three fingers to resize, rearrange, regroup and/or maneuver pages on the screen as the tutor demonstrate.

    I paid $699 for this MacBook Air during Beat Buy's Black Friday in July sale. I have been watching prices online for quite some time and this was the best offer. My daughter needed a new laptop for college and this is perfect for her. The size (13.3") is a good size for college, not too big nor too small. Plus, it is lightweight for carrying around. She loves the keyboard feel and the look of the screen too.
