    Bought this for my daughter to use for school. It's the perfect weight and size. Only annoying thing is the touchpad "click" but I think that's just a personal preference.

    Bought this for my SO, who couldn't be happier. Of all the Macbook models, this has the best balance of power and portability as well as the best battery life. Buying from Best Buy was easier than from the Apple Store.

    Apple as always is user friendly. MacBook Air is essentially function as an iPad with keyboard. In comparison with the retina displays of the new model the visual quality is still doable.

    This was a replacement of a 2009 MacBook Pro. Apple has advanced their processors and hard drives to be faster and accomplish much more with much less. The computer weighs a fraction of what the older models do.

    This is my first Mac computer. It is a learning curve but this is a lightweight easy machine to start with. The only negative is that I would have liked Apple to provide more user information with the computer.

    This was an upgrade from my 2011 Macbook. It's so much lighter and easier to use! I was worried about being able to put music from CDs on my laptop, but with a basic external drive that problem was solved.

    This is my third Mac and I can't say enough good things about it. Love the weight and size of this mac air. I am not a power user so this fit my needs but is very capable of handling more than email and web surfing.
