    I haven't had my new Mac for long - but so far I love it! I purchased this, because I am going back to school. The size & weight are perfect to be able to throw into a bag & go. I am going to buy Windows Office for this, however. Mac office applications just aren't as user friendly in my opinion. But knew what I was signing up for when purchasing.

    I have been using apple products for about 10 years; however, this is my first Macbook. It boots up so quickly compared with other laptops I have owned and the battery life is incredible. Seemlessly synced with my iphone, ipad, and AppleTV upon singing in to my existing Itunes account. May take some time to get used to the OSi functionality vs my familiarity with PC, but seems quite intuitive so far. The lighted keypad feature is extremely handy for working late at night. Could use more internal storage, but there are plenty of options for external storage these days. Nice little machine!!!

    I had a MacBook that was 7 years old, it had a few problems so I decided to upgrade to the Air. It's smaller and very thin, easy to travel with. Enjoy apple products!

    Nice and lightweight. Wish it had a DVD drive instead of having to connect an external, but that's helps make it so light weight.

    Works well, lightweight and has a good battery life. I would recommend this laptop to others. The only issue is when software/programs are not apple/mac compatible.

    As a computer science student, this laptop is fantastic to use. With built in terminal, you've got tools to use right out of the box. The battery life is fantastic, longest lasting laptop I've ever owned. Laptop is plenty fast and doesn't slow down even with lots of programs open. My only gripe is the resolution, but everything else is awesome.

    I've always been a PC guy but after having to use a MacBook Air at a contract gig I had I fell in love with how well everything just works. When I left that job I bought a new PC, the Dell XPS then the Lenovo yoga 900, both had issues that new laptops just shouldn't have. I ended up returning them both for the Mac and I couldn't be happier. This might not have the highest resolution screen but the build quality of the hardware and software work beautifully and that's what truly matters.

    I am a sophomore college student and my laptop broke this semester, so I was in the market for a new one. My dad is a huge apple fan, so that had an effect on my decision, but I couldn't decide between the air and the pro. I chose the air because many reviews said the pro was better for graphic design and an animal science student doesn't really need that feature. I am very pleased with my MacBook Air, it is very easy to use and efficient. I am able to use Office products, do my online homework, and I can get on social media and simple game apps when I'm bored. Definitely a recommendation!

    Love my air! Previously had the pro, for almost 8years! Finally upgraded and decided to go with the Air. It's so light weight and easy to travel with. No complaints!
