    So far I love the MacBook Air. I'm transitioning from a larger dell laptop. The speed is great and it's light weight and easy to transport. Love it so far!

    Got it for $799 on sale. The new Airs are $400 and smaller. Sure they're more powerful but for basic functionality you can't go wrong with this model.

    coming from a 2013 macbook pro 15" retina to the 13" air is a visual adjustment. no big deal on size but retina is so much better than the air for me a 55yo user. weight on air is terrific as well as speed and keyboard feel but i couldn't get over the display quality and took the air back for the new 13" macbook pro released 11/2016.

    I didn't want to spend the money it cost to buy a Mac so I was looking at windows computers that got 4 plus star reviews. I went into Best Buy and had a great experience with Dillon. When I told him what I needed and the amount I could spend he said why not a Mac? I didn't realize the price I could get a Mac for these days. I got an amazing deal on the perfect Product and spent less then I had planned. Best deal on the best product for sure!!!

    Got this for college; it is a great size and fairly light for carrying around all day. The speakers on it aren't the best, but that hasn't really been a problem for me. It has frozen up a couple of times and I've had to shut down and restart. Macs have really cool features and although I've never used one before, it was easy to learn.

    Great MacBook! As an experienced Mac user I found the MacBook Air to be a step up due to its having the latest version of operating system, faster response, and many other improved features. Since my wife has been exclusively a PC user for so many years, it would be nice if there were a tutorial downloadable during set up that takes the PC user through some essential lessons, as outlined in the "Mac tips for Windows switchers" on the Apple Web site. (Or maybe it is there and we missed it.) Of course Best Buy offered free set-up with this purchase as well.

    You can't go wrong with a Mac. This computer is just as fast today as it was when I bought it. It is light, fast and didn't need any additional software.

    I like this better than the pro as it is light weight. Makes traveling easy. Don't mind that the screen is slightly smaller than the pro would offer

    This was my first MacBook and compared to all of my previous laptops, I absolutely love it! It is easy to type with, the layout is fun and easy to use, & it’s a plus that I can use iMessage on it to keep in touch with my friends and family!
