    I really like the Macbook Air. It's light, versatile, and fast. However, I bought it "open box" and it came locked with someone else's password. I had to reload the entire operating system. Even with the discount that comes with "open box," the computer should be ready to go when the customer opens it.

    Best Laptop

    I am using Macbook Air since 2011 after ditching two different Pricey Windows Laptop, HP ENVY and Sony VAIO, both died and had time to time issues. Macbooks are not the best out there, with the configurations there are much better PC's, but such inferior configurations too, this is so reliable. Apple Regular Software Updates, proper security, Support for Softwares, and most important the Customer Service. For Day to Day with the WOW Factor this is best Period. I bought 2 this times for gifting purpose and i own 2011 IMAC & AIR.

    I ordered this MacBook Air during the pre-Christmas sales. I received my MacBook opened the box turned it on and went to work! Set up is minimal and as I am familiar with with Apple, very easy. This would be a great introduction to the Mac family. The MacBook Air is fast and light. The battery is no joke! Lasts all day. It is also nice to have the SD slot on the side for downloading photos from your camera and additional charging ports. All in all i am very pleased with my MacBook Air and would highly recommend for the casual user.

    The MacBook Air is a great laptop. Size and weight, excellent. Computing power, good there too. Also like that this model has regular usb plugs. I just can't give a 5 (I'd say 4.5), as I'm an IT guy who thinks Windows is really doing more good things with their OS and because the cost is a little higher.

    My first Mac lasted a good five years before the screen went out (my fault). The computer still works but the cost to fix everything was almost the same price as the computer itself. My only complaint is that there is no CD drive, but almost all laptops are moving in that direction. It's nice and light especially in comparison with my old MacBook Pro. Although Macs are pretty pricey it was worth it. With little credit I was approve for the BestBuy credit card (my first credit card) and I know it's for a product that is of good quality.

    I love and hate apple products

    This was my first macbook. I was super excited once I bought. I mainly used it for school, but also some editing on the side since I like to edit photos and video. About 6 months in my computer started slowing down (could have been due to memory issues). Everything is great on this computer since it is extremely user friendly. Very simple and does not have a lot random applications as a windows computer does. The thing I have to complain about and why I rate it a three is due to the delicacy of apple products. They seem to charge a lot and not make a lasting product. I had my cell phone 6 inches above my closed laptop. I dropped my phone on it. To my surprise, I opened my computer and saw that the whole screen had shattered. The cost to fix the screen to this laptop is the price of buying a new one.
