    I switched to Mac several years ago. They have never let me down. Tougher than any other computer I have owned. This is no exception. Mac is a quality above the rest.

    The size of the MacBook is perfect for carrying in a shoulder bag or carry-on luggage. The processing time is slower than on a MacBook Pro however is still speedy.

    The item purchased is nice. It can do some things that some other laptops cannot do. The only issue I have with this computer is the price. Apple tends to value their products a bit high in my opinion. As the laptop purchase was to support a family member I paid the price to get what was needed.

    I went to the Best Buy store as I did not know exactly what I was looking for in a laptop. The staff helped me find the perfect laptop for my needs! This computer has been perfect and they even price matched it for me with the education discount through Apple as I am a teacher. Highly recommended!

    Great product and most popular for college students so easy to get answers to questions from friends. Best Buy was great to offer trade in on older laptop.

    The Macbook Air is a wonderful computer for someone on a budget, but wants the Apple experience. This is my second macbook air, since I basically wore out the battery from my first one. Since the battery was going on my first air, I decided to upgrade since I also needed more memory for my hobby.

    Bought this for my son for his freshman year in college and it has been a great computer. I would recommend purchasing the apple care plus. It has already paid for itself, he crack the screen :(. Apple computer's are more but they also hold their value and no viruses to worry with.

    I had a late 2009 MacBook that had been a hand-me-down through several people. It worked great, other than the speed of the computer and the trackpad needing to be replaced. I decided to upgrade, rather than spend the money adding ram and replacing the trackpad, but man am I glad I did!

    Got this for my wife for Christmas. She had been dealing with Dell laptops for years and was never good with keeping software up to date and virus protection. The Apple MacBook Air solved all of that for her. Excellent laptop and would recommend this to anyone.

    I use this laptop for video editing on Final Cut Pro X and running Logic Pro X. Both of these programs are very demanding in terms of memory use but this macbook air seems to handle running the programs like a dream!

    I've always had Mac's so when it came to getting my kids ready for college, I knew there was only 1 computer to get them. My old Mac lasted 9 years without incident or virus, I wanted that security for my kids too.

    I have always wanted a MacBook and I was really looking forward to this purchase. It seamlessly connected with my iPhone and the start up process is spectacular and not difficult at all. Would recommend this product to anyone in college who does not want to deal with heavy laptops.

    Always wanted a Mac but was discouraged by the prices. After having viruses hijack/encrypt my PC data in 2014 & another recent virus (that needed a professional to delete) I was ready to give up on PCs. A good sale at Best Buy made it possible to upgrade to the MacBook Air I wanted. Yay!

    I purchased this for my daughter when she started high school and it is now essential for her schoolwork. Her school is very high tech and assigns most homework via the web. Great learning for later using this piece of tech in college.

    Exactly what I was looking and needed. The MacBook Air is great. I thought about the MacBook Pro but decided this one fit my needs better. The main point was having the SDXC slot. I got 2- 128Gb cards and doubled my memory capacity. The cards we on sale for $40.
