    Had a horrible time with the person who helped me in the store. At 1st Indigo color was placed for Order while I requested for silver. The order was cancelled and Silver was placed. Then the order itself was delivered on a later date which was not communicated. When I went back to return the order as I got it late. I got a shock that the money will refunded to a gift card because the 1st person when he cancelled the wrong order put the money in gift card and placed the 2nd order. I had to request and push in the store for about 40 mins till finally a manager figured out a way to get the refund to my original payment method

    Although it’s a great size, if you’re coming from an iPad to a Neo it’s not as easy to adjust to no touch screen. I found myself tapping the screen too much. It didn’t work out for me.

    I purchased a computer that was delivered with a faulty motherboard, making it unusable from the start. As a result, I have not been able to use the computer at all and was forced to take it to technical support for repairs. I kindly request that you take into account the significant inconvenience, time loss, and frustration this situation has caused when reviewing my case.

    I am an Apple user but I don’t like this small version. It’s hard to work with. Maybe it’s because I also have an iPad but I find this computer is too small. I tried to trade-in on another model but Apple will only recycle.

    Bought this for my daughter and it broke after the first use. Best Buy wouldn’t let me return it since i bought it early for her 14th birthday. Then I had to take it to the Mac store which was super annoying.

    Best Buy was the only one who had my pink MacBook in stock at the time, (nearest to me) the process of ordering my laptop was sooo easy ! When I picked up my laptop Best Buy employees was great ! They helped me out with any questions, I even walked around to look at TVS they assisted with that. Thank you sooo much Best Buy I have always wanted a MacBook!

    256gb of storage/8gb of ram at $600, not impressed

    Posted .

    Horrible value honesty, it's super fast until it isn't and there's nothing you can do really about it, this models comes with 8GB of ram and 256gb of slow storage which most phones have more of both and no touch ID for $600. If you think of it as an IPad Neo, it makes more sense and becomes a more attractive product. I wouldn't recommend it to a college student or adult for work but for super casual use. The 8gb is not future proof as Apple already phased it out of their Macs, but there seems to be a weird campaign to bring it back.
