I have waited such a long time to be able to get myself a Mac. I cannot believe that I finally have one. It is such a great computer. Apple (high-pitched voice)!!! It truly is a great value for the money invested. I do wish they were at least a little cheaper, however you still get what you pay for in America. Can you buy a computer cheaper? You bet!! You will still only have a cheaper computer that will need to be replaced in the next year!!! Just sayin!!!!

The switch over to a mac was somewhat difficult at first due to the differences in the touch pad. The instructional videos were very helpful though and I have actually found tools such as the two finger scroll and four finger viewing far better than I expected.
The icons are very accessible which is very nice and user friendly. The one thing that I would change is removing some of the default icons that are unnecessary on the main applications document. There are many useful ones that come included though which I have really enjoyed such as iTunes, iPhoto, and Safari.

I learned on Mac. When graduated, the world was using PC. Once I got used to the Mac platform again, it's great. Very glad I made the switch back.

This is, as said before a great product, got my OS upgrade easily and a 100 dollar best buy gift card along with student discount, great deal. I would prefer an upgraded memory to 8GB as the base operating system uses about 2.5 - 3GB or RAM so, if you want to run virtual machines like I do, you should upgrade your ram. Other than that the base 13" model works great.

I love this computer. Use it for all my school needs. The only issue I've had is an warning that pops up every time I open iTunes. I've had it into the Genius Bar and they weren't able to solve the issue. I was told I either have to live with the pop up or shut off my firewall!

I was nervous to spend as much money as I did on this macbook, but it has proven to definitely be worth the money. If you're stuck between whether to buy a macbook or a pc, definitely go with the macbook! you won't regret it!

The speed is great - monitor quality is outstanding. Unit is slightly heavy and footprint is large for a 13" laptop. Easy to move from a p.c. I believe I will now stay with Mac/Apple products.

Apple macbooks are having an issue with the graphics card and the processors not working correctly together. It causes odd black screens and the computer crashing. Its a known problem. Google it. I brought the new computer to Apple Genius Bar when I noticed the problem and they said they were aware of it but there was nothing they could do. They told me to return it to bestbuy. I went to bestbuy to exchange it but I was forced to return it. I am a Federal Employee and BestBuy matches Apples Federal Store prices. The manager at the Potomac Yard Store said this was not true and would not honor the price I bought it at their Pentagon City store. Long story short, I returned the computer and BB lost a $1154 sale. I was very annoid but in the end I will buy it from Apple on my Amex and get the second year warranty free.

Love this computer in every way but one... the speakers! They aren't terrible but I like to listen to music from my computer a lot of the time so this matters to me. You just dont get a clear and loud sound. Other than that I'm in love!

Product is great and although it was more expensive, I am confident that I I wont be having problems with it in a year like the other computers. Only problem I've had is that the cursor freezes at times so I have to close it for a minute and let it reset....kind of annoying and would like to figure out how to keep that from happening.

It takes a little bit of getting used to. I'm still learning and not real good with it yet.
Bought it because I'm tired of buying a new Windows machine every 2 or 3 years.
The 13.3 screen is small. I bought it most to have to travel with easier. If it were my primary home machine, I'd want bigger display. But the 13" is about $700 less than the 15".
