The best laptop out there today in every way.

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2016

Verified Purchase

I have used the MacBook Air for the last three years as a middle school teacher. The laptop was a part of our Maine MLTI program for educators and was issued to all teachers for our use throughout the year(s). I immediately fell in love with it because of its incredibly intuitive, powerful, fast and simple user interface. Additionally, it never slowed down over the years and never had a virus or malware issue! As a user of that laptop, it turned a staunch PC person like myself around 180 degrees. I recently retired and I ordered the newest MacBook Air with 8 gigs of ram and the El Capitan operating system from Amazon.com. I just received the laptop and it arrived in pristine condition and was very easy and quick to set up. Another great thing about this laptop is that you can buy an inexpensive Thunderbolt HDMI adapter to hook up to an HDMI monitor and get true HDMI resolution! You can also buy an inexpensive SDXC flash card to increase your drive capacity up to an additional 256 gigs! I believe that this is the best laptop out there today in every way.

Why didn't I go Mac 5 years ago?

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2017

I held out on shelling out a grand for a Macbook for years, but I'm definitely glad I finally broke down and bought one. Very user friendly, fast, and portable. You underestimate the value of a light, slim laptop like a Macbook Air until you get one. Battery life is phenomenal, which is another "didn't know you needed it until you got it" feature. On my PC laptop I could only work next to an outlet--now I can work anywhere for 4-5 hours before I even need to think about plugging in.

Another benefit--OSX is by far the most user-friendly OS for development i've used (WIndows 8 & 10, Ubuntu Linux). Everything just works--no head-banging over dealing with .tar files and permissions, no driver incompatibilities, it's all just plug and play.

PS: Brief acknowledgement to the company I bought this from, they delivered a great specimen in good time for a fair price. Would recommend.

It's fine

This laptop works just fine -- I use it for school and GarageBand, mostly. I probably wouldn't buy it again just because I think there are better options out there (for better prices) -- I was just a little caught up in brand names when I purchased it.

Size and weight are really good and I find it extremely portable.

Keys are VERY loud so be prepared to get dirty looks while typing in class or in public.

Magnetic charging cord annoys me because it constantly falls out if it ever-so-slightly shifts.

I wish I could figure out how to turn off notifications because these little banners for email and Software updates CONSTANTLY come up, blocking my screen. The update ones are the worst because you can't dismiss them without switching to the update page (or at least I haven't figured out how).

I thought having an Apple laptop would be convenient since I have an Apple phone but it isn't worth the hassle of not being compatible with anything else, especially since they make you pay for iCloud storage beyond like 1 or 2 GB.

This is a surprisingly hardly little laptop for an Apple product; it has stayed in great condition. I have a hardshell thin case around it and that seems more than satisfactory to protect it, which is more than can be said for the iPhone....

Am I completely dissatisfied? No, I think it is perfectly fine. Would I buy it again? Nah, not worth the price, look elsewhere.

LOVE is the word I use to describe my MacBook Air. I love everything about it more than I ever loved a computer I have owned in all my years. It's beautiful. And it does everything I need. So lightweight, so perfect. I love apple and I love this computer! Great price on here as well. I compared prices before I bought and Amazon was the cheapest at the time!!

This is my review of the Apple MMGF2LL/A MacBook Air 13.3-Inch Laptop (8GB RAM 128 GB SSD) MMGF2.

There isn't much I can say about this computer. I had a MacBook Pro back in 2009 that got water damage and I just had the hard drive transferred over to this brand new one (I was able to salvage photos!) and before that I had an Apple G4 when I first started in college. I've always loved Apple computers.

My mother, who was never tech savvy and kept her Motorola Razr phone for yearsssss past when it should have been thrown away, even loves the Apple computers. She got one after seeing my first one and now she is absolutely in love. She's had them for years now also.

If you aren't already an Apple user, do the research or ask an expert to make sure they are right for you. For me, they've always been super user-friendly. If you are an Apple user, check out the specs and see which one is right for you. Mine is used for Amazon, photos, and general interneting.

I strive to be as honest and thorough as possible when reviewing products online because I know when I shop online, I rely heavily on real-life reviews and real-life photos. I love when I find something online that looks so great... almost too good to be true... and I can find a review below with real photos and an explanation. That way I can be sure that what I'm buying really is the amazing deal I'm hoping for... orrrrr (hopefully not) a disaster disguised as a triumph[...]

Love my MacBook Air! As a lifetime PC user there is an obvious learning curve as I navigate this OS which is new to me. Still, I enjoy all of its features thus far. Also, five stars for the order ease and speedy delivery. I am a satisfied customer!

It does take a while to google operation system for windows oldies like me although we are an iphone family

As you expect of Apple, well worth its value and prestige. It does take a while to google operation system for windows oldies like me although we are an iphone family.
I think a different set of logic works for Apple users and its a question of how much you want to adapt to newer things. Maybe an year in use I will be more comfortable with it.

Super praktisch

Ich liebe mein MacBook. Es ist einfach zum bedienen, es geht super schnell an und aus und ist einfach und leicht zum mitnehmen. Dazu hat es ein super Design und lässt sich ganz einfach mit anderen Apple Geräten verbinden. Bei dauerhafter Benutzung und nur im Stand By Modus hält der Akku allerdings nur 12 Stunden oder so, ist aber völlig in Ordnung.
