  • Great Laptop if you Pony Up for the Quad Core Processor
I first bought the lowest-priced MacBook Air which has the lowest capacity SSD of all available. When it showed up at my house, I was surprised at how sluggish it was. I read some reviews, and realized that Apple didn't make it clear (at least to me) that the lowest-priced Air also has a slower, dual core processor. It makes sense in hindsight, but I digress. I returned that Air, and replaced it with the 500+GB SSD and quad core processor. Wow! The difference in performance is marked! Multitasking, turning on from sleep, everything is MUCH quicker and smoother than with the dual core processor. If you can afford the higher-priced model, I really recommend it! Overall, the MacBook Air is really a beautiful machine aesthetically. I the recycled aluminum exterior is slick and high-end. The onboard speaker won't ever be confused for an external sound system, but it is the best onboard speaker system I've heard. The Retina screen looks great; vibrant and detailed. I also love the large touch pad with the gestures. My favorite aspect of the laptop is the OS. Out of the box this runs Catalina. I haven't owned a Mac since the iBook G4, but I got back into it without much exploring required. I like how easily it works with my iPhone XR as well. Getting texts on the laptop, or pushing a webpage on my iPhone to my Air is seamless and easy. Things just work. I needed to download updated drivers so that I could print wirelessly to my Canon laser printer, but that took five minutes. I also downloaded and installed Chrome for Mac, which I use for a few things, but Safari works very well for the sites I visit. I did have to buy a converter cable that switched from the onboard USB-C to a regular USB cable for a few attachments I have, but that was pretty cheap (especially for an Apple product). I wish the Air had one more USB-C port. Some people hate the onboard camera. At first I was disappointed with it too. With all of this COVID business, I use my laptop to play D&D online with friends via Roll20. We use cameras to interact with each other, and although I found the onboard camera to be slightly grainy, it is very fluid. One of my friends commented that everyone else's video feed stuttered as they moved, but mine looked like he was watching TV. So, although it could be better, it is NOT horrible for my purposes. For the price we pay, Apple could beef up the camera, but it is what it is. ... show more

  • VERY PLEASED!!!
Capacity: 256GB Color: Space Gray
First off, let’s start by saying, this is my first ever owned Mac computer! I have used them in schools and such but never owned until now. I do own the iPhone, iPod, iPad, and love everything about them! Delivery was great, on time, and the item was secured very well! Start up process was extremely easy but that may be because I already have an Apple ID, but still shouldn’t be hard for first time users! So far I love it’s speed, it’s sleekness, sharing between apples products, and camera quality isn’t terrible. One downfall is not having the usb or SD ports but you can easily purchase a docking station fairly cheap. This computer will be mainly for my sublimation business, so I’m not sure of the uphold just yet, (but I’m sure it will be better than my 2016 HP 2g RAM laptop) but will update in a month! It’s an awesome computer at an “Apple” reasonable price. I think it’s worth the money! Overall, Apple has done well and I will continue to purchase their items in the future! ... show more

  • Great Product!
I absolutely love my MacBook. I just switched from an HP and I am SO happy with this purchase. I was really nervous because its so expensive but I'm so happy with the quality of this product. It has so many amazing features like the speakers, touch ID, touch pad swipe thing. It connects easily with my phone and I really like that feature. It had been AMAZING for all the online school I have to do as a college student right now. Its thin, light, and my battery lasts literally ALL day unless I'm doing a lot of zoom calls. One thing I don't like is that the camera quality for said zoom calls is not the best quality, but that's minor compared to the good qualities of this macbook. ... show more

  • Macbooks are simply the best...
I purchased my last Macbook in 2014 and used it constantly for work and personal business. It's only failure was that the keyboard gave out two years ago when individual keys began falling out. Solution? An Apple bluetooth keyboard which fit perfectly over the built-in one. That Mac is still working great (and is now my backup one) but I finally decided to upgrade. The 2020 model is modestly better than my old one - faster, crisper screen images, fingerprint login, etc. But with Apple having already set the bar so high, it's difficult for Macbooks to get tremendously better. Macs offer amazing security and a reliable, durable, long lasting laptop that will last years and years - an amazing return on one's investment. Some say Apple devices are no longer "exciting". Who knows? For me, exciting means amazing quality that lasts and lasts. ... show more
