I have been using Apple products since 1984 with my first Macintosh computer with a black and white 5" monitor. What seemed amazing at the time is merely a relic now. Yet now, as then, Apple keeps the excitement and innovation alive in the MacBook 12" Laptop. This has replaced both my desktop and my MacBook Pro 13" for several reasons. First I don't do graphics and I am not a gamer. If those are priorities for you then you would be better served by either one of the MacBook Pro Laptops or one of the iMac desktops with more processing power. But for the majority of users who use their computers every day in a multitude of ways, this is the ideal computer. At just 2lbs., this is a joy for taking with you wherever you go, almost the same weight as an iPad. However don't be fooled. This is a very powerful and fast computer that is more computer than device. Some of my favorite features are its easy portability, amazing Retina display and unique color schemes. I chose gold because I like the black Tech21 protective shell and the black exterior against the gold interior is very sexy yet professional and a real eye catcher. For the first time in my many years with Apple computers, I have actually used one of the Apple logo stickers that come with every Apple laptop. The sticker is gold like the laptop and I neatly place it where the logo normally shines through on the MacBook Pro laptops. May sound tacky, but it isn't. Looks as if it came from the factory like this. Which begs the question "Why not?!?". When I get home from work, I take my MacBook out of my backpack, put it on my desk at home and connect it to my beautiful Ultrawide Curved 4K monitor. The MacBook supports this seamlessly and honestly I cannot tell the difference between this and the amazing 27" iMac 5K retina that this set-up replaced. Also, once you get used to it, the low island style keyboard lends itself to faster typing (at least for me) and is much more forgiving as the keys are wider than the traditional Apple Keyboard and there is no dissipation of light from the center out to the edges due to the fact that each individual key is lit separately. I bought the upgraded version primarily for the extra storage, but I have used both and there is very little difference in performance. For me, this computer is a game changer in laptop computers. Once again Apple is light years ahead of its competitors in quality, design and performance. I highly recommend this laptop to everyone from the casual user to the more advanced users.

For some folks, this is all you will need in a very compact light weight package, full funtion macbook slightly larger than an iPad. I have it as an altertnative to my 15" MacBook pro which is heavier, and larger. The single port takes a little getting used to and you will need a dongle or two to have maximum funtionality but worth it for the convenience of this small and mighty package.

I needed to replace my 6-year-old MacBook Pro, whose hard drive got fried. I travel quite a bit and was looking for a more compact laptop that would be easier to pack and travel with but still offer me the capabilities of a larger computer.. This new 12" MacBook is perfect! I was replacing a 15" MacBook Pro and was amazed at the difference in size and weight. I do miss the 15" screen, but that was the compromise for this "travel-size" full-strength computer. The keyboard is full-size and still offers slightly raised keys to make it easy to touch type. I had to buy an additional cable though, because this computer only has one external port, USB-C (smaller than the standard USB port). For $80, I purchased a short connector cable with the USB-C computer connection that has 3 ports for connecting other devices: USB, USB-C and HDMI. It's a bit annoying, but I know it'll be fine once I get used to it. Overall, very satisfied with my new Mac and its awesome compact size. The photo shows my old 15" MacBook Pro next to my new 12" MacBook (you can't tell the thickness from the pic but the 12" is also substantially thinner than the 15").

This MacBook is the most amazing piece of technology I have ever owned. I've had PowerBooks and MacBooks before, but this one is so light and thin and innovative it blows me away. The design is amazing. I so totally love this small yet powerful computer. It's hard to believe that so much computer can be had in so little space. I'm so glad I bought this!

Love it, I grew up on strictly windows computers but used macs in school and once I got the first iPhone, I got hooked on Apple and got everyone since My phone works seamlessly As handoff for papers and a lot of work as well as entertainment The fact that my phone can be used as an anywhere hotspot is perfect now with all the cloud intergration I don't even really use USB or anything anymore, but I did get a hdmi adaptor and a USB one to transfer my flash drives and such but the lightweight and just all and all look and display is gorgeous

MacBook 12 is a perfect all purpose computer. It’s very portable but at the same time has plenty of power for most tasks. The build quality is superb. Super crisp Retina display. All around a great device!

I love my MacBook Just make sure you buy S USB-C 3.0 Type C Adapter Multiport Converter because you only have one C port. That's why I gave it 4 stars
