I recently upgraded to the New Macbook and I could NEVER go back to a regular old PC. I decided to get a Mac because I already have an iPhone, iPad, AirPods, and Apple Watch so might as well complete my set. I ordered it off the website on Friday and had it by Monday! The retina LED display is clear and can be dimmed and adjusted very similarly to the screen of the iPhone so I can easily adjust the brightness while I work into the night. The speaker provides a loud clear sound that shocked me because I have not had a computer with this quality level of sound before. The applications such as pages and their PowerPoint program are very user friendly and create projects easier than word plus the documents can be converted to be word compatible with just one button. All in all I am very pleased and may get my mom (a teacher) the same one for mothers day

For Apple products - it's always 5 star. MacBook Air is no exception. Technology from Apple and convenience of carrying it around the world - what more do you want? The looks of the MacBook Air has been always same since 2014 - however, the new version has better battery life compared to previous version. Got a great deal during Thanksgiving sale - 8GB RAM and 256GB hard disk with high resolution makes it worth every penny paid for it. Love the 13.3" screen size.

The Macbook Air is a great computer and is very light weight. It offers all the computer power of some larger machines in a light, portable, yet powerful machine. I can't think of much my Macbook Air can't do from a computing standpoint from editing photos, working on websites, and occasional blogging it does it all! Apple's impeccable service stands behind it if I ever do have a problem. I can't recommend this enough.

Yes - Mac does cost more - however - it lasts much much longer. We purchased our current MacBook Pros back in 2009 - that's 8 years - and they still are humming and doing what we need them to do. We have four iMacs - two from 2009 and two from 2016 with larger screens. All Mac devices synch seamlessly across the MacBooks, iMacs, iPhones and iPads. What more could you ask for?

We used to have burial services regularly for Laptops...and after much protest....I switched to a MacBook Air a few years ago. What you have known forever is comfortable forever...and I was sure this
would not be it....oops ! It is now a number of years later and we are still "friends"....have not had it in for repairs once...If I had one complaint it would be that I wish it would hold a charge longer but the learning curve is far less than I imagined...and when it is passed on to the next friendly user...it will be replaced by another of the same kind that runs faster, jumps higher and can multi-task...a female version !

Probably the best computer I have ever owned for its convenience and functionability. Everything was super easy to use (if you're used to macs). I used it for just about everything, and I carried it with my easily just about everywhere! Not entirely by choice (I changed jobs) I had to give mine up. From there, I went to a chromebook.... (don't get me started). But I definitely think its time to go back to a MacBook Air!

It's taken me a while to totally adapt to being all apple. When I first bought my mac I left it in the box and then on the shelf for months. It took that HP computer actually going all blue screen before I embraced the mac. Now there is no way I would ever go back.
The no virus worries, the never crash, my favorite little thing is the back lit keyboard for evening work.
And it's totally awesome that I can sync everything, my laptop, my iPad, and my iPhone.

When the first MacBook Air came out years ago, I was one of the first in line to buy it. Today's versions are smaller and better.
First, it fits inside of my favortie Chanel bag. Second, it's really light weight. And third, it's a real computer that can do anything that my Big Mac does.
It's easy to use on listing appointment, at Open Houses (especially if there is wi-fi at the listing - means blogging during down times)) and for downloading and watching favorite TV shows. It comes with pretty much all of the software you need for putting together presentations, editing photos, and doing a video.
I recommend it to my fellow 'Rainers, especially those who haven't yet discovered the Mac magic!

I have a Macbook Pro and a Macbook Air - to tell you the truth, they're both great for Real Estate. Here's the deal - the Mac Pro is larger and faster out of the box, so works really well for photo/video storage and "all your stuff". It's great for the house, and in a pinch can go with you if you need it HOWEVER and a big however, the Pro gets heavy after a while if you walk alot - carry through properties and what not. That's why I also carry the Air. Believe it or not, the little bit of weight difference actually makes quite a big difference. The Air has a smaller drive (get as big a hd as you can) so you'll want to use this one for marketing materials and presentations. It's a better alternative to an iPad in my opinion. Why 2 macs for me? Easy - they communicate well with eachother. Synchronisation is a cinch, and for me, it's all about convenience. Hope this helps!
