Good p urchase

Works great. I only wish I'd realized that it just has a single port, a USB-c. and nothing else (except a headphone connection). Makes adding external devices very tricky. But the laptop itself is fast and it was easy to migrate from my old computer.

A happy silver anniversary

My wife is the person who started my conversion from IBM/Microsoft. How could I NOT wish to celebrate that with a new MacBook for her - on our upcoming Silver Anniversary? She loves it. I love her. We're both Apple Users, now, since she converted me a decade ago.

Small, light and powerful!

Great computer to cary around or travel with. Bright screen and smooth keypad. Only one USB/charging port though. Not an issue for me.

I wanted a computer that was powerful but light and I found it

This 12" MacBook is awesome. I have moved from a MacBook Pro to this laptop and I haven't missed a beat. About half the weight and close to the same performance for the work I do. Superb machine!

light and easy to use

This is my first MacBook, it's light and well made like all the other Apple products I've used. it's user friendly and fast for daily use, If I have questions about certain function , just google and the answer is usually there. Like how the keyboard feel, and the whole unit's design. Only have gotten it for 1 months, will see how it preforms in a long run. Definitely an Apple fan now.

Excellent!

It is superb. I was concerned about the one USB-C port, but with the hub, it's an easy work around. Can't believe how light the MacBook is!!

Love the screen

A little smaller and about the same profile and weight as my 2011 MacBook Air, but with a bigger brighter screen 12" vs 11". Nicer keyboard and trackpad too. With a little care (not keeping the screen too bright etc) battery life is about 5-7 hours. Technology marches on. The single USB-C port worries me a little (I really thought the magnetic power cable on the Air was brilliant), but has so far has not caused a problem. Probably just an in-built bias - we'll see how it goes when I accidentally drag it of the table from a charger plugged into the wall ...

So light, so thin, very capable computer for everyday tasks. Quiet, and very clear bright screen. The only ding I give it is the single USB-C port.

I own 6 MacBooks, pro, air and regular. This is my go to when I'm on the couch or bed.. Highly recommended.

MacBook Light. Years ahead
Our goal with MacBook was to do the impossible: engineer a full-size experience into the thinnest, lightest Mac notebook yet. And not only is it compact - it's more powerful than ever. The new MacBook delivers up to 20 percent faster performance with new seventh-generation Intel Core m3 processor and up to 50 percent faster SSD storage.

More muscle in every millimeter
Now equipped with seventh-generation Intel Core processors, MacBook is snappier than ever. From daily tasks like launching apps and opening files to more advanced computing, you can power through your day thanks to faster SSDs and Turbo Boost processing.

We squeezed the most into out of it
Each component inside MacBook has been meticulously designed to get the most out of an incredibly thin and light enclosure. We chose powerful yet highly efficient processors and optimized macOS to draw on the processor using as little power as possible. Because no fan is needed to cool the computer, it has more room for battery cells to support you on the go, all day long.

Processor
Inside you'll find seventh-generation Intel Core m3 processor with 14-nanometer process technology. This lets MacBook expertly combine energy efficiency with the performance needed to take on all sorts of tasks.

Fanless architecture
MacBook was built for virtually silent performance. Its processor runs on just 5 watts of power, which generates less heat and eliminates the need for a fan to cool the computer. Instead, the logic board is seated on an anisotropic graphite sheet that helps disperse any heat. So you won't hear a thing while your MacBook is hard at work.

Storage and memory
Though its components are tiny, MacBook has an impressive capacity to store the files and run the applications you need every day. With 8GB of 1866MHz LPDDR3 onboard memory and up to 256GB of SSD storage, you get an amazingly thin and light notebook with snappy performance.

Battery
To achieve all-day battery life, we needed to use every millimeter of space inside MacBook. So we created an innovative terraced battery cell, custom shaped to fit the specific contours of the enclosure. The result is 35 percent more battery cell capacity than would have been possible before.

A Retina display that takes everything to the edge
The stunning 12-inch Retina display on MacBook is truly something to behold. With over 3 million pixels and edge-to-edge glass, every image leaps off the screen in rich, vibrant detail. All on an amazingly thin Retina display. To deliver the gorgeous Retina experience, we designed the pixels to create a larger aperture. This lets more light pass through, allowing us to use more energy-efficient LED backlighting, yet achieve the same vivid brightness.

A keyboard refined for an even better hands-on experience
We believe that a comfortable, full-size keyboard is an essential part of any notebook. To fit one into MacBook, we designed a keyboard from the ground up - including each key and its underlying mechanism. This makes the whole keyboard not only much thinner, but also more comfortable and precise, so your fingers feel right at home.

Enhanced butterfly mechanism. Key to the keyboard
Now, with our second-generation butterfly mechanism, the keyboard experience is refined for greater comfort and responsiveness. So when your finger strikes a key, it goes down and bounces back with a crisp motion that you'll appreciate the moment you start typing.

The Force Touch trackpad. Press a little deeper, do a lot more
The pressure-sensing capabilities of the Force Touch trackpad allow you to tell your MacBook what you want it to do based on subtle differences in pressure. Click anywhere to perform a variety of actions in different apps, all on the same surface, without lifting a finger. And the Taptic Engine provides haptic feedback that adds a sense of touch to what you see on the screen.

Multi-Touch. Precise control at your fingertips
Multi-Touch gestures make it easy and intuitive to interact with your MacBook. Scroll in any direction, swipe through web pages, pinch, rotate or Force click to unlock other useful capabilities.

Force click
Click and continue to press on the trackpad to enable new capabilities, like looking up the definition of a word, previewing a file in the Finder or creating a new Calendar event when you Force click a date in the text of an email.

Accelerators
Gradually add pressure to the trackpad to vary the speed with which you fast-forward through a QuickTime movie or zoom in on a location in Maps.

Pressure-sensitive drawing
Press lightly for a thin stroke or harder for a thick one when marking up a Mail attachment or creating a signature for forms in Preview.

Connect to everything you love. Anywhere you go
With powerful technologies in an incredibly compact enclosure, MacBook is designed to fit perfectly into a world where just about anything you do with a notebook can be done over the air. For those moments when you do need to plug in, USB-C packs a ton of capability into one small and convenient port.

USB-C. Singularly versatile
The USB-C port puts everything you need in a port all in one place. It provides charging, speedy USB data transfer (up to 5Gb/s) and video output in a reversible design that's one-third the size of a USB 3 port, giving you the flexibility to easily connect your favorite devices.

Fully equipped for a wireless world
MacBook takes full advantage of the latest 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 wireless technologies - and with innovative Apple software and services that let you get the most out of them, you can wirelessly connect to the web, transfer files, organize your photos, listen to music and more.

macOS
macOS is the operating system that powers everything you do on a Mac. macOS Sierra introduces Siri to Mac - along with new ways to enjoy your photos, shop more securely online and work more seamlessly between devices.

  • MacBook
  • USB-C Charge Cable (6.56' / 2m)
