Superb

I first bought a MacBookAir around 2012 and when it was time to replace it, I didn't even consider purchasing anything different. If you haven't used a Mac before, the adjustment is easy and wo well-worth the effort. No waiting for start-up, no freezing,no crashing. I carry mine with me every day and they are work horses. I use mine all day and all evening every single day. I would say the only shortcoming is there is no good substitute for Microsoft's Publisher. I have to create a lot of newsletters, booklets, brochures and photo manipulation but don't have the skills or budget for the professional desktop publication software. I will never use anything else.

Great price and great service from Adorama.

The MacBook air is perfect for me. I really needed a new computer for school and found this one was just what I needed for the price. I would have liked to have more storage but I simply bought more icloud storage space. The processor is fast, the computer is super thin, and light. Perfect for a college student that needs to use a computer for classes etc. I have not had any issues so far with the computer and I am very pleased with my purchase.

Excellent service, superb laptop

This is my third Macbook Air. I travel a lot, and in part of my work life I wear an author's hat. So the ease of use is huge for me. All the usual excellent design and innovation you expect from Apple.

so far the laptop is exactly what we are looking for

Purchased this MacBook Air recently and so far the laptop is exactly what we are looking for. This version retains the early style keyboard feel along with the connectivity ports that were important for us. It came with OSX Sierra which we immediately upgraded to High Sierra. To date it has worked extremely well. Thanks to Adorama for the prompt delivery and competitive pricing.

Feed Back

The MacBook Air is far too sophisticated for me as most of my use is word processing of Bible studies, emails and a little online searches. Therefore,i is very expensive for what I do. However,, having said that I have used Mac's from the very beginning so I am a loyal user.

Exactly what we expected. Great, efficient service. A price that was hard to beat. This is the second computer we’ve gotten from Adorama. They will continue to be our first stop when looking.

Meets my needs

By STANLEY L.

I’m very happy, with my new MacBook Air. It integrates well, with my other Apple products and affords my another means of shooting tethered.

Make big things happen. All day long
MacBook Air lasts up to an incredible 12 hours between charges. So from your morning coffee till your evening commute, you can work unplugged. When it's time to kick back and relax, you can get up to 12 hours of iTunes movie playback. And with up to 30 days of standby time, you can go away for weeks and pick up right where you left off.

Thin. Light. Powerful. And ready for anything
Whatever the task, fifth-generation Intel Core i5 processor with Intel HD Graphics 6000 are up to it. From editing photos to browsing the web, everything happens ultrafast. And all that power is encased in an incredibly thin 0.68-inch unibody design that weighs only 2.96 pounds.

802.11ac Wi-Fi. Effortless wireless
Instantly connect to an 802.11ac base station - including AirPort Extreme or AirPort Time Capsule - and experience wireless performance up to 3x faster than the previous Wi-Fi generation. 802.11ac also delivers expanded range, so you can work more freely than ever.

All systems go with SSD storage
The SSD storage in MacBook Air is up to 17x faster than a 5400-rpm notebook hard drive. So everything you do is snappy and responsive. MacBook Air even wakes up fast, thanks to SSD storage and fifth-generation Intel Core processors.

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.

Make the most of your day. From startup to sundown
Fifth-generation Intel Core processors in MacBook Air give you more time to do more things. Add that to an array of other smart and efficient features and you have an incredible amount of power in your hands. While carrying next to nothing.

Up to 12 hours of battery life. Power through your whole day
Thanks to compact SSD storage in MacBook Air, there's plenty of room for a big battery. Working together with the power-efficient fifth-generation Intel Core architecture, this battery can post some impressive numbers. MacBook Air gets up to 12 hours of battery life on a single charge. That gives you all-day power for surfing the web or watching iTunes movies. Put MacBook Air to sleep for more than 3 hours and it enters standby mode to conserve battery life for up to 30 days.

Fifth-generation Intel Core processors. Performance, meet endurance

MacBook Air is powered by fifth-generation Intel Core i5 processor. This ultra-efficient architecture was designed to use less power and still deliver high performance. Which means not only can you do whatever you want - you can keep doing it for longer than before. In addition, the Intel HD Graphics 6000 processor offers advanced performance you'll especially notice with games and other graphics-intensive tasks.

802.11ac Wi-Fi. The definition of fast

MacBook Air supports ultrafast 802.11ac Wi-Fi. When connected to an 802.11ac base station - including AirPort Extreme and AirPort Time Capsule - wireless performance is up to 3x faster than 802.11n Wi-Fi. And your Wi-Fi range improves as well. With Bluetooth technology, you can connect MacBook Air to Bluetooth-enabled devices like speakers and headphones. Even without all the wires, you're totally connected.

Fast SSD storage. Ready. Set. Done

Part of what makes MacBook Air so responsive is that it's designed entirely around SSD storage. Not only does this make MacBook Air much lighter and more portable than traditional notebooks, it also provides faster access to data. Available in capacities up to 512GB (This Model has 128GB), this PCIe-based SSD storage is up to 17x faster than a traditional 5400-rpm notebook hard drive. So when you flip open MacBook Air, it's ready to go right away. Even after a month in standby mode, the screen springs to life.

Thunderbolt 2 and USB 3. Make some powerful connections

Connect your MacBook Air to your devices and displays with a Thunderbolt 2 port that's twice as fast as the previous generation. But that's not the whole story. MacBook Air also comes equipped with two USB 3 ports, so you can connect the latest USB 3 devices and all your USB 2 devices as well. With just a few connections, MacBook Air transforms from an ultraportable notebook to a complete workstation.

Display, camera and mics. A sound vision

LED-backlit display. Millions of pixels. Millimeters thin
MacBook Air gives you 1440-by-900-pixel resolution on a display that measures a mere 4.86 millimeters (0.19 inch) thin. And LED backlighting makes colors bright and vibrant from edge to edge. So whether you're editing photos, perfecting a presentation or watching a movie, you're going to love what you see.

FaceTime HD camera. Stay sharp
Let your friends and family see more of you with the 720p FaceTime HD camera. Every smile looks bright, even halfway around the world. And the widescreen format means everyone can fit into the picture without having to crowd around the display.

Dual mics. They'll hear you loud and clear
The dual microphones in MacBook Air are great for when you want to be heard. If you're making a FaceTime call, for example, the mics reduce background noise from behind the notebook. And when you use Dictation, they create an adaptive audio beam that intelligently adjusts to detect your voice - instead of the noise around you.

Multi-Touch trackpad

It goes hand in hand with macOS
The Multi-Touch gestures in macOS make everything you do on MacBook Air more intuitive, direct and fun. And the spacious Multi-Touch trackpad is perfectly designed for them, whether it's a three-finger swipe to activate Mission Control or a four-finger pinch to see all your apps in Launchpad. Gesture responses are smooth and realistic. So when you're scrolling up and down a web page or swiping from one full-screen app to another, it's almost like you're touching what you're seeing.

Click
Press down anywhere to click. Or, with Tap to Click enabled, tap the trackpad.

Double-click
Press down two times anywhere. Or, with Tap to Click enabled, double-tap the trackpad.

Tap to zoom
Double-tap the trackpad with two fingers to magnify a web page or PDF.

Two-finger scroll
Slide two fingers up or down the trackpad to scroll through documents, websites and more.

Swipe to navigate
Flip through web pages, documents and more like thumbing pages in a book.

View Mission Control
Swipe Upon the trackpad to get a bird's-eye view of everything running on your Mac.

Backlit keyboard. What you see is what you type
As incredibly compact as MacBook Air is, it still manages to fit a full-size keyboard that makes typing as natural as it is comfortable. And the keyboard is backlit, so you can type with ease in even the dimmest light. A built-in ambient light sensor detects changes in lighting conditions and adjusts the display and keyboard brightness automatically. From a seat in a sunny caf to a seat on a cross-country red-eye, you'll always have the perfect lighting for any environment.

iCloud. Your content. On all your devices
iCloud stores your content and lets you access your music, photos, calendars, contacts, documents and more from whatever device you're on. So if you take a picture with your iPhone or make changes to your meeting schedule on your iPad, iCloud makes sure everything appears on your Mac, too. And it works both ways - create a to-do list on your Mac and you can make edits to it on your iPhone.
