Cosmo Kramer "The Real Peterman" (Los Angeles):
I've owned three iBooks. The clamshell was a sturdy design, but heavy and limited. My G3 iBook 800 was great, worked well, but the screen was a little small (dense) and it didn't quite fit on the lap. Plus I wasn't a fan of the drive tray. So this new design is far better. It is much sturdier. They replaced EVERY material in construction for the better, improved battery life, and it is much faster. It might just be the perfect laptop at any price. For most people, it can even replace a desktop. Comes with tony hawk, plays beautifully. All other apps I have work perfectly, airport extreme is faster than airport, and keyboard is MUCH better (no longer squishy, better feedback). You will not regret buying this machine. Not sure that the 1GHz is worth the extra money. This model hits the sweet spot.
Carolina Kipnis (New York City Area, USA):
This little beauty came into my life around Christmas, and she and I have been inseparable since then. I ordered it directly from the Apple Store Online, and I had it maxed out on RAM, and had the optional 60G hard drive installed. I love the processor speed, immense capability, and versatility. The screen size makes it a suitable replacement for a desktop computer.
I do everything on this computer: word-processing, spreadsheets, music transcription, photo editing, Internet communications, audio editing, and managing my music collection. I have Office X, Sibelius, and iLife 2004. I run iTunes in the background, write a report integrating Excel and Word, plus can have all my pictures handy on iPhoto. I can have five or six applications running at the same time (not including iChat and MSN Messenger, which are ALWAYS running), and the processor doesn't even hiccup. I use an iPod 40G as an external hard drive (not to mention all dem kewl tunes!), and have a Canon PowerShot A80 digital camera, and an iMic audio converter. Add to that an AirPort driven wireless network and a laser printer, and you have an ultra-powerful home office for any kind of occupation, from music composition, culinary research, to communications-based businesses.
Although larger and heavier than the 12" iBook, I believe the 14" screen is definitely worth the extra weight and price. If you get it, the wireless card (AirPort Extreme) is a must. The optional built-in Bluetooth module is nice, especially if you have a compatible PDA or cell phone.
I didn't realize I would love owning a laptop. Until I met this one.
Phillip Lovgren (Shelton, WA United States):
Looks like Apple hit a home run with this one. This has been the best upgrade since my LC. With Panther my 933 is one fast machine. I downloaded US Army and it runs that with no problems. Max out the memory and get Apple Care. With broadband this one great appliance.

Apple MacBook Air MD712LL/A 11.6-Inch Vouchers
Derek :
This laptop is simply awesome, I started out with the Macbook pro and it seemed to be the perfect fit for my type of day. However, I switched to the MacBook Air a few days ago, and I regret not having one before this. This is the perfect laptop for any incoming college student, or professional looking for an easy carry to work or class. This laptop is light, functional, and the design looks phenomenal. There is not one thing I would change about this product. Perfect size for an airplane, car ride, work, or a trip to class. This is an awesome piece of technology and I give it 5 stars, you are selling your self short if you don't consider this as one of your first options, it has everything you could possibly need in a laptop and more.
Manuel Mueller (Springfield, MA):
I was looking for a new laptop that would be primarily used for travelling. For this purpose it had to be light, compact and have a great battery life.
Initially I wasn't looking into Mac's as I was always more familiar with Windows than with MacOS and never had any problems with the OS from Microsoft but the advertised 12 hour battery life of the 2013 MacBook Air convinced me to give this one a try and I did not regret it.
The real battery life that you will get per charge will heavily depend on what programs you are running. When using programs that are very CPU/GPU heavy, combined with maximum display brightness you will likely get about 4-5 hours.
However, I use this Mac primarily for working with MS Office programs like Excel and Word as well as for surfing the web, and under those conditions the battery does indeed last for 11-13 hours per charge.
The compact form factor allows the use of this Mac even when you don't have a lot of space available (i.e. Economy Class seats), and the spectacular battery life means that you don't have to worry about the battery running out even when you are on long flights.
I can fully recommend this MacBook Air to anyone who is looking for a reliable mobile computer that will be primarily used for working/media/surfing, if you are looking for a mobile gaming machine you are likely better served with a Windows laptop as the selection on available games is fairly limited on the Mac.
zacklee "Zacklee" (Canada):
Pros:
-great size very thin and not heavy
-quality of product construction. Wow is it made well
-super quiet fan hardly ever runs
-never had to switch off to reboot. Mac programs are amazing.
- Super fast on and off. Never had that on my PC's
Cons:
- price is expensive compared to PC (but totally worth it)
Now I know why Apple users get so religious about their Macs. Amazing how stable the Mac platform is. Will be a long time before I ever try a PC again.
All I can say is love my MAC!!!!!!

Apple Macbook Air MD231ll/A 13.3-inch Vouchers
MJ Reviewer :
It's light, it's durable, and, as Apple states, it's ready for anything. The MacBook Air is back for another generation and keeps a slender aluminum skeleton. It's sleek, dazzling, and fits just about anywhere. Typing in the dark isn't a problem with its stunning backlit keys and bright, energy-conserving screen. It's very light and "airy", specially considering the fact it's made of metal. It's convenient, has a long battery life, and is undeniably a minuteman underneath its glamorous shell.
Coming from Windows, I'll be honest and say that taking on a Mac was a daunting challenge. The interface was completely foreign to me, and I'd never so much as touched a Mac before. I knew absolutely nothing about it and yet, just on the first night, it became so easy to use. Mission Control and Launchpad are outstanding features that I wish my PC could have. It makes navigating so much more simple, and you can easily find what program you want when you want it. This computer obviously wanted to make a good impression, and that it did. I was no longer terrified of the glory that was Apple's MacIntosh, and I was so glad I gave it a chance.
This computer is perfect for anyone, really, especially the Windows fanatic that needs to be proved wrong at times. A MacBook Air is just as simple to use as your home PC and makes typing comfortable. MacBooks are built for the modern business world and aren't afraid to join hands with an unorganized owner. It never moves slowly in the morning and again, can be for anyone who's willing to give it a shot. I would most definitely recommend it to anyone who knows how to take care of it.
G. Stant :
With the great discounts that became available "black Friday," I took a chance and purchased this great 13 inch laptop primarily for travel work. I had been relying on my iPad the last several years for these needs. But there are just some things that can be better done on a reasonably small laptop rather that an iPad. I quickly fell in love with this laptop and while I have an iMac desktop at home, I find myself often resorting to this MacAir as it is just plain fun to use.
I bought this unit as I could get the 256 solid state drive and it has a SD input slot. I bought a 32 GB fast SD card and formatted it for Mac (not necessary but I did it anyway) to use for data storage. I placed it in the SD card slot on the side of the laptop. I also use Dropbox for data storage whenever necessary as well. Consequently storage or "drive" size has been no problem.
I cannot say enough good things about this computer. But I must admit that one of the factors that makes it almost perfect is the Apple ecosystem that permits all of my systems to stay in complete sync whether they be my iPad, iMac, this MacAir, or my wife's iPad or MacBook Pro. I worked in Windows for 35 years, often with multiple computers to maintain. Nothing has been as easy as I now have it.
I maintain several web sites which is much easier on the laptop when away from my home base.
Richard Vitale (Florida):
I've been a Mac User since 1987. My first was a ci and between my wife and myself (and work) we've had about 12.
I had the first Titanium (2001) and have had nothing but Laptops since then. I nursed along my work PowerBook G4 for 6 years (2 years since I retired).
I was not impressed with the first MacBook Air's but this 13.3" (newest version) is spectacular.
Photoshop-No Problem, Microsoft Office-No Problem, VM Fusion (running windows 7)-No Problem. Google Chrome, Great-I'll only use Safari on my iPhone.
When the price was reduced to $1139.95 and no tax (I live in FL.), with the money I saved I bought the Air SuperDrive.
What more can I say--I'm in heaven--but not with Steve Jobs.

TopCase PINK Crystal See Thru Hard Case Cover for Macbook 13" 13.3" Vouchers
kristen :
there are pictures that show both the cut out circle and cut out apple. since the other review said they got the apple i assumed all cases were the same. i was wrong. i got the cut out circle which i am not at all happy about. the case also doesnt even fit the computer. it doesnt allow the top to close all the way and it doesnt fit in the corners. there is nothing in the back keeping the bottom half on so it just slides off. while it has a hole for the battery indicator, its useless. you cant see the lights. i am not happy with this case at all and would not recommend it to anyone.
Shann "Mama Shann" (Orange County CA):
I have no clue why others did not give better reviews of this product. First of all these covers run about $30 in stores and are hard to find for first gen Macs...second of all any true Mac lover wants to protect their shiny mac at all costs....that means any little minor detail is not important if it protects the beauty of your Mac....This case fits very well on my Mac. It does not slip or come off when using it. It can be hard to take off when you have to get into the battery case or such. There are lined openings to allow for ventilation and overheating and to keep your mac from running hot. I think the maker of this case was a Mac lover because the important features are all there. I have yet to have my Mac overheat because there is not proper ventilation. There is a hole so you can press the battery button to check your battery level without having to remove the case, there are proper 'hooks' (so to speak not sure what they are called) to keep the case on the computer while being used, carried or stored....I really like this case and I have no clue why the other people gave it low ratings. Mac lovers should buy this!!....the other people who just have Macs '
'just because' should just go buy a skin to slap on the case....or better yet, why even get a case?...apparently protection is not the main concern you have...p.s. i bought the little pink keyboard case also-I could tell by the item description it was not included-it is awesome also!
K. Grady (Aurora, CO):
Fits perfectly, looks awesome, and matches the pink keyboard! Makes my computer look fabulous!
Fast ship & great quality! Very hard to find a cover that fits the A1181, but this is it!

GMYLE(R) 3 in 1 Robin Egg Blue Turquoise Matte Rubber Coated See-Thru Hard Case Cover for Aluminum Unibody 13.3" inches Macbook Pro Vouchers
Ray Shay :
I love how perfectly the cover fits, and having a screen protector and keyboard skin included in the purchase was a great bonus (and part of the reason I purchased it in the first place). My only complaint would be that the printing on the keyboard skin doesn't completely line up with the keys, so when the keyboard is lit, the letters/print seems blurry. Again, this only happens when the keyboard is lit, so it's really not a problem or an issue, and it certainly doesn't impair my ability to type or see which button I need to press. I also love the color!!
becca:
I love the color, the way it fits, the fact that it comes with a screen protector...its awesome for the price! My only problem is with the key board cover, i find it doesnt fit to the keys perfectly, and it makes it more hard to type.
But overall I definitely recommend this!
Nat B:
I just received this case and I absolutely love the color. It fits perfectly on my laptop. It does apper that the bottom of this is a different texture than the top. The top is a little more rubberized where as the bottom appers to be hard plastic. Either way I still believe this will be a good protective barrier for my computer and like it a lot.

Apple Macbook Vinyl Decal Sticker Vouchers
Kaputabo (Los Angeles):
What can I say, ever since I put this on my Office 15.6 macbook retina, i have received countless admiring looks and comments from people at office. For those who are wondering why would anyone pay money to get a laptop sticker this should be enough to convince them. It looks that great. I love the outdoors and animals and the theme of the decal goes well with the type of person I am.
Also the seller is great to work with. I had a slight tear on the decal and they send me a replacement immediately.
Pavel:
2 giraffe and 2 elephants are living on my mac now. Very pleasant to read Thank you on the package.
Also i got 2 additional decals, but they are not suite for my composition. Whatever - Thank you.
cool pri "pri" (NC USA) :
Bought this for my DH - It had good set of instruction along with small practice decals. It went on smoothly and looks great

This is such good deal. It fits perfectly on my laptop. It looks/feels so beautiful. Also, the key/screen protector is on point!!!
Definitely buy this product!
Kim Cole :
I love this product. I bought it two days ago and it shipped quickly. I had no problems snapping the case together. The keyboard looks great with it! the screen protector is a plus. I just hate how it bubbles but then again they all do that. The color is exactly like the picture. It still slim enough to fit in the slip I bought before the case so that is a plus as well. I deff suggest this product to anyone looking for something awesome.
Angelica Castellanos:
Im loving the hard aqua blue case. It's a great look and protects my macbook from scratches. and also the fact that it came with a screen protector is a plus!! I wasn't crazy about the keyboard cover but non the less I got a great deal! Happy gal here!

This is a great simple graphic that ads some character and whimsy to anyones Macbook.
VERY EASY to apply and sticks well.
Make sure you clean the surface well with a little rubbing alcohol before applying your new graphic.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Daniel:
The decal is amazing, and Yadda Yadda Design Co. is the best seller. Ever. You'll see. The decal looks much better in person, even though it looked great online to begin with.
A M:

GMYLE(R) 2 in 1 - Pink Frosted Matte Rubber Coated Rubberized See Thru Hard Snap On Case for Apple 13.3" inch Vouchers
weksa12 :
I noticed a lot of 1 star reviews on this product - so I wanted to chime in with my 4 star point of view
My new mac book is very happy to be in this perfectly pink hard - shell! I don't worry about scratches or getting stuff on it - the color is definitely pink - and the keyboard cover (which I wasn't intending to use when I bought it) fit so well and looks good that I never take it off.
Maybe the use of the word 'rubberized' in the product description is a little off -- but if you actually read the specs on what you're buying - you should know what you're getting!
I wouldn't say you're safe to drop your mac book - even with the case on - but for preventing normal wear and tear - this is good protection for a great price!
VV :
Very cheap looking PLASTIC material, not "rubbish" as described. One down side is bad but whats worst is the package came without the protective keyboard skin!! Very disappointed!
bologs:
I received a peach colored case instead of what was described in the item description. The case and the keypad are not matching. The keypad color is correct - light pink, but the casing is disappointing.

Apple iBook G3 500Mhz 128MB 10Gb CDROM 12.1'' OS X OFFICE 2004 Vouchers
The Chach (Highlands, NJ):
This little white computer rocks. Don't know where they got them from, and how they are able to sell them for so cheap. I hope they didn't fall off the back of a truck. (Just Kidding.) I'm very impressed, though. I've been a Mac user for 8 years. This is just another example of Macs great craftsmanship. I would suggest this Mac to anyone who wants to have everything and be up-to-date in the Mac world without paying $1,2000 and up. There's only a few minor suggestions I have: download the newest software after installing Mac OS X Tiger (It costs about a $100 bucks.), google search Firefox and install it, and go to apple.com and search in the support section for this Mac, iBook G4, so you can get the user's manual. That's about it, and it will be running like you paid $1,400 for it.
And where are the blemishes!!??? I didn't see any. Awesome deal, awesome Mac. You guys rock!!!
Thamica McCook (Austin,Texas, USA):
This computer is byfar the BEST laptop I've ever had. Being a college student it was imperative that I find something cheap but good. And the fact that I was able to find a Mac at such a low price still amazes me. I got mine today and it works like a dream! You can surf the web incredibly fast. Save alot of music, plays dvd's nice and crisp. Wireless is very simple and easily acessible. I just love it and I would recommend it to anyone!
Ps. This laptop would be perfect for a college student!
Keri Lamle "Made4MeMac" (Colorado Springs, CO United States):
Great kids computer esp kids in elementary school it cannot be upgraded to Leopard but it can run tons of kids educational software Microsoft Office 04 and be used to get on the internet. Great for email use, watching dvds, and burning custom cds. Great starter mac.

Thamica McCook (Austin,Texas, USA):
This computer is byfar the BEST laptop I've ever had. Being a college student it was imperative that I find something cheap but good. And the fact that I was able to find a Mac at such a low price still amazes me. I got mine today and it works like a dream! You can surf the web incredibly fast. Save alot of music, plays dvd's nice and crisp. Wireless is very simple and easily acessible. I just love it and I would recommend it to anyone!
Ps. This laptop would be perfect for a college student!
Keri Lamle "Made4MeMac" (Colorado Springs, CO United States):
Great kids computer esp kids in elementary school it cannot be upgraded to Leopard but it can run tons of kids educational software Microsoft Office 04 and be used to get on the internet. Great for email use, watching dvds, and burning custom cds. Great starter mac.

TopCase Spring Green Rubberized Satin Hard Case Vouchers
paf:
Great color vibrant and fun. Doesn't stay on computer very well. From the pictures on line thought it would fit differently. I like it enough to keep using it. Mouse pad not needed and wasteful.
Amy :
I LOVE MY LIME GREEN COVER!!! IT KEEPS MY MAC CLEAN AND FEELS SOOOOO SMOOTH, I ALSO LOVE THAT YOU CAN SEE THE APPLE THROUGH THE COVER!!
MatthewJD:
Had this on my Mac since Oct and makes it look good however the rubber bumpers on the bottom came off (not a big deal) and the corners are cracked on both the front two corners on the bottom part. Not a big deal. Removed it the other day and the Mac looks brand new, so does its job!!!

ZAGGkeys PROfolio+ Keyboard Case Vouchers
Fabien Papleux "Fabien" (Celebration, FL) :
I've been looking for a long time for a good solution to be more productive with my iPad. The on-screen keyboard is alright but you can't work on that for any extended time. Then it seems that most solutions are either hideous, bulky or just not portable. This, however, is perfect. It protects the ipad. The keyboard is really thin. It definitely adds to the weight but that's a given. The keyboard is very comfortable and the keys respond very well. You get used to the special keys very quickly (home screens, play/pause, volume, ...)
Ozzy Baxter :
After trying to pair this keyboard unsuccessfully with two different iPads (3 & 4) and trouble shooting according to Zagg instructions quick Internet search confirmed that this defective product's problems are well known in several discussion boards including Apple's. Supposedly new ones coming out corrected this but you have no way of knowing if you receive new product because no distinction was made. Mine is dead on arrival, and now I have to pay to return. No more Zagg nor Amazon for me for electronics.
Nicholas Bach (Palm City, FL):
Bought the Pro+ directly from Zagg. I had ordered a Zaggfolio under their close out, but it was out of stock, so they offered 30% off on any product, and I sprung for the Profolio+. The keyboard is nice and works well, even with my large hands. It does add a bit of weight, but not too bad. While it is not hard to remove the iPad from the case, it is not as easy as the screen cover styles, so think about what you are looking for in a case. Charge definitely lasts a long time, and the function keys are useful. I'd like to see the arrow keys have a bit more functionality than they do, but that is a nit. Also, the keyboard will fold back on the iPad, but doesn't fold directly behind it. In other words, the keyboard doesn't fold back at the seam between the iPad and keyboard, but rather at the seam that is about 1/3 the way up the back of the iPad. All in all, a good, useful purchase.

Apple Laptop Powerbook G4 A1095, 15", 1.33GHz, 512MB RAM, 60GB HDD Vouchers
Reginald:
I needed a laptop to keep around the house to surf the net and to business on. This laptop is great. If you are looking for a great laptop I would strongly consider. Shipment was fast and easy.
Cons: Its outdated software cant be upgraded
N. D. Jones (northern Illinois) :
Sure the GPU might over heat and die (like mind did), or become desoldiered- but logic boards are $50 on eBay. While you are at it, you probably can upgrade from 1.33GHz to 1.5GHz. I like this computer, it's just old enough to have an Appletalk port and modem, and theoretically communicate with my ancient macs, but new enough to use the Internet and archive old data on an external hard drive. If you are like me and don't care much about intel macs, and still regularly use os10.5 and older, then give it a try.
Marlon Dale Barnes Jr.:
IT IS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT THIS COMPUTER!
Especially for 300 bucks!!! You did it again, Mr Jobs. From the grave, no less!
Who cares if the hard drive is 60 gb there's so much online storage now and everyone has at least 1 external hard drive.
with that much ram you can run, like a billion processes at once like a BAWSE no slowing down here, just gogogo!

Acer C710-2834 11.6-Inch Chromebook Vouchers
Stephen Aforismo:
I only purchased this a week ago, but I find this an amazing piece of machinery. I am astounded how fast the internet is on this and I like Google Chrome. I switched over from IE because I was getting tired of the constant error messages and having it close all the time. I'm glad I did, it's easier to use and very stable. I have an Acer Netbook from two years ago that is great, but slowing down even with 2 GB of Ram. I decided to use that as my "Windows" laptop and use this Chromebook for web-surfing. I even use the trackpad because it is the best I have ever used. It works perfectly, and I have come across some really bad trackpads in my day. I know that this is not for everyone but if you have a main desktop or laptop and want a supplemental computer for really fast web-surfing, this is the way to go. You won't be disappointed.
D. Lazarovic (Miami, Florida):
I bought this as an extra computer to have around the house. The biggest weakness is the inability to print unless your using a google cloudprint enabled printer. If you want to have an extra computer for the kids or guests to use, one that can't get messed up (no viruses, no settings to change), and you only want to spend $200 this is a good product.
Rizzle :
Purchased because I wanted a second machine for checking email and browsing youtube. Works great, super fast, tried to install Ubuntu but for some reason the internet would not work =(. However I will not hold that against it.
I do love how light it is, it runs quiet, and starts from a cold boot in about 25 seconds (I'm not kidding), screen color is vivid and video play back (@720P res..) is flawless.
These are limitations of the machine, not downsides!
- Battery life is short, not suprising in something this light.
- O.S. use is limited offline (Well.. lets be honest, its useless w/o an internet connection!)
SO... If you just need a fast little machine that does about what a tablet does, you'll probably like this.
IF you're one of those special people that can't read the description and think you're getting a full blown laptop, you're probably going to be disapointed.

Kuzy - AIR 13-inch Vouchers
Mike Morrison (Christchurch, Canterbury, NZ) :
Great product that fits the Mac Air perfectly. Has sufficient clips to hold case on firmly. Rubberised finish to the plastic makes it less likely to slip from your grasp. All in all 5 Star product at a great price
SDJ "Teacher Bear" (Florida):
I was hesitant to purchase after reading the reviewer that stated it didn't fit. So, being the wise consumer I am, I e-mailed the seller who promptly responded to my e-mail and told me it is for the the Macbook Air and if I wasn't satisfied I had 30 days to return.
I bought it Monday and I got it today! It feels awesome, and the quality is so much better than Speck of which I have already gone through 4 cases in a year!!! Yes 4!!! And had to pay return shipping everytime it cracked to get a new one. Not cool! Needless to say, we shall see how this holds up, but already it feels stronger, whereas said brand case usually had a crack within an hour of use and I take VERY good care of my case.
Did I mention the Tiffany blue color is really cute? The apple shows through in a nice glow. I really like it so far and the little feet on the bottom are a plus.
Happy Wife (Valrico, FL United States) :
I purchased this exact case cover in Black and it was Delivered April 20th, so I am pretty sure this is from the same manufacturing lot as the the one reviewed on May 1st which is negative.
I noticed that SHOPPER who wrote that review, posted it to every single color of this unit - doing it TEN TIMES. Not sure if that was an Amazon thing or the writer doing it 10 times. But I am 100% sure that review was written by a competitor to this Kuzy cover! I also noticed that it is the ONLY review written by Shopper. I am a real buyer and I want to correct the record since this was the only review at the time of my noticing this.
I purchased this for my daughter to take to college. She wanted Black becuase it is "sophisticated and NOT pink". She took the cover, rejected my offers to "help" and just snapped it right into place. Wow - very EASY and not at all what the one negative review said.
Daughter likes that the clear Apple part of the cover allows the Apple light to shine thru.
I like that the cover protects while ALSO giving it a slightly rubbery feel which I hope will keep it from being knocked off of her desk. She was worried that if we did not get a smooth one, that it would be hard to take in and out of slip in cases. Not so. It is just barely rubbery - but enough. Not like a silicone case that would grab hairs and dust, etc.
We are BOTH very happy with this purchase.
BTW I also purchased several keyboard covers to help protect from spills. We are trying them all out and I will report when we decide how they compare.

Apple MacBook Pro MC374LL/A 13.3-Inch Vouchers
nutjob:
This is my umpteenth Mac and as usual, it's a very satisfying purchase. Although the styling of this laptop, with the dark hinge and keyboard isn't quite my cup of tea (and is a matter of taste), this machine is far and away the most solidly built. It feels like it would stop a bullet, and it probably could. It's reassuring rigidity gives it a feeling of quality and sturdiness second to none. For someone who man handles his laptop all day every day, this is very important.
To be seen over the next months and years is if the reliability of the machine is as good as its build quality.
One final, off-topic note on delivery: Amazon service has been excellent. Yes, their systems are not perfect, but their customer service has made up for it. I originally got an inexplicable delivery date, but a call fixed that.
R. Cosby:
i just picked one of these up and I love it. I have read reviews complaining that Apple did not try to cram an i5 or larger CPU into this 13 inch machine. True, the chose to use the Core 2 Duo but that's not all bad. This is a stable, cool running, capable processor. The machine now includes 4 G of ram and a much improved video card from the previous version. I use this mostly for work where stability, battery life, portability, and longevity are the most important things to me. I rarely play games. I wouldn't use a portable for video work when I have a desktop available. I run office applications, safari, email, ever note, and skype. It all works great. The machine feels substantial in my hands. Pick it up and try to twist it. It is perfectly rigid. My Toshiba feels like the battery would fall out if I twisted a bit more. This one feels well built. I especially like the backlit keyboard.
John B. (Colorado):
This is my fourth Mac and they keep getting better.I had some reservations about the glossy screen and even though it does reflect it works and works very well.I loved the matte screen but this has taken little time to accept and get used to.
Now,the track pad and this is impressive in that it is not a gimmick and eliminates so much clicking and dragging and fishing around for back buttons and the like.And all done with subtle gestures on the good sized trackpad.Be sure to activate the tap to click function so you can use this subtle method to click or secondary click or drag with one finger.No need to go up for a back button to go back page-just swipe three fingers.Desktop and expose can be activated by vertical swipes,etc.It even has a lighted keyboard for a poor typer like myself.
The case is of course milled from a solid piece of aluminum and along with the Mac OS this is a thing of beauty.Apple is to computers what Leica is to cameras so even though I never got that Leica I do have this Macbook Pro in my hand right now.Treat yourself if you can.

Apple MacBook Pro MD212LL/A 13-Inch Vouchers
yyyyy :
The reason I got it from Amazon was to avoid the tax that could cost me $100+. The good thing was on Thanksgiving the price dropped down to $1511, about $100 less than its normal price. It satisfies all my needs for a laptop-portable, fast, and beautiful. The resolution wasn't a big attraction to me initially, that is to say I would rather they had a cheaper mode with lower resolution. But after a few weeks i do feel it's worth it! My only complaint if any would be the 128GB hard drive. Of course there is a 256GB option, but the price is ridiculously high.
Mark Albala (Oakland, NJ USA) :
I have used an 11" MBA up to now, and one of the problems comes with age, the size of the computer is great, the size of the screen on the 11" MBA becomes more and more difficult to use. I therefore upgraded to the new 13" Macbook pro with the retina display. The compactness of the computer is important to me particularly for business trips and this computer does not disappoint. A one pound difference between the 11" MBA and this is little compromise for the change in the screen and clarity of the screen.
It is manageable as a laptop on a plane where the 15" is just too big. It is easily portable where the 15" is in my mind, just too big for business travel.
It is blazingly fast, no qualms, if you do go for this, I took the i7 option, I think it helps a lot, but many will argue with me. Dont skimp on storage, it will bite you at some point. I now have tons of storage to use for whatever, no more trying to balance all documents on flash drives.
My daughter is now using the MBA and she is thrilled with the new machine, and I am thrilled with the massive upgrade. Cheap, no, not by a longshot, but the best computer for the business traveler, bar none, yes.
Wadrop :
The retina MBP 13 is a significant improvement compared to my old MBP 13 I bought 2 years ago. It is thinner and lighter, somewhere in between the MBP and MBA I guess. The screen - BRILLIANT!! I have to admit I was blown away by the screen when I first started using it. Another major improvement is the speed - right from boot up speed (close to a zero boot up time from standby) to running applications. I don't do heavy graphics so can't comment on speed for advanced users, but you will find it more than satisfactory.
Two things that are lacking in this that I badly miss - optical drive (hard to install software without it for me) and ethernet port. I know I can get a Thunderbolt adapter but I'm running on WiFi for now. The machine itself put me back a few bucks, I'll try to avoid the added expense to the extent possible.

Apple MacBook Air MC968LL/A 11.6-Inch Vouchers
Goutam Sampathkumar:
I bought the base model Macbook air(999), as my budget didn't allow me to get the upgraded model. I also wanted a portable mac to carry around college.
I am blown away by the performance of this little fellow; it handles all the basic computing stuff with ease, and also iPhoto, iMovie very good. I have an iMac at home for heavy stuff, so if you plan on doing extensive video editing, this laptop is not a good choice. Laptop does get hot, even while doing basic stuff, but its bearable, and most importantly there is no fan sound (after playing around for 5 hours).
Update after 30 hours,
I was only able to get 3-3.5 hours of battery doing basic stuff, I mean only safari and mail, and also flash plugin switched off. I am very disappointed, as the laptop's performance was excellent except the battery.
charles:
I've been a long time PC owner and have always vowed to never own a Mac. I considered them overpriced niche machines with subpar hardware for people that had more money than sense. I'm ready to admit that I was very wrong. I was looking for an ultraportable for school and I just couldn't find one that I liked. Finally, I gave in to reviews and bought the MBA 11. I figured I'd try it out and return it if it sucked. Well, I'm definitely not returning it. I love this computer. It's sleek, super light, and performs perfectly. I have the base model, because for someone who only uses a computer to type papers and browse the internet, you really don't need much more. This beats every windows machine I've owned, even those with more RAM and bigger harddrives.
Doug Lash (Ohio):
I recently purchased my Macbook Air 11" and am very satisfied . The best thing about the new Mac is the compact size , I was able to trade in my old Macbook and my iPad 2 because I can do everything in this new Macbook Air that I could on the other devices. I guess my only complaint is that a few of the apps needed to be tweaked before they would work .

I'm ready to admit that I was very wrong. I was looking for an ultraportable for school and I just couldn't find one that I liked. Finally, I gave in to reviews and bought the MBA 11. I figured I'd try it out and return it if it sucked. Well, I'm definitely not returning it. I love this computer. It's sleek, super light, and performs perfectly. I have the base model, because for someone who only uses a computer to type papers and browse the internet, you really don't need much more. This beats every windows machine I've owned, even those with more RAM and bigger harddrives.
Doug Lash (Ohio):
I recently purchased my Macbook Air 11" and am very satisfied . The best thing about the new Mac is the compact size , I was able to trade in my old Macbook and my iPad 2 because I can do everything in this new Macbook Air that I could on the other devices. I guess my only complaint is that a few of the apps needed to be tweaked before they would work .
Apple PowerBook G4 - PPC G4 1.67 GHz - RAM 512 MB - HDD 80 GB - DVD?RW Vouchers
M. ANNE (california):
I have used my wonderful G4 17 inch screen for several years; upgraded the RAM to 2GB and run Photoshop, Lightroom, etc, with no problems. This is a cheap way to get a great computer with a huge, beautiful screen.
Anne:
Beta Mac has an a+ rating with better business bureau and I am pleased with their customer service. They put a new hard drive on the machine after and fixed a broken key. excellent company to work with
Mark Medina:
It's a bit old, but it's a good bang for your buck! The only thing missing was a built in iSight camera, but apart from that it's pretty good :)

APPLE MACBOOK UNIBODY ALUMINIUM LAPTOP LCD SCREEN 13.3" WXGA LED Backlight Vouchers
Drewbertt :
This is everything you need to replace your lcd screen on your macbook/macbook pro unibody. (Outer glass is sold seperately) Don't pay more than you need to. This is an awesome screen and I am very excited to have my Macbook back in working order! 5 stars for sure. Excellent service and amazingly fast shipping.
matt :
Installed it myself with some youtube video help. Was better quality than my old screen and it works 100 percent. Definitely should buy it.
themiddleliddell (North Carolina, US):
The day after I installed this LCD, a pixel burnt out near the center of the screen: it's bright red and shows up on dark backgrounds (e.g. much of Netflix). It may have been there all along but I didn't notice until I used a dark background. Now, three weeks later, another pixel just burnt out: this one is black. This means regardless of my background color I get a traveling dot of burnt-out pixel in the middle of my screen. The inconvenience is small compared to the broken screen I bought it to replace: I wasn't sure I'd be able to do that successfully, so I limited my spending on parts. Still, if I'd known that the burnt-out pixels would be this distracting, I'd have sprung for the more expensive LCD.

APPLE MACBOOK PRO A1278 LAPTOP LCD SCREEN 13.3" WXGA LED DIODE Vouchers
J. Pohl "electro geek" (Missouri) :
Screen came in right on time and went in without a hitch. The quality of the screen is the same as the original, maybe brighter. I am more than happy with my purchase. It was so quick to replace I wish I would have made a video to help out others doing the same thing. Thanks.
klausj "klausj" :
Fast shipment, well packed, relatively easy to assemble (if you know how to replace it), good quality, light display, similar to the original one.
I can recommand this spare part to others.

Was really distressed when I needed a new screen for my macbook but this one did the trick and is even brighter than the screen it replace.

GMYLE� Black Frosted Matte Rubber Coated See Thru Hard Shell Clip Snap On Case Skin Cover for Apple 13.3" Vouchers
sofia:
Just received the case, about 5 days after I ordered it (standard shipping). It clicks on really nicely, I love the color, it's true to the photo, and it definitely seems like it will protect it from dings and such. There was a very small blue inky looking dot-stain on the top piece, but nothing that is really worrisome.
Some people have commented on the apple logo not shining through with the hard cases, but mine definitely does (perhaps just due to the light color of the case).
I'll wait and see how it holds and, and re-review if anything else comes up, but it seems like it will work well, and I'm happy with the purchase!
Kimberly Michelle :
This product came in one week, which is pretty quick in my opinion. I wanted something to make my laptop cute, and recognizable (Everyone in my major has a macbook). Tiffany blue is my favorite color so I thought this would be a good choice. When it arrived it was exactly what I was expecting. The color is identical to how it's shown online. It clipped on easily and securely to my laptop. You can see the apple glowing through it. I especially like the rubberized feel to it, makes it easier to carry. I am very happy with my purchase.
Taylor5:
This case is perfect. It is a great rubberized texture and such a great color...at an AMAZING price!!
My sister bought a really expensive case and our cases are the same!
Fits my mac perfect, would totally recommend this to a friend!!

GMYLE(R) 3 in 1 Red Matte Rubber Coated See-Thru Hard Case Cover for Aluminum Unibody 13.3" Vouchers
Tousen71 :
I don't write reviews for products, if I like the product I don't typically need to say it. However, this case is pretty sweet. It back of your Macbook around the battery WILL be exposed when the laptop is closed, however when open it is completely covered and the chink in the cases armor is more aesthetic than anything. The red is bright Candy red but not over powering. It's very beautiful and the rubberized coating makes it easy to grip. Great case from a typical non-reviewer.
sara :
I love it it fit perfectly.The color is so nice.Keyboard cover is just as great, also the screen protector .Overall good buy,wise price.
fartley:
I am not one for writing reviews, but I wanted to chime in on this one. This case is very sweet! Snaps on in just a few seconds, and fits perfectly. Color is better than I expected. Kind of cool looking actually. I still love the looks of the aluminum case, but wanted protection from scratches. You can remove it in as long as it takes to put it on.
The lcd cover I have no use for. It doesn't need it. The keyboard cover fits perfectly but I don't like the red keys, so I took it off. Cover closed, it looks a neat red color, but when you open it, you get the same look like it is not covered at all. I like it!!
Price is even better. Two to three times the price at retail stores.
A great deal in my eyes.

Apple iMac ME086LL/A 21.5-Inc Vouchers
George McEneny :
I have a Mac Pro. This is much faster and it looks incredible. I bought this for my wife, to replace a 3 year old Dell Desktop.
We are very pleased. Easy set up.
Marvin Leung :
really I'm super surprised with this team is a team with no comparison, really everything works excellent addition to this product will add a memory of 16gb for increasing its capacity so it works really well, I can now give better quality to my work and client mus could be even more satisfied
Impedimentus "Impedimentus" :
This new 27" iMac is a great machine. This model has a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M graphics processor which should provide excellent video editing and gaming performance. I cloned OS X to a 250 GB Samsung 840 SSD that is attached to a Seagagte GoFlex Thunderbolt adapter. The iMac boots in less than 12 seconds from the Thunderbolt adapter. The Seagate Thunderbolt adapter is an inexpensive solution if you want SSD performance but don't want to pay Apple's premium for an internal SSD drive (you can use any SSD with the Seagate adapter). I previously had a Mac Mini that I installed an SSD into. The iMac has removed a lot of cable clutter from my desk, and the improved graphics card (the NVIDIA GTX 775M is a very high end card) has really added "zip" to my video and graphics applications. The dispaly is excellent. I'm not a gamer, but reviews of the 775M (see the NotebookCheck website) indicate that this is a really great graphics and gaming processor. This is one fantastic machine. I used to build PC gaming machines for my sons, and high end PC's for friends. I love thius machine and OS X - I'll doubt that I'll ever go back to Microsoft.
The two Thunderbolt ports give you a lot of options for very high speed I/O - looking forward to seeing more Thunderbolt products soon (finally!).
For those who might complain about the price, in my opinion, the new iMac is a case where "you get what you pay for".
One note on the USB 3.0 ports. Performance will vary greatly depending on the USB 3.0 enclosure used for external hard drives. With the same HDD enclosures I've seen variations of 60 GB/sec transfer rates with the same HDD - this is not an Apple issue - just don't expect good USB 3.0 performance if you are not using a "good" USB 3.0 device.

Apple MacBook Pro MD104LL/A 15.4-Inch Vouchers
sinclairvoyant (Austin, TX) :
I just want to issue a warning to people who purchase this product trying to save a bit over Apple prices. I paid for a new laptop, but was sent a used one. I received this item in the original box that had been resealed. While it appeared to be a new item, once I booted it up, it was already set up with an account of another user. I couldn't have used it even if I wanted to. I returned the laptop to Amazon and received a refund, however had it been properly wiped of information, I would have been sold a used machine and never have even known. I'm sure this is not an isolated incident, so buyer beware.
Benjamin Grol :
I am usually a fan of all things Amazon. They really screwed the pooch on this one. I ordered a new macbook and I got a used macbook, packaged in the very box that they originally sent to "Kim Nguyen". When I turn on the computer, the log-in reads "Kim Nguyen". A shipping label to "Kim Nguyen" is super-lamely covered up on the box. If you're going to try to sell me used merchandise as new, at least use a new box Amazon.
Do you want to pay full-price for an obviously used computer? Me neither.
I may be ending my consumer relationship with Amazon forever after this. Gross, nasty and shenanigans!
Pamela Sheppard (Abington, MA):
I bought this laptop last month and when I first received it there were updates to install. Two of the updates will not install because the computer is not recognizing me as the owner for those two applications (iPhoto and iMovie). I brought it to an Apple Store and they told me that there was a previous owner and the computer wasn't properly deleted and restored. I was given the option of having them wipe out everything on my computer to restore it as new or they'd have to keep sending me codes to maually update the applications. Not what I expected when I purchased this computer, especially for the amount of money I spent.
