– Easy to learn and navigate,
Pros:
-Brilliant display. It’s very bright. The keyboard is lit so that helps with late night homework.
– Easy to learn and navigate. Even with non-apple products. I downloaded word and it works great on this mac, as does PowerPoint.
– Lightweight. This thing is so easy to carry. In my undergrad I had a traditional laptop, and it was so heavy to carry on campus. I have this one in a small sleeve and it is very easy to transport back and forth.
– Quiet – this thing does not make a lot of noise when typing. The key stroke isn’t as deep, so the click isn’t as loud, which is nice when you’re in class taking notes.
– Excellent sound system – its speakers are clear and LOUD. Great for when you just have to have an impromptu dance party while making dinner with your kids 🙂
– Good battery life – I use this thing daily, and have to charge it about once a week, maybe twice a week depending on how much late night surfing I’m doing.
– Fast – it has great processing time. I’m constantly taking pictures on my phone and airdropping them to the MacBook Air (what can I say, my cloud is already full!). It takes literally seconds for this thing to download 35+ pictures.
– it has a USB port still. The newer MacBook Pro does not, which would drive me nuts!
Cons
I will say it can be a bit cumbersome to use the pad. I like a traditional mouse better, but this is easily resolved by attaching a wireless mouse (which I have for this computer – thank you USB port!)
It doesn’t have a CD drive (bummer for watching dvds/playing cds)
Overall I’d say the quality is very good. As a student I am happy with the feautures and the fact that it is so easy to carry around with me.
