I was nervous at first given all of the negative feedback out there about Apple using a "Mobile" processor but ordered it anyways after seeing that the pass mark scores were as high as other recent "Full" i5 processors. There are a few annoying bugs with the Macbook (keyboard!!!!) but overall this has all but replaced my $3,700 Macbook Pro for daily use. It will do just about everything you need unless you are running a bunch of virtual machines, encoding 4k video, etc. That having been said, I've used both Motion and Final Cut Pro on it with ease! Render times are of course longer than something with a dedicated GPU or a current top of the line i5 or i7, but overall, this laptop has become my daily work worse. - Need to bang out a blog post? Macbook. - Need to install a new theme or work on a theme for your WordPress site? Macbook. - Need to check Facebookand find out why Jim cheated on Lisa? Macbook. - Need to write a school report? MACBOOK! Honestly, my largest complaint right now has more to do with the fact that I can't find a dongle that does everything I want, which brings up an important point. If you buy a Macbook, you are signing up for USB C from the start. You know what you're doing so don't hold the need for a dongle to use other hardware against Apple. If it's that big of a deal, buy a quality used Macbook Air. But after months with this unit... It's really not a big deal. At the end of the day, the only major shortfall remains this odd keyboard. However, I have a desktop workstation setup for this laptop with a desktop keyboard, monitor, and mouse - problem COMPLETELY solved for any major typing I need to get done.Read full review

I use it to edit vlogs in imovie and always have plenty of apps open at a time and it preforms just fine. I havent had any issues with it and if your hesitant about getting it because of the m5 processor dont wait because it is just as fast as any mac ive ever used. The keybord isnt really an issue for me but it is shallow and you get used to it quick. Plus the gold is really pretty and if you have a gold iphone it will match. Love it!

I’m a hardware guy, so when I read the specs of DDR3 ram, a m5 processor, I think this thing is going to be slow. Boy was I wrong, apparently Apple has done it right with their OS. Task seem to complete, programs open without hesitation. I had a windows 10 computer with far better specs than this, and it can’t keep up with this little guy.

Perfect size MacBook for me. I needed something small and light weight, and this is definitely it! Very happy i went with this model. Works great also.

One of those things that you see in a photo and read about but when you actually have it it is 100 time better than the description. Like a new Lincoln with all the bells and whistles. Ver user friendly as well!!
