"It's amazing..... battery last around 10 -12 hrs.....best laptop for students and
coders

"Finally a MacBook possession. Got it in 50k in Diwali sale. Technically good
laptop.Good News.luxury product, niche technology, good battery life, reliable
machine (other laptops crash and become defunct in 6-10 years), no anti-virus
required, security of data and transactions much better. Terrific sense of
possession & pride.Bad News. Problems will be there if you are switching from
windows based system - very less space in hard disk, no CD drive, inability to
transfer data from Mac to your existing external hard disc unless you format it,
apps are mostly paid and re unreasonably expensive (no free apps which are
available otherwise on google play store, even the angry bird costs Rs 400 !!), all
printers are not compatible (e.g. the most economical MFD laser printer RICOH SP
111 can't be used), huge compatibility issues with Pages (MS Word) and Keynote
(powerpoint) unless you master it by working on these (still mostly the document
and slides either do not open in windows environment or have distortion issues).
you need to spend extra for an external CD writer and tp buy a carry bag. Mac con
not be connected to most of the projectors unless you buy some connectors, which
are expensive and theres no clarity which one to buy and from where. you can't
connect it to your TV, the ports are different and again theres no clarity -
customer support, manuals or help section are silent ! Marketing strategy for
Indian market, if at all has been planned, has been very bad. If these critical
issues (and a few more not mentioned here) are handled properly, the Mac can sweep
away other laptops in India. Presently, it doesn't seem to be happening.Overall
Verdict.If compatibility issues mentioned above do not bother you, go for it. Else,
think hard. If its an emotional issue to own a long cherished Mac, then its a
different thing. Go ahead and gradually you would figure out most (but not all) of
the above problems, like I did.

"Best Laptop under 60k. If you don't want any accounting softwares like tally or
busy then go for it, better than windows in every term. I just love it's battery
life with sleek look 😍Now talking about MS officeIt's available on app store, free
for 1 monthAfter that you will have to pay.You cannot install pirated version but
if you install Windows 7 or any other version then u can use Ms office for freeBut
in MacBook there are other apps which are good substitute for Ms office appsNumbers
for ExcelPages for wordKeynote for PowerPointAnd you can convert your numbers file
to Excel file or csv fileSame for the pages & keynoteSo no need of Ms office for
me.Cons1. U cannot play games, your laptop will just heat up, battery will drain* U
cannot play pubg mobile on emulator if you are pubg lover😁2. Storage 128gb, it
will work fine but if you want to store movies or TV shows u can't, u have to buy
external hard disk

"Pros:1. Light weight and super fast response time2. Highly optimize which avoids
any kind of process lag.3. Beautiful looks and feels like a prime product.4. Long
battery life and awesome sound clarity5. Purchased during Amazon sale cost around
52k.Cons:1. Not enough memory2. Limited softwares available3. Operating system is
not that user-friendlyProbably one of the best option for 50k+ laptops

"I have been a Macbook pro user for last 2 years. I came across the new Macbook air
and got a chance to put hands on it. So here is a brief review on my first
impressions. Basically i will be comparing this with a regular laptop of similar
price range and Macbook PROAir benefits compared to Non Apple laptop:# Slim and
light weight for daily travel# 10-11 hours battery backup on normal usage# Apple
touch pads are awesome, smooth and responsive compared to any premium laptop# Audio
quality on speakers is good, but not as loud as my Macbook Pro 13# Apple front
camera works the best in low light, best for low light skype calls# SSD - Apps
launch very fast despite the low power processor# Metal body construction# Mag safe
charger- If you are really careless this helps very much.# Ambient light sensor
that adjusts brightness automatically ( Many people are not aware of this feature)#
Keep your Air closed or leave somewhere idle and check back after 2 or 3 days, you
will see battery has dropped less than 3 or 4 %# The best part - Mac OS, contains
all that you need, a neat calendar, Todos app, notes, Quicktime, Mail app etc.
Hassle free OSAir demerits compared to Non Apple laptop:# Performance is on lower
side# Good for basic usage only, internet, movies, video calls, spreadsheets, mail#
You will get better display(Full HD) if you buy a 999$ Ultrabook from US (In India
they come at premium)Should you consider Macbook PRO? - PRO advantagesI know a lot
of people might be confused whether to go with PRO for some additional bucks. So
listing benefits of pro from my experience# Force touch - More comfortable touch
pad, less finger pain compared to buttons on Air, Adjustable pressure# Retina
display - More pixels, Better viewing angle. Air is 1440x900 while PRO is 2560x1600
pixels# Better performance - Pro CPU is actually about 50% faster than AIR, but in
real world tests, apps launch at similar speed in both PRO and Air. The difference
is notable only when you run CPU intensive tasks like Programming, Video encoding,
Photo editing, Raw conversion etc. Those who are not into this can go with Air and
save some money.# Newer CPU - Macbook air has not evolved much compared to PRO. The
2017 Air uses the same fifth generation CPU as the previous version (2015). But
with a little upgrade in CPU speed. ie 1.6 GHz to 1.8 GHz. The newer PROs come with
7th generation Intel processors. The difference is mainly with the energy
consumption.# HDMI port - You don't need display port adaptor# New keyboard - The
2016 PRO has the same keyboard as the \"Macbook\". Keys are less deeper and more
wider. This makes it little more comfortable to type. Air comes with the same old
keyboard as 2015 PRO# Wider touch pad - Not a big deal. But if someone loves that,
its a bonus# Color options - Yes, Air is only available in Silver, PRO comes in 3
color optionsIf you think, all the above justifies the price difference between the
PRO and Air, go for the PRO. The only benefit that Air offers is battery life. PRO
offers 8-9 hours only, while Air offers, 11-12 hours battery.Whom Air is for?
Macbook air is not a gaming machine or for hard core users. Its for people who love
to watch lot of movies, work on documents, browse and some basic programming. When
i say programming, Xcode works fine on Macbook air. But Software like Android
studio, Photoshop seems to struggle a little on Air. But if you are once in a while
user of intensive apps, you can ignore this.I will update my review with more
details after a few weeks of hands on testing and usage. If you have any queries
leave a comment below. I will try to answer in a day or two.Thanks for reading!

"I am very upset about the product as I checked my MacBook 15 days back in
December, it didn’t start. It was luckily in warranty . I took it to the service
centre and they informed me the mother board and battery collapsed. If it was not
in warranty I had to pay 47000/. I asked for replacement of the product and I was
refused. They got it fixed for me. I don’t know why should I pay 57000/ for Mac
quality. If this is the quality and the service, then I have to go to other
product. In January my product expiry was due. They have give an extension of 3
months warranty when I had asked for 1 year. Very disappointed.
"
"Reason for 1 star is I ot an defective piece. The sound quality was not good . My
laptop started giving issues with power button from 4 months. The screen would
flicker and it would shutdown automatically after sometime. Took the mac to service
centre. They replaced the motherboard free of cost as it was in warranty. Now my
mac is perfectly fine :
"
"Got the Apple Macbook air on amazon discount sale.1) The OS is smooth and is a
breeze to work with. Ships with macOS sierra but update is available to macOS
mojave2) The design and build quality, as you can expect from an apple product is
top notch.3) Excellen sound quality, keyboard.Cons:1) 128GB may be low incase you
want to have movies and media in your laptop.You need to carry around a hard disk
that kind of nullifies the advantage of having a light weight laptop.2) Display
resolution is not exactly upto the mark
 "
"White line coming on screen in just three months of purchase from amazon. Doubting
the quality of the products sold on amazon
"
"Bought this product recently on 5 April, was working perfectly fine for few days
and on 16 April the Mac working charge or turn on. Apple service centre says they
can’t fix the product under warranty and amazon in try to come up with a solution
ever since , no solid answer . I m stuck with a dead mac after using it for 10days.
Request seller , Amazon or apple to take full responsibility.
"
"Hi, Think thousand time before buying. One calm night i was cuddling in jaipuri
blanket while enjoying youtube on this expensive machine. Cold night and little
excitement created electrostatic charge which spike though spaceBar button. that's
how it went to deep sleep forever. Nothing can bring it back and i am in no mood in
spending another fortune on this machine. Apple, of you (i)care, this is the least
of security feature included in all electronic devices. And the best part, it was a
week after Warranty expiration date.
"
"We buy macbook's expecting that it will lasts at least 3 years, not in my case
they are saying it will costs 46000rs to repair.. i bought this in 58000rs.. if i
don't want to repair it still I've to pay 2500rs as diagnostic cost.. not
recommended..
"
"I use this for music production and it works awesome..however the display is not
so good as it should have been in a 63k laptop
"
"Never purchase any Apple products. I bought 3 and start giving problems just after
6 months. I need to visit 4 times service station which is far 12 km. Again MacBook
start acting dead after 6 more months. Mean a top priced laptop giving problems in
every 6 months.I have good experiences with other brands of laptops. I hope this
comment can help to save somebody’s money.
"
"Good purchase of mineBest for programming...Only some heating issues...but can be
ignored!!
"
"I bought MacBook air in 2017, it was working fine till last month. It suddenly
stopped charging I took it apple care and was shocked to hear the feedback. They
told me that the motherboard is dead and i have to buy a new motherboard. The cost
was 50k ( i bought at 53k in 2017). We buy Apple products because they are meant to
be long-lasting. I am really disappointed and would prefer other companies next
time. They earn extra money from selling an extended warranty.
"
"Bought it on 9th July, stopped working / not turning power on by 4th Nov. Adding
to this disappointment is - Apple's refusal to repair it under warranty stating
that there is corrosion in Logic Board. Amazon also did not help. The seller -
Appario - does not like to be bothered with it. Sometimes I wonder if buying
electronics online is a good idea!
"
"I bought it last year from Amazon during Sale. It worked well for on year and then
suddenly stopped working. I am unable to switch it on. I took it to service centre
and they told that the logic board has to be replaced. The cost is around 45000. I
am helpless. I dont want to invest more into that. I used the laptop very carefully
but I think Amazon sent a defected piece on sale.

"Apple,apple,apple, thats the first thing that must have flashed in you mind when
you saw this product, so here i have a total breif review on the
laptop...***Pros***4k Video Editing with Final Cut Pro X on this thing works like
butter, there is heating issue that i am going to go to apple service center to get
it checkedEveryday works like checking mail and is just gr8The Battery is just
OVERPOWERED, works for around 11-12 hours on continuous work and 8-9 hours when
editingThe graphics card scores 30 fps in cinebench which is not that badThe
performance is also fine, 280 cb processor score on cinebenchSpeakers are really
good with perfect bassDisplay brightness is 300 nits, which is fineThe Wi-Fi is
extremely good, can get a network even from the living room while the router is in
the bedroomVery thin and lightweightMacOS is good for School work if you know all
the office applications for mac, for eg.Pages is WordMagSafe 2 is the best partGood
Trackpad and Keyboard with backlightThe Storage is fast!, thanks to the M.2 based
SSD!***Cons***Display, though the resolution is fairly good for a 13.3 inch
display, the viewing angle is not appropriate for a 84k laptopGets heated up (Going
to get it checked by apple support). Cooling not appropriate for this cpu, need a
better thermal paste and fanRam management on MacOS Mojave is not good, 8 GBs of
memory is not well distributed among all tasks running in backgroundMacOS is not
made for gaming, you need to boot camp on this mac with Windows if you are really a
hard-core gamerIntel HD integrated graphics at the price???, god damn it apple
(Though its not bad, have seen GeForce 940MX at the same price)No Force
trackpadBezels are way too thick in today's standardsNo thunderbolt 3 or Usb CCan't
detect Android Devices until Android Device Explorer is installedThe Storage is
less! (128 GB, will upgrade to 256 GB in a few years)***My Verdict***This devices
is for them who want Battery and Power, and people who want to do Video Editing on
Final Cut Pro X, if anyone has a heat up issue than you should Call apple Support
and visit one service center immediately to get your laptop checked! Though the
graphics is OK from my view, apple could have given better graphics like the radeon
vega 8 graphics or Intel Iris Plus or Pro for a laptop that is so expensive!
Everything else is Great! And MacOS is not that hard, i easily use both my Lenovo
Gaming PC and my apple macbook air easily! Go for it if you are in the criteria I
explained above! For hard-core video editing I would recommend atleast an iMac 4k
or MacBook Pro Base Model because of its cooling Fan structure, Better Graphics and
CPU! This Air is enough to edit 4k60fps videos but will slow down a bit in 5k60fps!
While exporting the 4k60fps video the CPU and GPU went up to 104 degrees, this is
the reason i am going to apple support! Thank You if you read the whole review
because I spent a lot of time writing this!*Update on 8 Oct, 2019*Apple service did
nothing, so I thought of doing my own service! Yes, I changed the thermal paste and
dusted the fan, now, everything is running even better than ever, even the heating
issua is solved! Now while exporting a 4k 60 fps video, it's just around 80
degrees, hence no thermal throttling, Yay!

"After using Windows Operating system for the past 10+ years, I switched to Mac.
The switch was inspired by the awesome reviews I got from my friends. I must say
that they were all real and that the device and the tech is so very impressive. Be
it the design, be it the processing speed, be it the battery life......all are way
ahead than that of a Windows device. I am satisfied to get the marvel of a tech in
my hands. It is saving my time every now and then as I am stricken with an idea to
pen a couplet, short story or poem.....I simply open the lid, note the idea and
then simply close it....no need of shutting the OS down everytime. Working
perfectly.
"
"MacBook Air is excellent. The build is super strong, the operating systems runs
smooth. The trackpad and keyboard are great. The only thing that can be improved is
its screen (the visuals). Not as good as expected. The hard disk is too small but
if you carry an external hard disk you can solve that problem. Got it at the price
of a Dell Windows laptop during Amazon sale. A great deal.
"
"Very handy laptop, light weight and portable. Mac OS is super cool. Battery backup
was good. Defective product recieved,within 2 months of use, laptop gets switched
off suddenly while on battery. Requires power input to restart again.Contacted
service centre, they told its motherboard problem and replaced motherboard under
warranty, but problem still persisting. Laptop still at service center. Earlier i
was using toshiba laptop, satellite 340,lasted 8 yrs without any problem. Paid a
premium for macbook air very dissapointed with apple quality of products. And to
repair it outside warranty, parts cost as much as the laptop itself🙄
"
"I was apprehensive of buying Apple product from Amazon as some reviews suggested
that imported items are being sold. However what I got was fresh and genuine
product, I checked warranty on Apple site with serial no. All serial no - on bill,
box, inner box and in macOS itself were consistent. Display is too good and it
feels like butter operating the device. Only thing is that price difference between
this and 256GB version is too much.
"
"I brought this mac air on sep 2017. From past 1 week I am not able to turn on my
mac, went to apple store and after troubleshooting they said it is having
motherboard problem and need to replace which cost 50k, I was shocked and said how
come in less than 2 year mac will have this issue. So kindly please beawre on this
big bug mac air.
"
"Don't want to mention anything for apple MAC book :)Super product
"
"I have my worst nightmare with the macbook air I bought. I bought it on theOctober
2018, it got into teouble in the month april 2019. It would turn was trying to
restart automatically. I then reoaired it from apple care. It again got dead and
woulnt turn onn. I put all the money into water. I dont know what to do with this.
"
"Everything about this product seems to be fine as of now. Got an option to upgrade
to higher OS and install tools required for my work. Except for not so good sound
quality while watching movies through itunes stores, other aspect seems to be fine.
Higher storage options (256 GB) may be required for power users who may want to app
development on this system. Current configuration suits light - medium heavy user(I
belong to this category)- (need xcode debugging feature for my projects ).
"
"I was looking for an affordable long lasting light laptop and my search led me to
this. I know Apple has launch a new Air but this is still a good performer and with
the recent price cut this laptop makes so much sense. I was using MacBook Pro for
last 8 years, and after it retired this replaced the Pro and is not doing a bad job
at it at all.
"
"This is the worst apple product I have ever seen ...6 month After purchase of
this fake book ...some of its keys of keyboard stopped working ...So the service
center replace my keyboard with the new one ...But after some months with the new
replaced keyboard some of its key again stopped working .All these things happen
in one year and 3 month timeline which is roughly 1.5 years of original purchase
date ... ...When I spoke to the service center they told me that the warranty is
over you need to pay 12000 rs ...So I don't have any option. The cost is too
high. ..So now I m working with the external keyboard which cost me merely 200
rs ... My friend bought the same macbook from the showroom and i must say its
really working good and it doesnt show any fault at all .Till now .i wish i also
bought this macbook from the showroom ....
"
"Amazing product..it has quality written all over it..great battery, easy to adapt
if you are moving from windows..the trackpad, gestures, everything is so damm
goodHad read many reviews about the display being bad...it is..if you are trying to
look at atomic level details..its a fantastic screen with great audio
output..Everything g screams quality and premium about the macbook..love it.
"
"From the very beginning the battery life was horrible . hardly 2 hours. And after
using it for just a year it just stopped working . and i cannot even charge it.
Terrible product sold by Amazon
 "
"The rating isn't for Apple's performance. I exchanged my old MacBook Air 11'
(2013) for MacBook Air 13.3' (2017): and I haven't been disappointed. They both are
fantastic machines, there isn't a bit of change except the screen - it is slightly
bigger and better...The rating for the seller - I would give 5 star for delivery
and 4 star for packaging. However, the product came with multiple scratches. I am
unable to conclude whose fault it is- Apple or the reseller (in this case -
Cloudtail India Pvt Ltd).I have restored my previous backup and will observe the
performance over the week. If it under performs- I will report it to the
authorities. If it performs well, the scratches may have been anyone's fault but
can be ignored...I shall update this review in a week's time...
"
"I preferred this over other good spec windows laptop, just for reason mac. 128 gb
ssd was only concern as it may not be sufficient however adding external hd or
flash drive will do the job for u. Overall even the screen is not full hd i did not
find it much of the issue, however If u r concern about good display must for
consider this as option. Additionaly over 13000 discount in last sale made this
perfect deal.
"
"When i received, within 15 days i realised the hinges were loose. Then after less
than 2 months very rare use i got a line on the display. The replacement window was
only 10 days. Now i have given it for service and even apple doesn't have a
replacement policy. So i have to use a repaired device inspite of buying new. Very
disappointing.
"
"Be careful while buying electronic products through Amazon.I bought this macbook
for 56k on March 2018. After 1.5 years of usage, the display stopped working for no
reason. The device never had any accidental drop or shock while I was using it
through these years. The service center guy told me it would cost around 41k for
screen replacement. Now I'm left with no option.If you are buying, I suggest you to
buy it along with a protection plan or any extended warranty.

"3 years and still running! great product
"
"The elegant work of apple can be seen in this product. The design, the user
friendliness, the compactness can be easily seen in this laptop. Coming to the
performance, the speed of this is remarkable, and you can get to know the power of
Mac os when you have another apple product. You can get one of the best movie
experiences on this . Overall I would it a 4.5/5.
"
"I got a great deal on this laptop, which I have been using for almost a year now.
I got it not only on discount but also was able to exchange my old laptop with
this! Laptop works really well, it was a good purchase!
