Great Portability, Terrible Keyboard.
The keyboard is really what let’s this computer down. My keyboard has failed 3 times since I bought it in 2015. The rest of the hardware is great, especially the display and the speaker system considering how small it is. I’m not a fan of a single port, but at least it is the most convenient and flexible port. Battery life could be better, but for such a thin and light laptop, I think it does a great job.
Purchased in October 2021 at Apple Store Australia for $1,899.00.

I would rate 2 stars out of 5
Well, like any apple product you get the backing of their good company and reputation, you also get to live in the world of the mac.
Some things I don't like about this model are that on no other apple product, can you press down on the keyboard and have the thing "dip" in like a plastic laptop would. Also happens with the top speaker grille.
The notebook also can "flex' like a plastic laptop if you hold one part of the laptop on the left, and right and push the left down and pull the right side up with your hand. This makes the $2,000 plus ...Read more

Awesome road warrior laptop if you understand what you are buying.
Hello!
I purchased the 1.3 GHz Core-M MacBook late last year and can I tell you, it is a thing of engineering excellence. I bought it as a supercharged replacement for my iPad Air 1st gen and what a good decision that was.
Good points:
1. The design is incredible - I have never owned such a beautiful laptop computer.
2. The lack of ports does not bother me in the slightest.
3. It is sufficiently powerful enough to do all of those things we all do every day - perfect for my uni studies on the train.
4. Completely fan-less and lightweight (less then a kilo)
5. Retina screen looks amazing.

It's Nice And All But Why Pay More For Less.
Ok, so the Macbook 12 inch was all about the thinnest, lightest macbook ever and it does this - it has the design, style and panache of an Apple flagship product. The screen is beautiful, the keyboard, quirky but nice, the trackpad is excellent. If you are looking for a truly portable macbook that is a joy to use - this is it. Almost.
My previous laptop was the 13 inch macbook air and you know what? If Apple had just taken the macbook air and upgraded the screen to full hd resolution that would have been the perfect Apple macbook. The compro...Read more
mises that they had to make to make the macbook 12 inch *so* thin are starting to grate. I rarely use the usb port but when I do I prefer not having to unplug the power cord and occasionally I want to plug into an external screen - I fail to see why the adaptor costs $129. So yeah I have to agree with the rest of the tech press when they point out that this macbook could do with at least a separate power port and usb port or may be two usb-c ports. When Apple upgrade the macbook air - I am going to get one of them.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

The best ultralight notebook ever, and it's gorgeous! To see it is to want it...
My last review was on the Macbook Air, which was a lovely machine. However half a glass of pinot grigio on the keyboard did not agree with it and it stopped working. A trip to Apple and a quote of $3500 to replace the wine-soaked components persuaded me to buy a new Macbook - I was leaving for an overseas trip the next week and I needed to take a laptop.
So I bought a gold Macbook Air. It took a while to get used to the (quite noisy) keyboard which has very flat keys, but (like all Macs) it was easy to set up and I took it with me. It is...Read more
very, very thin and very, very light. When I took it out to show some friends a short movie there were gasps at its diminutive size and beautiful lines. It is certainly easy on the eye... The display is astonishing, the battery life 8-9 hours (a working day) or longer and it runs all the software you can poke a stick at - including (with Parallels and MS Windows 10) any Windows programs you might need. I use the Mac version of Office (Apple's Pages and Numbers don't cut it any more for serious work after they ripped features out to make it compatible across Mac, iOS and web versions) which works well on El Capitan after a few updates from both Apple ad Microsoft to fix various problems at launch. There is only one port, which some people find annoying, but I bought a couple of Apple adapters which I keep in my case for the rare occasion when I need to hook up to a projector (HDMI) or attach a USB device. In practice its not an issue for me and deleting the ports allowed Apple to make the Macbook incredibly thin and light. The keyboard is backlit which makes it easier to type in poor light and the sound is excellent. The trackpad is big, with lots of great multi-touch gestures (scrolling up and down with two fingers is something you can't live without once you have used it).Similar opinion?
