it did not need to be $1,200 brand new especially with all the issues it had. but it'd be cool if they brought these back at around $800 with the Apple silicone chips
@@chrisexperience7 agree, the speaker too, it pack so much oomph for its size~ i don’t understand the hate it gets like nothing good about it, it definitely a good devices
Came across a late 2016 12" MacBook version for $200. Do you think I should bite the bullet? I'll mainly use it for light work on the go and watching TH-cam. Main issue is the keyboard, I've been seeing many reviews saying even a speck of dust can jam the key 🤔
Hi. I’d say you’d be ok using this for the first year or two, depending on how fast you grow. Just because you can buy this one for so cheap! After the first year or two though, I’d consider getting something newer and more efficient. Hope this helps!!
You should be fine. Most things ordered through Walmart are in decent shape. Although third party sellers might try to sell you something that’s in rough shape.
@@chrisexperience7 that’s great. I am still using this 2015 Macbook and works good for me. Haven’t really tried the higher wattage adapter yet but this 29W seems to be working fine as well.
@@rahuljayekar2685 the laptop is far from a performance laptop though. As you can see in my upcoming video, it is about the same in performance in comparison to a 2012 MacBook Air!!
I would take peoples opinion with a grain of salt. It’s been a little under a year and it’s working just fine. I don’t do any hardcore processing so this is more than enough. I like how much storage it came with, the design, and how simple it is to use. It’s as thin as my ipad!
Hi William, after using the 2015 for a few months, I’d say the 2013 is faster and smoother. The keyboard and display are better on the 2015. I made a video to help you decide between the two. Check it out
@@chrisexperience7 Hi Chris. Thanks for your reply. I have watched it and it has helped me to decide. Thanks for your time doing that particular video. Blessings.
Even though I love the form factor and how compact it is, unfortunately this Macbook had way too many issues to be worth it for me. From the atrocious butterfly keyboard failing royally on a LOT of these, SSD failures, processor issues, no ports, no magsafe, battery not being great - it wasn’t amazing. If anyone’s looking to buy one of these PLEASE watch a ton of reviews before committing to one. For a lot of people the cons outweigh the pros. With luck you can find a 2015 Macbook pro (arguably the best value for money mac) for around $300 - much better than this pile of crap.
2015 ones are terrible but the 2017 revision is much better - you’re still stuck with one port and a (slightly improved) butterfly keyboard but a lot of the reliability issues had been ironed out at that point. I bought a 2017 one a year ago to replace an old iPad and it’s been great.
Imagine putting m1 with scissor mechanism keyboard with magsafe… This will sell a lot
I think that would be a best seller. Although the MacBook Air has M2 chip. But different design.
I have the 2017 one - I love it. It has 30W plug
it did not need to be $1,200 brand new especially with all the issues it had. but it'd be cool if they brought these back at around $800 with the Apple silicone chips
got my 2017 macbook retina 12" used from ebay for a good deal - it's sitting at my mum's place, i need to go unbox it lol
Let us know how you like it.
Just got it myself yesterday, it was light, it was great for portability,
I like the fact that it feels thinner than my ipad. Great design.

Sounds like you’re only using it for lighter tasks, i think the 2016 should keep you going for a while with security updates as well. I’d go for it!
Also, the keyboard on this one is still running fine after a little under a year.
And the speaker, you’ll love it man
Im thinking to buy macbook 12 or air 11.6. What do you suggest?
Reviews on 12 not so great. Thanks
What did you end up getting and what are you using
@@RobertKulmanis MacBook 12 and guess what is pretty good actually 🙂
@@sony4481 damm really what year did you get and which OS are you runnin
make sure to update to Big Sur!!
For sure!! I got to do that soon.
What website did you buy it from? I’m thinking about getting one but from a trustable website.
I got it right on the Walmart app.
hello Chris, i’m going into web development and i’m considering getting this, what do you think about it?

I just ordered 2017 model from Walmart and now I’m nervous. I hope it’s not scratched and having WIFI issues.

Original came up with 29W adapter
At first I did not like the aftermarket adapter, but it charges my MacBook and iPads so much quicker!

With OCLP this laptop can run up to Ventura
how is it holding up? i am planing to buy one for 250$ but i am kinda nervous because a lot of people "hate" on it

Hi Chris. I got the 13-inch 2013 model. Would you still consider the 12-inch 2015 better for $210? Thanks.

@@chrisexperience7 that’s fine with me is my first MacBook then and I’m really Exited how it works how I learn to figure a lot of things out :)

@@elydominique1147 I’m very happy with the design still to this day, even after all these years.
So beautiful!!!

Very very good points.
Had a 2016 mid worked fine the battery died and stopped using , ableton live and all adobe programs ran on it perfectly fine
