This Apple laptop has outpaced my expectations that were quite high.  I was debating on a XPS 13" however this one came in at about half the cost after I built the xps to spec and being that Apple doesn't need as much GB as a PC.  It's small so it's very transportable, yet big enough where you can perfectly see everything you need to.  I'm not a gamer so I can't speak on that aspect of it however I do create videos, edit photos, and do a lot of online research and trading.  I definitely have zero regrets and would recommend it to anyone needing/wanting a new laptop, be it for school, work, or pleasure I believe this will suit you.
