As I said, the MBA is a great product, and this price (for the i7) is $250 less than retail at an apple store, and it has USB ports, thunderbolt, and an SD card slot. Something sorely lacking from the rest of Apple's product line, imho. The MacBook Air arrived fast and was 100% new in box, with Mojave preinstalled, which was a small problem as lots of my (old) apps from Sierra won't work on the newest 64bit only OS. The deal breaker for me was that now, even the MacBook Air comes with the new "butterfly" keyboard, which I cannot stand. I am a touch typist and I go slower on the new keyboards where the keys don't travel down at all. I don't like the feel of it at all. I'm so sorry, but for a $grand, I won't compromise that much. Also, these new butterfly keyboards have earned a bad reputation should any debris - even a grain of sand - get in there: it will cause the keys stop working. Maybe make the next gen of laptops a millimeter thicker and give it a real keyboard? Please pardon my editorial on these 3rd gen keyboards. You can search the web for more info.
Bottom line: it's a great product. If you want one, then just buy it as you will have no regrets. Be aware of the keyboard issue. For me, it was a deal-breaker, therefore I returned the item. Still, I'd highly recommend.
