That meant reimagining every element to make it not only lighter and thinner but also better. The result is more than just a new notebook. It's the future of the notebook. Review: For elegant jetsetters, writers and technogeeks who love ultraportability - I've had it for a week and I love it. I'm a (fast) two-fingered typist so this keyboard really took a few days to get used to and honestly I still prefer the traditional Mac keyboard. But the size/portability, the screen quality and the almost not credible sound quality are the overriding factors. To put it another way, if I had the opportunity to travel back in time this would be the laptop I would take to impress the hell out of everyone. I do have a Macbook Retina 15 1Tb with the highest end processor, which I use for video editing and Photoshop. Yes that machine is a speed demon, but honestly I found with 95% of the thing I do during the day this 12" Macbook is more than adequate. I can even do Photoshop with this 12" Macbook, I mean high end Photoshop with a hundred layers or so. Other than the 3D interface (for those that know that) I am not inconvenienced here. Ditto for InDesign -- although high end graphics does start to show a tiny lag there but nothing that's a deal breaker. And for fun, I did so some video editing on Premiere Pro, and it did take longer to render out (the SSD disk isn't as fast on this machine). But it astonished me that it could. If I had to do minor editing on the road, in emergency cases, I can, although that's not the right Macbook for the job honestly. For any other Word, Pages, Numbers, Excel, Keynote, Powerpoint, Evernote, iTunes ... anything, this Macbook is absolutely the correct computer. You will notice zero difference even with a few programs open. If you want to do any accounting, writing, document design, travel on airplanes, sit in a cafe and write all day long, then this is the laptop. The charger is very light to carry around as well. This can be your only laptop if you are not a graphics artist or editor. If you want to do heavy multimedia, you can somewhat but don't get rid of the more powerful machine. This is a wonderful second machine for you, even for presenting at client meetings. Lastly, in case you guys are wondering whether iPad Pro or this Macbook 12, definitely this Macbook, no question. It's a real laptop, a real file system, real apps and programs, not just IOS clipped versions. If you have to draw with a pen then maybe consider the iPad Pro, or a Surface Book, but really those are really expensive compared to this, Review: Simply Beautiful!! - I just received this computer a few days ago and so far I really love it! It's very user friendly and easy to learn and operate. Unlike Windows 10 which IMO is just terrible! The design is flawless. The pictures simply do not do it justice. I purchased the Rose Gold and it is truly stunning! The Retina display is simply beautiful. Pictures and videos are crisp and clean. I have read many reviews about the butterfly keyboard not being all that great. However, I find that I really like it and it took me no time at all to adjust. I definitely prefer it to a regular scissor type keyboard. I am not a gamer, or someone who edits videos or photos on a regular basis. So the fact that this computer is not a loaded power house is not an issue for me. I write short stories, poetry, and children's stories. I use it for social media from time to time and pretty standard web browsing. This computer is perfect for what I need. The one port complaint is also not an issue for me. If and when I need to use other ports, purchasing an adapter isn't a huge deal. Although it would be nice to see Apple add additional ports to their future models of MacBook. I also love how light and portable this computer is. I feel like the freedom is endless with this particular model. Overall this is a great computer if you are not needing a multitude of bells and whistles for gaming or large video editing projects. If you are looking for a beautiful, eye catching, light, portable, daily using computer and can afford it's rather high price tag, then this is an excellent choice! ## Features - 512GB PCIe-based onboard Flash storage - 1.2GHz dual-core Intel Core M5 processor - Turbo Boost up to 2.7GHz - 8GB Memory - Intel HD Graphics 515 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Apple | | CPU Model | core_m | | Color | Silver | | Graphics Card Description | Integrated | | Hard Disk Size | 512 GB | | Model Name | MacBook | | Operating System | Mac OS | | Ram Memory Installed Size | 8 GB | | Screen Size | 12 Inches | | Special Feature | Built-in Microphone, DC in Jack, Full Sized Keyboard | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Apple - **CPU Model:** Apple M4 - **Color:** Silver - **Graphics Card Description:** Integrated - **Hard Disk Size:** 512 GB - **Model Name:** MacBook - **Operating System:** Mac OS - **Ram Memory Installed Size:** 8 GB - **Screen Size:** 12 Inches - **Special Feature:** Built-in Microphone, DC in Jack, Full Sized Keyboard ## Images ![Apple MacBook (12-Inch, 1.2GHz Dual-Core Intel Core M3, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) - Silver - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71O-XIla8eL.jpg) ![Apple MacBook (12-Inch, 1.2GHz Dual-Core Intel Core M3, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) - Silver - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/919bRP5SiLL.jpg) ![Apple MacBook (12-Inch, 1.2GHz Dual-Core Intel Core M3, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) - Silver - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ZI2jbSwxL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does the laptop come with it's charger or is it bought separately?** A: Does hp laptops come with a charger **Q: Could I produce music with this?** A: It includes GarageBand which is one of the best for producing music. **Q: which is your processor ?** A: m3. most cheap version. **Q: Is there an option to upgrade to the m5 or m7 processor?

I've always been a mac/apple guy but I feel they're sort of going down hill. This MacBook is made of all metal, which seems crazy to me. Every time I pick it up I'm afraid it's going to slip out of my hands and kill my dog, who is always sleeping beside or on me. Also, I don't get why everything mac, has to be so thin. This thing is the thickness of a yellow notepad. They seem obsessed with making their products super thin and although I'm sure there's a few other reasons for the discontinuation of the disk drive, good old FireWire and regular USB (this new version is thinner) I can't help but suspect their need to make super thin products plays a big role in the loss of those. It runs well. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/27254651-apple-macbook-12-inch-1-2ghz-dual-core-intel-core](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/27254651-apple-macbook-12-inch-1-2ghz-dual-core-intel-core) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
