Hi, I've had my macbook for about 18 months now and it is one of the best things i have ever bought. It is brilliant! I find them very reliable, they hardly ever crash or freeze on you and i've never had any issues with compatibility. They are also easy to transport being both light and small. However if you are not familiar with the mac format they do take a little bit of getting used at first but I'd definitely recommend one, it is just the small little things they do differently that makes them amazing
