12" MacBook Review: Greatly Misunderstood

Apple discontinued the 12" MacBook back in early July. However, I think that this laptop is still a GREAT OPTION for those who want a laptop that COMPLETELY delivers in portability. Like seriously, it really isn't as bad as some reviewers have said it is. It may have its compromises, but I say that it's still worth a look. With that said, here's my full review of Apple's (2017) 12" Retina MacBook! This might be a long review, but I hope you'll get something useful out of it.
