  • Speed and features I tried to run 4 1080p youtube videos and it worked just fine :). good
  • Design and form factor I hate the thick screen bezel good
  • Battery life ~6 hours great!
  • Display No Retina :'( good
  • Durability Flexes a lot. good
  • Expandability I think you can change the SDD but not the RAM poor
  • Noise You can barley hear the fan great!
  • Portability (size / weight) Can't ask for more :) great!
Detailed review
It's not mine. It's my roommate's

CPU/GPU:
The CPU/GPU are good if you don't do anything more than web browsing/streaming videos.
It's my roommate's laptop. So, I'll try my best. I didn't try any video or photo editing but I guess it will work ok if you are giving it simple tasks such as cropping videos using iMovie or Windows Movie Maker.

Pros:
OS X
Ivy Bridge :)
Thin
Nice screen
Good keyboard
4GB Ram
Cons:
128GB only. I think the upgrade is not worth it ($400 for a bit more storage). My roommate wishes that he did purchase the 256GB.
The keyboard flexes sometimes
No corner glass display
OS X
