Macbook would be perfect fit for my daily activity as my workflows rely heavily on OSX platform on my office iMac. I do need a mobile workstation that allow me to work everywhere and keep synced with my iMac workstation via iCloud.
Hi there! I’m a designer / student.
Here’s my pitch.
In the upcoming months, I plan do lots of research for some exciting UX projects, and having a more portable laptop for travel would be so useful, I could cry.
My life would be at LEAST 200% easier, and my debt $899 less. Seriously!
I’d use the Mac for all of the following things: designing (of course), editing photos, planning projects, emailing future employers, making moodboards, sending funny gifs on Slack (jussst kidding), watching Netflix between classes, fixing up my portfolio, hustlin’, and Skyping with (hopefully!) future employers.
So, yeah. Save a college student in 100k debt a few dollars today and help her land that awesome job! -fin-
I’m really looking for a Macbook for my front-end task. I’m from Vietnam and not familiar with OSX and Apple’s product. I’m using an HP laptop with Windows-based platform and have some projects that requires OSX system to work with (Sketch, Safari and iOS simulator). It will be my best luck if I can have this cool giveaway.
I’m about to finish my major on software development (Software engineering to be exact), and I plan to start my own business on offering webpages for small and medium businesses in my area. I focus mostly on that and small web applications.
Winning the giveaway can really help me, as my notebook is on its last legs and a lot of good tools for this kind of work are better on OSX, aside that is very light, and could take it easily to make a showcase of my work and impress my future clients 🙂
I live in Mexico, so the exchange rate hurts really bad the acquisition power of the general population, and well, getting a MacBook Air for free, would just be a great help to achieve success! Thank you for reading!
I think I should win the MacBook Air because I am an inspiring entrepreneur and the MacBook will help tremendously with the video editing for my customers.
The macbook air will help me research new cuisines and drum up new ideas for my menu!
My husband of 41 years would really like a Mac. We all have iPads and iphones and love them. Thanks.
Hello, I m a web developer and I would like to win the Macbook.I dont have a laptop , so this would help me get my work done at home & in travel.Also this would help me start developin some apps to learn objective-c and/or swift and develop some apps for ios.
need for ios app development 🙂 All the best everyone *fingers crossed* 😀
I need this macbook like I need fresh air, pick me!!
Hi Tympanus.net.
Thanks for the opportunity. Winning this Macbook would be great for my small business, since I could really benefit from expanding in to App Development/Safari Development for the Apple Market given Xcode is rather exclusive to test and publish for only on a Mac Book.
Hi,
I’m a web enthusiast, trying to develop websites since 2010 and haven’t got the right method of doing things around. In this month I’m starting a company which serves customers with solutions in brand identity and web services. I hope that this future will be with me and helps me to achieve my goals
Hi,
This wonderful price may help me as i’m just starting my Web Design business. Thanks
Hi, currently I work as a miner in Poland but our government decided to shut down our mines due to climat warming, so after work I’m learning programming and languages to get a new job. MacBook Air would be a huge upgrade for me.
Thanks for the opportunity!
The macbook air would help me alot with my work.
My girlfiend bugs me alot when I am working because she does not have a working computer of her own and does not want to buy a new one.
Before I buy her one, I will try this oppertunity first 🙂
Thank you for your time!
Best wishes
I’m a poor student from Russia 😀 Because of the sanctions policy of our currency has fallen, for this reason, machines are now sold to the highest bidder. That so bad =(
Thanks to the organizers
Hi,
I would love to use Macbook Air to expand my technical knowledge and also share it on different social media as well as sharing blogs on technical websites like codrops and codyhouse 🙂
love to win – my computer is on its way out and need a new one real bad. Have my fingers and toes for this one. Waiting
I’m 18, and I would like to go on graphic and web design university, but for now, it’s not possible, because I haven’t got equipment for that. My parents can’t buy me some laptop which can start newest photoshop or illustrator. I have computer with 512 mb RAM memory, and it’s very slow, and my monitor is realy bad, i can count pixels on every site and image. I can start just photoshop cs4, but it’s still slow, whenever I start it, I can’t save my work because I have no memory, and I must take screenshot of that work. Macbook will help me to learn programme languages and graphic design better, and it will also help me to make some money for my school. Thank you.
With a Macbook Air I’ll have the best tool to make the web a better place. After all I’m from Brazil and here a Macbook worth like $ 11.000…
I would like a new laptop to use for professional use and create amazing new creation, a special laptop dedicated to web design, graphics & audiovisual. If not, i would love to offer it to someone that can’t work and have no money to work and create his own business
I’m still using a circa 2008 MacBook. The case is peeling and my cord is fraying. Gimme, gimme!
always wanted a Mac this would be ideal to help me design
I really need this because we cannot afford to buy a laptop and I develop a software for special children but due to the lack of my own equipment, I won’t be able to finish it right away.
Well, I am a graphic/ UX/ UI unicorn who is still using a laptop out of stone age. But why am I telling this? I never win such contests.
Well, to tell you the truth I have never owned a MAC, it’s way to expensive in my country. Its costs 3 or 4 times more than a PC.
SO it will be awesome to get more powerfull design tool. Regarding the themes, i think the quality of their themes will increase my sales in web solutiones. Thanks, and Happy 1016!
Being a enthusiastic person I always wanted to learn new things. At the age of 14, I got introduced to this Web Designing field.
Starting off with my first website (song sharing site—Now closed) on my assembled PC, I gained some knowledge about this field. Then as usual my enthusiastic mind moved me more deeper to this field and now I hold some of the UI projects which are not enough for me to get a proper workstation especially “THE MAC BOOK AIR”.
I am 19 yrs old, I know its too old 😛 but still if i get a proper workstation” then I hope I will be able to proceed fast and learn new things. 🙂
I am a UX and web designer, currently working at Hearst. I am utilizing my work laptop everyday, but unfortunately have not been able to afford one of my own for some time. As a full-time designer, as well as a freelancer this computer would help me tremendously not only for personal education to further my craft, but also for work related projects.
This is the laptop I have been dreaming and hoping to get. This laptop will make my work easier because I am always on the internet. I love this laptop, I hope to win this. Goodluck to every other person that enters to win this. Kudos. Thanks.
Would love to win the MacBook Air. I am in need of a new computer, and this would certainly fit the bill!
Thanks for running this little contest. 🙂
I need a Mac Book! Last personal computer I had was probably 10 years ago. #NewMom
I want the MacBook Air for the OSX and the simplicity of the design.
Hello, i want to be a website designer, and this could really help me out on my first try. I will keep you updated on my work.

Junus

why you should win the membership or MacBook Air

uXuu (fingers Crossed)
I come from an ad agency background in the 80s-90s and one of the few who made the switch to web and survived. My last mac was a G5 and after that I stuck with a PC coz it’s cheaper. Now all the great tools like codekit and coda are mac-only and I can only use mac at work. Although already in my late 40s, I feel I can still learn a lot and do more, I just need the right equipment to expedite the process.
Hi goodafternoon. I really need that macbook to try creating a better site to help pregnant women to have their healthy children. I’m trying to make a good website with important information for women who have question about the evolution of their pregnancies and I think that a Macbook could really help me with it.
Thanks
I would be so grateful to win this amazing prize: it would free me up to move forward on a long-hoped for website AND watch movies with the kiddos at home! Can’t beat that:)
Thanks,
Luke
Winning this macbook would be great for my startup. I intent to start developing applications with an intention to create a business.Please let me win….(Crossed Fingers)
Would LOVE to have something portable so I can take my work on the go!
Hello, i am rohan pandya and i am a full time blogger and a freelancer web developer, My blog http://www.dontgetserious.com has Socially Viral Theme installed. I work from home on a Dell desktop as i don’t have a laptop yet. Owning a Macbook is a dream and the reason why i have applied for this contest is because i think “When you are young you believe the possibilities you have are endless” :- Hoping for positive results
Wow, hugely popular and generous giveaway! Thank you so much for putting this on.
I’m a recent Computer Science graduate leaving for the Peace Corps in Indonesia this March, and a recent laptop with a collection of themes would be an amazing tool to teach and design with. I’m tasked with teaching at a vocational high school and being a resource for my village, and while I’m bringing old computers, laptops, and my current linux chromebook with me, it would be great to have something recent to teach from and keep up with my own design and programming work. Love the site, and thanks for all your work over the years!
Because who doesn’t want a brand new Macbook Air? 🙂

Happy New Year
I am a budding Web Designer who would appreciate the MacBook as a means to learn the wonderful trade I currently have my head buried in. I didn’t have the chance to study it at University, and having a proper computer would allow me to learn all the skills I need to know, whilst being able to develop what I already know into nice and responsive websites! (With future contributions to Codrops!)
Hi,
It would be great to have a portable computer to work on my website. Also, the memberships for mythemeshop. I currently use a few of their products and they are AWESOME! My site is a available for all users to share cool stories and products, increasing its functionality would make it better. Thank you for the opportunity!
I’m trying to start my own business. A new laptop would be helpful as would access to MyThemeShop themes and plugins. Regardless of the contest, thanks for the easy to use and powerful themes! I have built sites with several of them and the quality is top notch. Keep up the good work.
My daughter started a blog, Losergurl.com- when she was 13 after a suicide attempt due to horrific bullying. She wanted to show other teens that she was able to get through bullying, and they could, too. She’s become an inspiration to many bullied kids all over the world! Ally is also a talented singer/songwriter (check out her song, Brave- https://youtu.be/rz_Gi7rNpSA ) and she really REALLY needs a mac to use Garage Band to help her move to the next level. She has a producer that she can work with, but she needs a Mac to be able to use the apps needed. When you visit Losergurl.com, you’ll see it’s changing- Ally is 17- nearly 18 now, and she moving onto more things than just bulllying. She’s in the middle of changing over to AllyDelMonte.com- she say, “I’m not a losergurl- I’m just Ally”. She’s still the voice for kids who need help- but she’s coming into her own voice, too. I found out about this giveaway from an email from Eric from MyThemeShop- we were looking for a new theme for Ally- maybe Schema or Socially Viral. Thanks for the chance for me to help my girl move onto bigger and better things!
Hi.
Thanks for this chance I am a member of the mythemeshop customers and I think this MacBook Air will help me a lot in my work as news writer since it is light to carry with anywhere.
Best regards
