What a sensible giveaway!!
I would love to have a macbook air. The interface is where I was blown away compared to windows. The user experience is what I love the most.
BTW I’m a beginner front end developer and I would like to keep myself light as the macbook air. 🙂
I’m a freelance wed designer / developer from Italy. Being a freelance in Italy is so hard, so any support or gift is appreciated 😉 <3 codrops
Having no laptop to work as a freelance web developer is troublesome.
Membership will add great value to my work as a web develop
I always enjoyed using os-x, but I’d never used on a laptop so far. I really like the look and fell of the new MacBook
First of all, thank you guys for this opportunity 🙂
I’m UI/UX designer. I’d like to use a Macbook Air to speed-up and simplify my workflow. Colors look so awefool on my current desktop. Besides of this the second screen would help me to make my job I love better and faster. Thanks again)
I use Linux for development (Front-end and Back-end) but I like the Mac Air because it’s great hardware for developing on the move, wonderful battery life and quite portable for a developer always on the move.
I would love to get a mac book air to help testing my front end web development. I use a PC mainly and having a mac around to test on safari and such would be great, plus it would be perfect for coding on the go!
Hi,
I need the macbook because I want to code app with Ionic but for compiling I need a Mac and I don’t have the money for that :/ .
Thx
I my country Apple products is realy expencive and Air is not exception. Macbook Air is the great device for any frontend developer. I’d be glade to win it and use in my everyday work. Goodluck to everyone. ))
I really love designing, its always been my passion, I always dreamt about getting a job someday and buying myself a laptop and become the greatest designer ever. You guys could help me realize that dream a bit sooner…But anyway thank you guys for the opportunity, And good luck everyone… Be ThE bEsT… have a great 2016
I want to win the Macbook because of my job, I work everyday building the web with several projects but sometimes is a bit difficult because budget is low to buy a decent computer, my current one is going to die soon, so I know this Macbook would solve my problems.
I would like win the laptop because for the moment I use one of my previous employer and I have to give them back !
I actually are in my way to start my own bussines as web designer and front end developer, and with one Mac book Air in my hands it will be easier to me to work in any place out of my home, and with any of those wordpress I would offer to my clients a large range of solutions.
I quit my job about 2 weeks ago because I’ve finally decided to take up web design and development full-time. One of my biggest headaches at the moment is trying to find decent equipment with an extremely limited budget. The Macbook Air will give me a really huge and much needed boost as well as enable me channel whatever little resources I have into other tools and resources I will need to get started. As for the Membership, let’s just say I’ve already started planning how I’m going to integrate the tools ‘My theme shop’ offers into my projects. No matter the results, thank you guys for being extremely awesome and to the team at ‘My Theme Shop’ thank you too for the awesome WP tutorials I really needed those.
I would like to win a win the membership or MacBook Air because my current computer is exceeded, it supports fewer adobe software I use daily in my work as community manager.
In addition it would give me a beautiful gift early 2016.

I want to win the Macbook Air so that I can organise my work and personal project files and notes properly. It would greatly improve my productivity and help me to finish my tasks quickly and present my portfolio in a professional manner. I am currently using my aging PC for my projects and tasks and its very frustrating because of the slow speed which means I take up more time to finish my projects. Thanks for the giveaway.

I would like to win the membership or MacBook Air as it help me up my game in the web development and design world! Technical limitations make it a tad difficult in this day and age so this would help boost my productivity. Thank You!
As i am starting my career whatelse would help me than a brand new Mac or a membership @ MyThemeShop? It would be the best thing i could possibly get!
I hope i can win it 🙂
Best Regards!
The MacBook Air would give me the mobility I need to more easily meet with clients, instead of being confined mostly at home for development. It would help me finally realize my dream of starting my own business.
Hello everyone, I am from Moldova. I work as a web developer, I like to create beautiful interfaces and convenient solution for different web-sites. At the moment, I have a simple laptop DELL, installed ubuntu 15.10 on it. Though developed in a Linux system is quite convenient, but still sometimes lacking its capabilities. So I think that if I had a MacBook, it would further spurred me on to new discoveries, good works and beautiful interface. Besides, I have long dreamed to try to work in the Sketch.
I would use this computer to continue to improve the Investment in the people of the town where i live. I teach them to write HTML and CSS.
This would be amazing! My partner has decided to start an coaching business, and needs a website. This would be a great help to make this happen!
Some time ago my girlfriend heled me realise how important and rewarding it is to understand what you love doing and pursuing your milestones. I’ve grew in the front end department and it became the essence of me. By winning the macbook I could help her realise her dreams and pay back the huge debt of fullfilling your dreams. Frontend is my life and she is the essence of it. I would so want to give back to her the awesomness she made me experience.. Her dream is interior designing and she’s really talented
I am a WWDC Scholarship Winner and love to program. Also I am a scholar student at the RWTH Aachen while I’m attending high school in Germany. I’d actually love to win because I need a laptop for conferences and hackathons and unfortunately I don’t have the money to buy one
Hi, I really really need to change my daily laptop so why not trying to grab this opportunity. I often work with wordpress for clients so a premium access to MyThemeShop will be helpful for some project. I’m also a big fan of tutorials and collective from Cordrops so i really hope to win a prize !
We hope for the future to win more hope and programming challenges, willing the new year very lucky like being hit on the head Apple brand as lucky.
I want to hit my head with this Apple lucky draw my next life burning brain, to live my life toss!
Nice giveaway. Keep the great work.
Now, if I have to say, my current PC is almost dying 🙁
The 13″ macbook air was the next machine I had in mind, but I’m just a student and the budget isn’t enough~ I hope to win that because I’m not a fan of using themes xD
I’d like to win the MacBook cause im a professional backend Script Developer and the MacBook is the best place for coding. Its easy to use and one of the safest Notebooks on Earth 🙂 If i could win this I can easily code directly to my NAS and that would be great. Right now I’m an advisor for my Friends in coding and I’m running several projects at the time;) The Mac would be also nice cause I can drop my coding things directly to my iPhone 😉 Thanks guys of doing this
With MyThemeShop, I can expect something more unique. I want my blog to stand out from the crowd. Web standards are always changing, as are the capabilities of the browsers we use. MyThemeShop themes are far more likely to be designed with current web standards in mind.
I would like to win the MacBook Air because I just began a new company and I haven´t enough money to buy a good laptop like this.
Thank you for the opportunity!!!
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A PC WEB DEV
Life as a PC web dev
Is one frustrating hack
You finally find software
But it says “Only for mac”
You google tutorials
The solution less black
Then in the opening paragraph
The tut says “Only for mac”.
So what about Sketch
To add to my stack
But the only download button
Reads “Only for mac”
This PC gets frustrating
And i’m ready to crack
My words may seem poetic
But not as poetic as….
“You’ve just won a mac!”
(And you’ll never go back)
Designing is all I love and want to pursue as first career but can’t afford fancy things like Apple. Macbook can solve High Resolution problems of mine which I face many times. Here in India, having a small job means can’t afford Apple device. I’ve finally decided to take up web design and development as full-time but my biggest headaches is trying to find this equipment with an extremely limited budget.
I would love to win the MacBook Air because my old computer has just broken and I need one to work!I am about to start a small online business and I´d would be a great and lucky beginning!
To begin, sorry for my English. I must be lucky, because as said earlier, is a good opportunity to get a work tool, wherever you are. Above all, if you are a work in web development or webmaster. Good luck everyone!
I would love to win this laptop! I am a poor college student web and software developer who would dream to get a MacBook. Mac is more friendly with the things I do and I would love to own one! but I don’t have the money!!
Macbook Air come to me, I think that’s meant to be. Together will be the the best match and maybe some money we’ll catch by having some code on our mind and leaving some great artwork behind.
Dear Macbook Air hope we’ll have much time to share.
Your David. 🙂
This would help me immensely in my work as I currently have a PC and can’t afford to upgrade to a Mac and can’t build iOS apps and use amazing apps like Sketch!
I would love a membership to MyThemeShop to help extend what I can offer my clients I work for and the MacBook Air would be perfect to help foster my sons interest in what “daddy does on the computer”!
Working on a Macbook offers the wide flexibility needed for a WordPress developers 🙂 From the super rich retina display showing the exact color shade to use to the perfect code editor and apps to build the next BIG thing 🙂
I would like to win the MacBook because I am a recently established freelance Designer/Developer and my Asus PC gave out a few days ago. I don’t have the money to purchase a new laptop and this will allow me to get back to work. Thanks!
Being a Front end Web developer, I do need to have access to softwares specifically design to help ease the process. But most of these are only for Mac and I’ve only got Windows and cannot afford to have a Mac. As of now, I’m running one through emulator but its quite slow and doesn’t fully satisfy my needs. I’m also starting to move to IOS development and it’s really time I should move to Mac. That’s the reason I would be stunned to win MacBook Air, couldn’t have any other best option but to win it for free.
I want a present laptop because, given our course, it is impossible to buy.)))
Actually i don’t know to much about coding, but I have a lot fun doing HTML CSS, I’m working in my old iMac, (the first Mac Pro), no complains, but if I would have the macBook, I can get more mobility and the opportunity of show to my possible customers my work.
A good design is really important to attract people to you site. Like the MyThemeShop site say “WordPress Themes Made For You”, I would definitely want to be a part of MyThemeShop and make my blog more standout. MacBook Air will be like the icing on the cake.
Thank you for the opportunity!!!
As the web develops so does the technology to accommodate it. My current computer is outdated and this would be essential since it’s more modern and has a size comparable to mobile devices.
I would love to have a MacBook Air – though, of course, I would love to have any laptop that can replace my current almost-a-decade-old HP laptop. Right now, I am not an Apple fangirl, but give me the opportunity and I might become one.
As for the membership: as a starting freelance WordPress developer, having access to all those plugins and templates would enable me to get better in my chosen field of work, so that I can provide my customers with the best results I can give them.
Thank you very much for organising this giveaway and I wish you all a great 2016!
I’d like to win the MacBook as it would help me a lot in coding.
It’s obvious that we are here because we are some kind of a developer/designer and developers need a good laptop, winning one is a really good thing and will greatly improve my workflow… also I haven’t received any gift this christmas so goodluck to us all.
