TL;DR: Through Feb. 23, you can snag a refurbished MacBook Air (Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD) for only $459.99 — that's a 54% discount from the original MSRP.
When your computer decides to stop working, the thought of having to shell out for a new one can be daunting. However, there is a cost-effective (and eco-friendly) solution to consider: buying refurbished. By purchasing a previously owned piece of tech, you could be saving hundreds of dollars — plus, you'll help the environment by reducing e-waste.
For this particular new-to-you device, this refurbished MacBook Air might be just the thing to carry you through the school year, workday, or binge-watching session. And if you purchase before February 23 at 11:59 p.m. PT, you can get it for over $500 off, at $459.99.
A refurbished MacBook for work and play
This compact computer is lightweight and powerful for easy portability and constant use. It comes loaded with 8GB RAM and an Intel® Core™ i5 processor, but if you ever notice it lagging when you’re running demanding software, you can turn on Turbo Boost to get some extra power. See how much easier it is to render a video or keep all your many, many tabs open when you’ve got a little boost.
On a single charge, this MacBook could last for up to 12 hours depending on how you’re using it. Connect some Bluetooth speakers for a mini movie night, or make the most of that 128GB SSD and download a few games.
If you’ve never bought a refurbished computer, it’s not much different from buying off the shelves. This model has been restored with a “B” rating, meaning the only signs that it’s not brand-new may be some light scuffing or scratches on the body but nothing that should affect how well it runs. Everything else works great, and it even comes with an Apple MagSafe charger.
