Shopping for a MacBook? Don’t get tricked into overpaying

TL;DR: This M1 MacBook Air is usually $1,499, but now it’s only $514.99. 

What’s next for you? Whether it’s a shiny new job, hitting the books, or exploring a new hobby, make sure you have a computer that can keep up. Don’t worry, getting a nice computer doesn’t cost as much as it used to. In fact, you can get an M1 MacBook Air that’d normally cost $1,499 for just $514.99. Find out how: 

This MacBook Air has an M1 chip, meaning it’s a serious upgrade over older devices that use Intel processors. That’s why this computer can keep up whether you’re multitasking at work or just like to browse with 50 different tabs open. No judgment. I do, too. 

Refurbished Apple MacBook Air 13.3″ (2020)

Not too big, not too small, this Macbook Air has a 13.3-inch Retina Display for crisp visuals and easy portability. Remote workers, that will be especially useful if you’re rocking a tiny desk in your kitchen. 

This MacBook has the standard dual USB-C ports. That’s nice because it means you don’t have to worry about buying a replacement charger directly from Apple if yours ever breaks. Those things are not cheap. But this one just needs a USB-C cable. Don’t worry about packing the charger when you go to work. The battery lasts up to 18 hours on a single charge. 

So if it’s so awesome, why is this computer nearly $1,000 off? It’s a refurbished model, but it certainly doesn’t look like it. The grade “A” rating means this computer is in near-mint condition. The most noticeable sign that this is a refurb is the price, which is still just $514.99, but there aren’t many of these left.
