This is the MacBook deal Amazon doesn’t want you to know about

TL;DR: Get a MacBook Air while they’re on sale for $199.97 (reg. $999).

What computer do you think stores want you to buy? Is it the affordable machine that can get the job done, or is it the big expensive thing you don’t actually need? If you just need a laptop for light productivity, don’t let the big box stores convince you it has to be expensive. Instead, try a deal like this one: you can get a MacBook Air for only $199.97 (reg. $999), but we don’t have many left.

Think about it for a second. Why pay close to a thousand dollars when this MacBook Air delivers the essentials and more? Under the hood you get a 1.8 GHz Intel Core i5 processor paired with Intel HD Graphics 6000 and 8 GB of RAM. That means you can juggle web browsing, video calls, document editing and streaming without missing a beat.

The 13.3-inch widescreen display has a native resolution of 1440 by 900. It is sharp and bright enough for spreadsheets and slide decks yet still perfect for binge-watching your favorite shows. At just under 3 pounds you can slip it into a backpack and forget it is even there until you need it.

Storage and connectivity are equally solid. The 128 GB solid-state drive gives you fast start up times and quick access to files. Built in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth mean you can get online and transfer photos or music without searching for dongles. A MagSafe wall charger restores battery power quickly and the 12-hour battery life keeps you productive or entertained all day.

This computer has a Grade A/B refurbished rating so you might spot light scuffing or minor scratches but nothing that affects performance. A 90-day parts and labor warranty provides extra peace of mind. Compatibility with macOS Monterey means you can install modern apps and receive the latest security updates.
