In the age-old debate of Mac vs. Windows, there’s something that neither side can deny: Apple’s MacBook Air is lightweight, thin, and just beautiful. And, well, it’s pricey. Like “four-figures and beyond” type of expensive.

Save hundreds on a MacBook Air
There are two key things to know about refurbished devices: they’re slightly older and pre-owned. This MacBook Air came out in 2017, so if you’re looking for a model with Apple silicon, this one isn’t for you. But, it does sport some features discontinued on many of the newer models, like an SD card slot, USB 3.0 ports, and MagSafe charging.
Since this MacBook Air was previously owned, it went through a stringent refurbishment process that included cleaning and testing. Then, it was given a grade “B” rating to signify some cosmetic imperfections and diminished battery health. If you don’t mind those small downsides, you can save hundreds compared to grabbing a brand-new model.
