I’m still trying to figure out how this MacBook Air was only $240

Apple MacBook Air

TL;DR: Save 75% on this classic MacBook Air with a refurbished model while supplies last.


Like almost everyone, I’ve always wanted a Mac. Maybe it was watching Carrie Bradshaw write with one or seeing them around my college campus, but the price tag always kept me a (regretfully) loyal PC user. Then I heard about refurbished MacBook deals. I nabbed a MacBook Air for only $ 239.99 (a $ 999 value) — can you believe it?

How is it so cheap?

Refurbished laptops are pre-owned computers that are given a second chance at life. As someone who buys dented cans of soup in the grocery store because I feel bad for them, I love this idea — and it’s better for the environment. The laptop arrived with normal amounts of wear on the outside, which I covered up with a cute pink case.

My MacBook Air was originally from 2017, so it’s a classic model. I know some Mac users want the fanciest features (honestly, if I had the cash, I would too), but I really only needed a laptop for home use — aka online shopping, streaming movies in bed, and the occasional Microsoft Office session. 

Check out the laptop’s specs:

  • 13.3-inch screen

  • Intel Core i5

  • 8GB of RAM

  • 128GB SSD storage

  • Up to 12 hours of battery life

  • Weighs under three pounds

This MacBook works just fine for my needs. I notice lagging when I have around 30+ Chrome tabs open, but my PC was the same way, so that’s what I expected.

I can still hardly believe I saved 75% on this refurbished MacBook Air. They’re selling out fast, though, so if you want one, get yours for $ 239.99 (reg. $ 999) before they’re gone.
