TL;DR: Snag a refurbished MacBook Air (Core i5, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD)(opens in a new tab) for just $247.99 instead of $700 as of June 5. That's a savings of 64%.


Fall semester is approaching fast, and a computer might be the key to your student’s preparations. If you’re looking for a laptop on a budget(opens in a new tab), refurbished may be the way to go. This certified refurbished Apple MacBook Air looks and works like it’s brand new, but the price definitely isn’t something you’d find on the shelves. Get one for just $247.99 (reg. $700). 

This MacBook Air is lightweight and versatile. The 5th Gen Intel®Core i5 may be a good match for essential productivity software like Microsoft Office, and you can always turn on Turbo Boost if it needs a little extra power.

While 4GB RAM might not be much by the standards of gaming or design computers(opens in a new tab), it can do the job for day-to-day tasks. Take notes on a 1366 x 768 resolution screen, or work on the go with a battery that could last up to nine hours on a single charge. Plus, the 128GB solid-state drive gives users plenty of room for important files and apps, but they can also access more space with wireless data transfer using Bluetooth 4.0. 

This computer works and looks like it’s new, but it was manufactured originally in 2015. That’s why it comes with two USB 3.0 ports, a Thunderbolt 2 port, and a separate MagSafe power port. 

If your student is taking their computer from class to class, the computer might be exposed to all kinds of wear and tear. This one comes with a black snap-in case to help prevent those scuffs and scratches and keep the computer looking fresh. 

Whether you’re shopping for a new college student or a high school kid about to make waves, they could benefit from a low-cost laptop that works like it’s new.

For a limited time, get a certified refurbished Apple Macbook Air(opens in a new tab) for $247.99 (reg. $700).
