TL;DR: As of March 24, if you're looking for a reliable computer that you can use for everything from work to leisure browsing and streaming, then this refurbished MacBook could be a real find for only $363.99.
MacBooks are a lot of things, but they definitely aren't cheap. At least they aren't if you're looking for a brand-new one. If you're a Mac lover and want a MacBook to run lightweight apps like Word or Excel, a refurbished one could fit the bill.
This refurbished MacBook Air may have a few years on it, but it still has mid-range specs and is restored to only have minor cosmetic signs of wear. That's why it's marked down from $529 to $363.99.
This MacBook Air refurb has a grade "B" rating, but that just means there might be some light scuffing or scratches on the case, but it could still perform reliably. Plus, by getting a slightly older machine you get one that includes some of the ports that have since been streamlined out. This MacBook Air comes with USB 3.0 ports, an SD card slot, and the battery could last up to 12 hours on a single charge.
If you're looking for hardware specs, this machine has an Intel Core i5 processor that clocks in at 1.6GHz. Between that, 8GB RAM, and a 256GB SSD, you could get some smooth performance out of this computer for basic apps like Microsoft Office or Google Workspace. It might struggle with more demanding software for art or 3D design, though.
Though it's refurbished, the monitor on this MacBook is still a sight to behold. If you're looking for a lightweight device for watching movies or TV while you travel, this one has a 1,440x900 HD 13-inch LED-backlit Retina Display.
Sometimes the right computer for the job isn't the expensive one at the store. It's the one that fits your budget and is totally suited to the job.
For a short time, you can still get this refurbished MacBook Air for $363.99.
