Get Apple tech for less with a refurbished MacBook Air for only $248

TL;DR: Through May 22, save some money and get this refurbished MacBook Air on sale for $247.99 (reg. ($700).

Anyone looking for a laptop has difficulty finding a balance between performance and price. This can be especially true for those who enjoy Apple's design and reliability but don't love the typical hefty price tag. Getting a refurbished device could be a way to get the best of both worlds. For example, this MacBook Air is on sale for $247.99 (reg. ($700).

Those who need an everyday work or personal computer to get them through most standard tasks could find this Air ideal. While it may be older and have a little less modern tech, it has been cleaned and inspected to work well. The grade "B" refurbished rating means it might have some light cosmetic blemishes, but that's part of the reason you are able to get it at a steeply reduced price.

It has 128GB of storage and 4GB RAM, which is probably enough for multitasking. However, if your job requires you to work with huge files, this might not be an ideal fit. 

The Intel Core i5 processor and Intel HD Graphics 6000 allow for a smooth performance, whether you're creating work spreadsheets, browsing the web, or streaming your favorite shows on the 11.6-inch LED-backlit active-matrix glossy display. The Turbo Boost 2.0 tech even allows you to get up to 2.7GHz.

This Air has Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi capability and a battery that's built to last up to nine hours on a charge. It offers two USB 3.0 ports and a Thunderbolt 2 port, and also comes with a black protective case.

Whether you're a student looking for a reliable laptop for school, a professional needing a secondary computer for travel, or just someone wanting to try out macOS without the hefty initial investment, this MacBook Air refurb is worth a longer look.
