TL; DR: This MacBook Air is only $199.97 right now with free shipping.
The RAM shortage is already starting to affect PC prices, but it hasn’t affected refurbished devices yet. If you need a cheap computer for the basics, this MacBook Air is still a good choice at just $199.97 (MSRP $999).
Inside this MacBook is a 1.8GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD. This combination is sufficient for web browsing, note-taking, light work with photos and office productivity. The 13.3-inch display has a 1440×900 resolution, which is sharp enough for documents and video without draining the battery. You also get Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so you can seamlessly connect to wireless networks, headphones and other accessories. A fully charged battery lasts up to 12 hours, giving you plenty of room on busy days when you can’t sit down at a socket.
This unit has an “A/B” Refurbished rating, meaning it is fully tested, but may have light scuffs or small scratches on the cabinet. That’s why the price is so low. It can be updated to macOS Monterey, making it compatible with most modern software, although it won’t move to newer versions of macOS 26. You’ll also get a MagSafe charger and a third-party limited warranty in the box.
Shipping is free.
