TL;DR: Work or play on this refurbished M1 MacBook Air while it’s on sale for only $514.99 (reg. $1,499) at the Mashable Shop.
It’s hard finding a computer that balances affordability with functionality. You could probably find a Chromebook out there that costs as much as a large meal, but if you need something that works hard for a soft price, take a look at this MacBook Air. Some budget-friendly computers might slow down with too many tabs open, or the battery struggles to last through the day, but not this one.
This refurbished 13.3-inch MacBook Air is powered by Apple’s M1 chip, which delivers incredible performance. Tasks that used to feel sluggish on older laptops, like editing videos or running heavy apps, now fly by, but the price isn’t too high, just $514.99 (reg. $1,499). This laptop has a “Grade A” refurbished rating, so you’ll be getting a reliable machine at a steep discount.
The M1 MacBook Air is a legendary machine
Mashable named this laptop one of the best in the world even four years after its initial release. It’s since been replaced by a new generation of MacBook Airs, but this laptop is still popular among shoppers on a budget.
What makes this laptop so great? This MacBook’s 8-core CPU helps make sure things run smoothly, while the 8-core GPU takes care of graphics, so it’s a great fit for designers or gamers who need crisp visuals. And since it’s completely fanless, you won’t have to deal with any distracting noise, even when it’s working hard. With up to 18 hours of battery life on a single charge, you can go from morning meetings to evening binge-watching without reaching for a charger. Whether you’re using it to browse, stream, or work, this MacBook has your back for an entire day.
Always on the move? This laptop weighs under 3 pounds, so you might not even notice you have it on hand. And with two Thunderbolt ports, you still get the slim profile MacBooks are known for with plenty of hardware options.
Even though this MacBook Air is refurbished, it’s Grade “A” quality, meaning it’s in near-mint condition and works great. The only real sign it’s refurbished is the price.
