TL;DR: Avoid looming tariffs by grabbing this refurbished M1 MacBook Air ASAP, now $919 off while supplies and economic conditions last.


There’s growing chatter that electronics are about to get a lot more expensive. Although there's talk that some devices may be exempt, there's also speculation that such exemptions are only temporary. For those who have already been planning device upgrades, the answer is clear: Buying now may be the smartest move.

We understand that grabbing devices now doesn't necessarily mean you're getting a good price, but we have refurbished laptop deals that can help ease the blow. Check out one on the 2021 M1 MacBook Air, allowing you to get this Apple chip-based laptop for just $579.99, normally $1,499.

Let's dive into what makes it so special.

Go 3.5x faster with M1 chip

Apple brought its processor chip production in-house with the M-series. With that, the MacBook Air got a 3.5x speed increase to the eight-core CPU performance and 5x improved graphics in the up to eight-core GPU. 

And it's all integrated with the Apple build you know and love. Get the classic 13.3-inch MacBook Air Retina display with 2560x1600 native resolution. Stash large files on the 256GB SSD hard drive. Run multiple programs without strain, thanks to the 8GB of RAM.

Barely over half an inch thick and just 2.8 lbs, this MacBook Air remains extremely portable even as it gets more powerful than its predecessors. Compatible with the latest macOS, there's plenty of life left in this setup.

Refurbished = sustainable + affordable

Prevent e-waste and save yourself over $900 when choosing a refurbished laptop. These are not simply used laptops but ones that have met specific criteria of grade A refurbishment. 

You'll get a laptop in good condition without the brand-new price. These may have zero to minimal scuffing with no dents, cracks, or missing parts. The screen is in good condition with no scratches or screenburn. The keyboard is clean and functional. With at least 80% battery health, you can get up to 18 hours of use.  

Opting for refurbished Apple products is a hack to get the performance and hardware you want without emptying your wallet.

Buying this refurbished MacBook at $579.99 may be the smartest thing you do all year.
