The MacBook Air I use every day is 65% off
TL;DR: Save 65% on a refurbished MacBook Air (M1, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD) M1 while supplies last — fewer than 50 remain in stock.
I went through two laptops in my four years of college. Yeah, yikes. I opted for cheaper models then, and, instead, I paid the price with sucky battery life. When the second one bit the dust, I knew I had to get something nicer. That’s when I finally sprung for a MacBook. But here’s something most people don’t know: they aren’t always expensive.
On a college budget, I did some research and discovered refurbished laptops. Usually gently owned and restored to like-new condition, you can save buckets of cash — and help the environment. I found a deal on the Mashable Shop for a refurbished Apple MacBook Air (M1, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD) at $514.99, 65% off its sticker price of $1,499.
Here’s how it’s held up over the past two years
I’m the first to admit that I’m hard on the things I own (you read the opening line of this article, didn’t you?), but this Apple laptop has held up surprisingly well after two years of regular daily use.
Apple’s M1 chip does an amazing job of powering me through my writing days. I often have 20+ Chrome tabs open at once, a YouTube video playing in the background, and pricing spreadsheets open. With everything running, I get a solid six hours of battery life, but it lasts all day if I’m only working in Google Docs.
Another thing I love about the laptop is the fanless design. It’s silent and weighs under three pounds. I work remotely, so it's easy to bring along when I want to write in a coffee shop or outside.
Don’t miss out on this refurbished MacBook deal. Once they sell out, they’re gone for good.
