TL;DR: As of July 20, you can pick up a refurbished MacBook Air (Core i5, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD) for just $369.99 rather than $1,199 — that's 69% in savings.
With Apple's recent announcement about the new generation of MacBook Airs coming soon, you may be considering splurging for a laptop upgrade. Of course, the newer models are high-performing and visually stunning, but that steep price tag for the base model might shake you to the core.
Instead, why not grab a refurbished model of an earlier MacBook Air at a fraction of that cost? This 2017 Apple MacBook Air with a 13.3-inch screen is currently only $369.99 — that's more than $800 off the original price.
A classic version of the well-loved Apple laptop
This MacBook Air was originally released in 2017 and has been refurbished to a high-quality condition. This laptop in particular received a grade "B" rating, so it could have some scratches or scuffs on the outside, but not on its screen. You could pick out a case (not included) to conceal any cosmetic imperfections and protect your new-to-you MacBook.
Grabbing this slightly older version of the MacBook Air means you'll get that classic Apple look with a silver border around the screen. Unlike newer models, which have fewer ports, this MacBook Air has two USB ports, a Thunderbolt 2 port, and a SDXC slot, in addition to its MagSafe 2 power port.
High-level performance at a steep discount
On the inside, this MacBook Air is powered by an Intel Core i5 processor, which is designed to handle light multi-tasking, programs like Microsoft Office, and even some lightweight games. This model also sports an Intel HD Graphics 6000 card for smooth streaming.
The MacBook Air has an HD FaceTime camera so you keep up with friends and family, or join video conferences for remote classes or meetings. Enjoy using it for up to 10 hours with a strong battery life to get you through the school or work day.
You don't have to give in to getting Apple’s latest models when this classic Apple MacBook Air with a 13.3-inch screen and 128GB of storage is only $369.99 (reg. $1,199).
