Need a real Mac for email, docs, browsing, and streaming without the four-figure price? This quality refurbished 13-inch MacBook Air is only $199.97 (reg. $999), light in your bag, and easy on your budget.
If your laptop checklist reads “write, surf, Zoom, stream, repeat,” the 2017 MacBook Air still nails the assignment. You’re looking at a 13.3-inch display (1440×900), a 1.8GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD—the combo that makes everyday computing feel snappy, not sluggish. SSD storage means quick boots and fast app launches; the integrated Intel HD 6000 graphics are fine for video, slides, and a little light photo work.
Battery life is the Air’s party trick. Apple rated this model for up to 12 hours, and these refurbished units are graded with battery health in mind, so you’re not tethered to an outlet all afternoon. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth keep the connections simple, and the slim, 2.96-lb chassis keeps it portable.
