Like its predecessor, the M1 version of the Air includes a much-improved keyboard with a deeper, more satisfying feel and improved reliability compared with MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models released between 20. And unlike previous MacBook Air models, the M1 version doesn’t require a cooling fan, which keeps it dead silent even when you’re maxing out the processor by exporting a video or playing a game. Apple’s new M1 processor is much faster than the low-power Intel processors in previous MacBook Airs, and its battery life is so good that you should almost never need to charge it during the day if you don’t want to. It may have a few scratches or scuffs on the case or body, but the inner parts all work A-OK.We recommend the basic $1,000 version of the MacBook Air, which has enough speed, memory, and storage for most day-to-day computer tasks. This model has been refurbished to work as if you just bought it off the shelf in 2015, though, so you should be solid.

Plus, third-party providers can still order parts for repairs if necessary. It’s not obsolete yet, which means you can still get hardware repairs done by Apple, should you ever require them. In the grand scheme (Opens in a new tab) of things, that’s not all that long. This 13-inch MacBook Air hails from 2015, which means only four models have been released after it. Sure, it’s no M1 chip or 1TB of storage, but it’ll still get the job done and satisfy your Apple craving. This one packs a Core i5 1.6GHz processor, 8GB RAM, and 128GB of storage. Instead of emptying your bank account, save yourself hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars by snagging a refurbished MacBook Air (Opens in a new tab). Or for a computer to cost more than a few months’ rent (even if it’s a killer laptop for creators).

There’s simply no reason for a pair of headphones to cost over $500. We’ve all been asking ourselves for over a decade if Apple’s product costs make the juice worth the squeeze, but now with soaring inflation that shows no signs of stopping, the resounding answer is no. A new one would cost $1,249, so you're getting 68% off the same computer. TL DR: As of May 15, this refurbished Apple MacBook Air 13" (2015) i5, 1.6GHz 8GB RAM 128GB (Opens in a new tab) is on sale for just $388.99.
