Shop smarter — these near-mint MacBook refurbs are under $200

TL;DR: Instead of paying high-tech prices, get a near-mint refurbished MacBook Air on sale for $199.97.

If you’ve been tracking tech prices lately, you know how hard it is to find a good price on a computer, even a basic one, for little daily tasks. Rather than dropping a whole paycheck on a brand new Apple computer, more shoppers have started switching to refurbished computers like this MacBook Air. It’s in near-mint condition with a grade-A refurbished rating, and it’s on sale for $199.97 (reg. $1,199).

This MacBook comes with a dual-core Intel Core i5 that runs at 1.6GHz and boosts to 3.6GHz. It has 8GB of RAM, enough for browsing, streaming, or light productivity, and the 128GB SSD gives you a good bit of room for apps and files.

You also get a 13.3-inch Retina display at 2560×1600, so text stays sharp, and photos look right whether you’re on the web or building a slide. Battery life runs up to 12 hours of browsing or playback, so you can leave the charger at home most days. There are two Thunderbolt 3 ports for charging, an external monitor, transfers up to 40 Gb/s, and Touch ID unlocks it with your fingerprint.

This model still updates to macOS Sonoma, so you get the latest features and security patches instead of a laptop stuck on older software.

Grade A refurbished means it shows up in near-mint condition with very minimal to zero scuffing on the case. You also get a wall charger and a 40-day parts-and-labor warranty.

Skip the markup and get a Mac for a smarter price. Pick up a MacBook Air while they’re on sale for $199.97.
