TL;DR: As of Dec. 5, you can get the Apple MacBook Air 13" Refurbished for just $388.99 instead of $1,249 — that's a 68% discount.


The new year is on the way, and it might be time to upgrade your computer. That doesn’t necessarily mean you need to start budgeting for the newest computer. You may be able to find a more affordable option by shopping for refurbished devices. This MacBook Air only has minor superficial signs of use, but it’s been marked down to $388.99. 

An affordable way to upgrade to a new computer 

If you want a laptop that’s lightweight and great for multitasking, then you could get a lot of mileage out of this MacBook Air. Working on the go may be easier with a computer that weighs under three pounds. Bounce between apps on a whim and get the most out of 8GB RAM. If you need a bit more power to run demanding apps, turn on the Turbo Boost: 2.7GHz and see if that cuts down on lag time. The turbo may be particularly useful if you notice any lag while running art or design programs. This MacBook comes with a 128GB SSD, which runs silently and is a lot easier on your computer fan.

Put the 13-inch display and Intel HD Graphics 6000 GPU to work streaming movies in HD. You could even connect a few Bluetooth speakers and create your own surround sound. Plus, this model of MacBook still has plenty of ports for hardware connections. That includes two USB ports, a headphone jack, and a Thunderbolt port, and there’s also a place to pop in an SD card. Naturally, there’s a port for the charger, and a MagSafe charger is included. 

Score a new computer for a low price 

Let your old laptop rest now that upgrading doesn’t have to break the bank, and is more eco-friendly than buying brand-new. For a limited time, get a refurbished Apple MacBook Air on sale for $388.99, marked down from $1,249. 

Prices subject to change.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
