TL;DR: As of August 4, you can get the Refurbished 2015 Apple MacBook Air 13.3" for just $365.99 instead of $1,109 — that's a 66% discount.

Considering how long many Mac computers can last, buying refurbished could be a wise investment for someone looking to get a machine that is still functional but is also significantly marked down. If you’re shopping for a laptop that should still have a few good years of computing left, then check out this refurbished MacBook Air with a 13.3-inch screen. Right now, it's only $365.99 (Reg. $1109).

Refurbished with a grade of "B", this MacBook Air may have some light scuffing on the bevel or case and light scratches and dents on the body. If the aesthetic damage is off-putting to you, you can just snap on the case that’s included with your purchase.

The computer’s functionality should still be in working order, complete with Intel HD Graphics 6000, a 256GB SSD, and a 1.6GHz Intel Core i5. Though the processor is not as strong as modern hardware, this MacBook with 4GB of RAM should still work well for light computing, low-demand apps, and browsing.

One of the benefits to this MacBook Air being an older model is the increased port availability compared to newer models which might need a port hub. Along with two USB ports, you also get an SD Card input, and a headphone jack. Add in that this machine has a battery life of up to 12 hours, and you have a machine that could work well as a light work computer or one you can bring to school. It comes with MacOS, but that may need to be updated (for free) to the modern iteration.

Grab a laptop that could work great for school, work, or browsing and streaming. Normally $1109, you can get a refurbished 2015 Apple MacBook Air 13.3" on sale for 66% off at only $365.99.
