How much time do you spend working on your computer? And how much more time is the same computer running for leisure? If you use the same computer for everything, you may introduce a lot of wear and tear on a single machine. It also means that an untimely crash will impact your ability to do work or browse the web. Instead, you can offload your less demanding workloads to a cheap, refurbished laptop such as this 2013 MacBook Air, which is on sale for just $270.99 (Reg. $1,299).

Get to work on this refurbished MacBook Air

Whether it’s homework or office work, this MacBook Air may be a great fit if you have to use low-demand apps a lot. It has 8GB of memory, a 256GB SSD, and a 1.3GHz Intel i5 processor, so productivity software like those in Microsoft Office or the Google Suite should work great on this laptop.

Images should look crisp and vibrant on the LED-backlit display. Work away from an outlet on a battery that could last up to nine hours. That’s plenty of time for extended work and study sessions at coffee shops or the library. At work, you could even use this as a presentation laptop. It has Bluetooth 4.0, so you can connect a presentation clicker, and of course, it can connect to WiFi.

This MacBook Air received a “B” refurbished rating, meaning you should only find light scuffing, scratches, or dents on the body, which is nothing a high-quality case can't completely cover. Everything else should function properly!
