Grab a refurbished 2017 MacBook for school

This MacBook is work-ready and comes with a 256GB SSD, 8GB RAM, and a 12-inch retina display. That may not be equal to brand-new hardware, but it’s a functional setup that you could supplement with cloud storage and auxiliary displays.

If you’re looking for a computer to carry you through college, this might be it. Though it’s a little rough around the edges, everything beneath the casing should work great. You may notice some signs that this MacBook has been used, with some scratches, scuffs, blemishes, and spots. But throw some stickers or a case on those and you’ve still got a MacBook for under $600.

This MacBook is running the standard MacOS. If the version is out of date, it’s free to update your OS on the App Store or through Apple’s support channels. Updating to the most recent version might make your computer run a little slower, but it should also make Apple software run a little smoother.

If you’re looking for a quality computer to take to class, do homework with, and stream on, this refurbished MacBook could be a great find. It’s lightweight, compact, and versatile in how much you could still do with it.
