The $230 MacBook to grab before it’s gone

TL;DR: This can’t-miss offer gets you a grade-A refurbished Apple MacBook Air 13.3″ (2017) for just $229.97 (reg. $999) with free shipping through December 8.

Like almost everyone, I’ve always wanted a Mac. Maybe it was watching Carrie Bradshaw write with one or seeing them around my college campus, but the price tag always kept me a (regretfully) loyal PC user. Then I heard about refurbished MacBook deals. I nabbed a MacBook Air for only $229.97 ( regularly $999) — can you believe it?

How is it so cheap?

Refurbished laptops are pre-owned computers that are given a second chance at life. As someone who buys dented cans of soup in the grocery store because I feel bad for them, I love this idea — and it’s better for the environment. The laptop arrived with normal amounts of wear on the outside, which I covered up with a cute pink case.

My MacBook Air was originally from 2017, so it’s a classic model. I know some Mac users want the fanciest features (honestly, if I had the cash, I would too), but I really only needed a laptop for home use — aka online shopping, streaming movies in bed, and the occasional Microsoft Office session.

• Intel Core i5

• 8GB of RAM

• 128GB SSD storage

• Up to 12 hours of battery life

• Weighs under three pounds

This MacBook works just fine for my needs. I notice lagging when I have around 30+ Chrome tabs open, but my PC was the same way, so that’s what I expected.

I can still hardly believe I saved 76% on this refurbished MacBook Air. They’re selling out fast, though, so if you want one, get yours for $229.97 (reg. $999) with free shipping before they’re gone.
