You don’t always have to buy new. The latest and greatest will work wonderfully, but you might be wasting your money depending on your exact needs. When it comes to laptops, for instance, maybe a nearly decade-old MacBook Air will suite you just fine. This Apple laptop originally from 2017 has been refurbished and presents a significantly cheaper option than buying new. This model first launched with a price tag of $999. Since you waited all this time and decided to buy second-hand, you now only have to pay $180. That amounts to a savings of over $800.
Now I’m not going to pretend this product is right for everybody. In 9 out of 10 cases, you’re probably better off buying the latest model MacBook Air, new — or, at the very least, buying one that’s just a couple years old at this point. If you plan on doing any kind of intensive workflows whether that’s video and photo editing or playing games, this 2017 MacBook Air will leave a lot to be desired. However, if you really just need a knockaround laptop for some easy web browsing, email sending, or word processing, this refurbished artifact from the President’s first term might fit the bill.
