14 DAY TRIAL // The MacBook Air remains Apple’s most popular notebook with a base price of $999 in the United States and €999 throughout Europe. If you’re looking to get one even cheaper than that, Apple offers refurbished items at a discount.
A refurbished 11.6-inch MacBook Air with a 1.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor is currently available for $849 (€628) on Apple’s Special Deals site in the United States.
Priced 15% lower than the original (sealed) version, this refurbished unit sports an 11.6-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen display with a 1366-by-768 resolution, 4GB of RAM, 128GB of flash storage, a 720p FaceTime HD camera, and Intel HD Graphics 5000.
A model with a 13-inch display and roughly the same specs, sells for just $929 (€688), while an 11-incher with double the storage (256GB) goes for $899 (€665).
