Apple loves to talk about the laptop-like experience of the iPad, and they make an excellent case because the iPad is an amazing tablet. But why spend $1,300 on a new 13-inch iPad Pro when you can buy an actual Apple laptop when you can score one like this refurbished 13.3-inch MacBook Air (2017) for just $250 at StackSocial?
This is a Grade A refurbished MacBook Air, which means it is in near-mint condition with minimal to zero scuffing on the case. In other words, as close to new-from-the-box as possible, and well worth $250.
The Full MacBook Experience
Normally $250 won’t get you in the door at the Apple Store, much less walking out with a like-new-condition MacBook Air. That new 13-inch iPad Pro that starts at $1,300 doesn’t really give you the laptop experience until you add the Magic Keyboard for another $350 — or $100 more than this MacBook Air all by itself.
Saving all that cash isn’t depriving you of Apple quality, either. This MacBook Air has a fast Intel Core i5 processor that moves at a brisk 1.8GHz, 128 GB of solid-state internal storage which can be expanded by attaching an external drive to one of its USB-A ports, and an Intel HD Graphics 6000 card that makes streaming or gaming a smooth and satisfying experience on the 13-inch 1440×900 resolution screen.
Hours of Power
The 2017 MacBook Air comes with up to 12 hours of battery life before it will need more juice from the included MagSafe wall charger, which lets you work or play on the go all day long before needing to seen an AC outlet.
And, as always, the biggest appeal of the MacBook Air is its remarkably sleek, compact design. This model of the MacBook Air is only 0.11 inches thick when the lid is closed, and 12.8 inches long by 8.94 inches wide. At a skinny 2.96 pounds, the MacBook Air has long been Apple’s ultimate bring-with laptop, fitting easily into a briefcase, backpack, or a carry-on bag for flights.
Apple Power at a Knockoff PC Price
True, there are several PC laptops can be found in the $250 price range, but almost without exception they’re heavy, unreliable off-brand machines that likely will have you back in the market for a new laptop far sooner than you wished. This StackSocial deal gets you the hardy reliability and multimedia power of a MacBook Air for that same price, and it comes with a 90-day parts and labor warranty.
