Refurbished but works like a charm
I bought this MacBook Air for grad school, and it’s been perfect for my needs. It’s incredibly fast, handles multitasking with ease, and never feels sluggish, even when I have multiple apps and browser tabs open. The size is ideal — lightweight, slim, and easy to carry around campus or toss into a backpack without feeling weighed down. One of my favorite things is the portability combined with performance. It’s powerful enough for everyday schoolwork, research, writing, and streaming, yet compact enough to take anywhere. The color is also beautiful and looks sleek and modern, which is a nice bonus. Going the refurbished route was a great way to save money without sacrificing quality. If I didn’t know better, I would never guess this wasn’t brand new. Best Buy really got it right by offering refurbished MacBooks that meet such high standards. I’d absolutely recommend this option to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality laptop at a better price.

Great Machine, Great Deal on Refurb
Bought this refurbished and couldn't be happier. Arrived in like-new condition (minus the original box) and included the Apple charging brick and magsafe connector. Machine itself is incredible - impossibly thin/light and ultra-fast, major upgrade from my previous Windows laptop. I love that it's instantly ready when I open the lid, zero load time to get back into an app.
