This Refurbished MacBook Air is a Certified Refurbished Macbook. The 13-inch MacBook Air features 8GB of memory, a fifth-generation Intel Core processor, Thunderbolt 2, great built-in apps, and all-day battery life.* It’s thin, light, and durable enough to take everywhere you go—and powerful enough to do everything once you get there.

  • Condition: Certified Refurbished products are inspected and verified to function properly. May not include all parts and accessories, and usually, do not have original packaging.
  • 13.3" display: 1440 x 900 resolution for high-quality images and fine detail. Energy-efficient LED backlight.
  • Dual-core Intel Core i5 processor: This ultra-efficient architecture was designed to use less power and still deliver high performance.
  • Up to 12 Hours of Battery Life: MacBook Air gets up to 12 hours of battery life on a single charge. That gives you all-day power for surfing the web or watching iTunes movies.
  • 256GB solid state drive (SSD): While offering less storage space than a hard drive, a flash-based SSD has no moving parts, resulting in faster start-up times and data access, no noise, and reduced heat production and power draw on the battery.
  • Intel HD Graphics 6000: On-processor graphics with shared video memory provide everyday image quality for Internet use, basic photo editing and casual gaming.
  • Thunderbolt port for connecting advanced monitors and external drives: This single interface supports both high-speed data and high-def video — plus power over cable for bus-powered devices — ideal for digital content creators.
  • Built-in media reader for simple photo transfer: Supports select memory card formats.
  • Next-generation wireless connectivity: Connects to your network or hotspots on all current Wi-Fi standards. Connect to a Wireless-AC router for speed nearly 3x faster than Wireless-N.
  • Backlit keyboard for easy typing in dim or dark locations: Touchpad with scroll and multitouch capability.
  • Additional port: Headphone output.

    Came Scratched, Dirty And With A Dying Battery

    Shouldn’t refurbished items be sold clean? You should have the seen the dirt that came off the laptop when I cleaned it for the first time. Also, scuff and scratch marks on the laptop (not disclosed before purchase) and a battery at the end of its life that will not hold a charge. I have put in a claim with the warranty company. Shame on Best Buy for not having better oversight of its refurbished electronics.
