Just received mine today and I don’t know about the actual work load of the computer but I’m giving it one star for the way it was shipped. First of all, they said it would come in manufacturers packaging and it did not. And the laptop was very gross with sticky stuff on the outside and near the camera and what looked like crumbs all over the keyboard. I know it’s refurbished but that is disgusting.

This MacBook is a fantastic blend of performance, design, and battery life. The M2 chip is incredibly fast and efficient, handling everything from daily browsing to more intensive creative work without a hitch. I'm constantly impressed by how cool and quiet it runs, even under load.
The keyboard is a joy to type on, the trackpad is precise, and the bright, crisp Retina display makes working on it a pleasure. The best part is the battery life—it easily lasts a full workday and then some, freeing me from the constant search for an outlet.
It's a powerful and reliable machine that perfectly balances portability and performance. Highly recommended for students and professionals alike.

The refurbished 2022 MacBook is a solid choice if you're after Apple's sleek design and performance without the brand-new price tag. The M2 chip is still pretty powerful for everyday tasks, and you'll get a nice boost in speed compared to older models. Battery life is excellent, easily lasting through a full workday.

I've been using my refurbished MacBook Air M2 for a few days now, and I must say, it has exceeded all my expectations. As someone who values both performance and portability, this laptop strikes the perfect balance.
Design and Build
The MacBook Air M2 retains its iconic slim and lightweight design, making it incredibly easy to carry around. Despite being a refurbished model, it looks and feels brand new, with no visible scratches or dents. The sleek aluminum body gives it a premium look and feel, and the build quality is top-notch.
Performance
Powered by the M2 chip, this MacBook Air delivers outstanding performance. Everyday tasks like web browsing, word processing, and streaming run smoothly and efficiently. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it handles more demanding applications like photo editing and light video editing. The M2 chip's power efficiency also means excellent battery life, easily lasting me through a full day of work and beyond.
Display and Sound
The Retina display is stunning, with vibrant colors and sharp details. Whether I'm watching videos, editing photos, or just reading text, everything looks crisp and clear. The True Tone technology adjusts the display to match the ambient lighting, providing a more natural viewing experience. The speakers, despite their small size, produce rich and clear sound, making media consumption enjoyable.
Keyboard and Trackpad
The Magic Keyboard is a joy to type on, with responsive keys that provide just the right amount of feedback. The backlit keys are perfect for working in low-light conditions. The large Force Touch trackpad is incredibly accurate and responsive, making navigation smooth and intuitive.
Value for Money
Opting for a refurbished model was a great decision. I got the same high-quality product at a significantly reduced price. Apple's refurbishment process is thorough, and the laptop came with a one-year warranty, providing peace of mind.
Conclusion
Overall, my refurbished MacBook Air M2 has proven to be an excellent investment. It combines performance, portability, and style in a way that few other laptops can. If you're considering a new laptop and want to save some money without compromising on quality, a refurbished MacBook Air M2 is definitely worth considering. Thank you Best Buy you sell me a product 100% looks like brand new.

I got the M2 MacBook and honestly it’s good, but not crazy good. It does exactly what I needed it to do — smooth, fast for everyday stuff, lightweight, and the battery lasts a long time. If you want a solid, reliable, decent laptop, this one gets the job done.
It’s not perfect though. It can get warm if you’re doing heavier tasks, and for the price there are definitely other options out there with more power. But for school, work, and daily use, it’s been exactly what I wanted.

I recently purchased a refurbished MacBook Air 13.6" from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. The laptop arrived in excellent condition, looks practically brand new with no noticeable scratches or dents. Performance-wise, it runs smoothly and quickly, handling everyday tasks and multitasking with ease. Battery life is impressive, and the display is crisp and vibrant. Best Buy did a fantastic job with the refurbishment process, and the price was unbeatable compared to buying new. Highly recommend this option for anyone looking for quality and savings!

Honestly, I was a little nervous about buying a refurbished laptop, but this one completely changed my mind. The MacBook Air came looking brand new, I seriously couldn’t tell it was refurbished. No scratches, no weird marks, nothing. Performance-wise, it’s been amazing. I use it for school, everyday browsing, streaming, and some light creative stuff (like Canva and basic editing), and it handles everything without breaking a sweat. The M2 chip is veryyy fast. Apps open instantly, switching between tabs is smooth, and the battery life is solid. I can usually get through a full day without having to charge!

Absolutely Blown Away – Exceeded All Expectations!

I was honestly very skeptical at first. This was my first time purchasing a Geek Squad Certified Refurbished product, and I didn’t know what to expect. My expectations were low, but wow — I was completely blown away by the MacBook Air M2 I received!
The laptop looks almost brand new with only very minor, barely noticeable scratches. It’s super clean, runs perfectly, and feels like it came straight from the Apple store. The midnight color is stunning, and the 256GB gives me just what I need for everyday use.
If you’re still second-guessing this — don’t. I’m so glad I went for it, and I would 100% recommend this to anyone thinking about saving a little money without sacrificing quality. Totally worth it!

I use this guy every day, multiple times a day, and couldn't be happier. It's lightweight, works with everything, have never had a problem with it. Fingerprint sensor is an added bonus.

Overall I was nervous when it was refurbished but I’ve been shopping at Best Buy for over a decade and Geek squad has always been around and to stay around you gotta be good correct? Well my Mac is as good as new and I actually returned a brand new M4 and got this instead don’t even see or feel the difference with updates for years to come this was a great buy and for a great price thanks Best Buy.

Great purchase so far, but I was mailed the wrong colored MacBook. It was supposed to be space grey.

As good as new. This presents a significant value for all but the more demanding workloads that require newer and faster silicone. Great battery life and access to most of the performance of the M3.

Excellent performance for most users thanks to the M3 chip — fast, efficient, and smooth multitasking.
• Ultra-portable design, lightweight, and sleek, perfect for students and professionals on the go.
• Great battery life, often lasting 15+ hours on a single charge.
• Beautiful Liquid Retina display, bright and color-accurate.
• Silent operation — no fans means it’s completely quiet.

Great computer, in fact I am utilizing the system right now. I enjoy using this computer a lot, especially for school and for regular purposes. I say it's a good computer to buy if you just want a regular MacBook.

The refurbished MacBook Air M2 is a powerful, sleek machine that balances performance and portability perfectly—especially at this discounted price. With the M2 chip, this laptop handles everyday tasks like browsing, streaming, and multitasking with ease, and even light creative work runs smoothly. The 13.6” Liquid Retina display is vibrant and crisp, making it ideal for media consumption and productivity. The 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD combo is suitable for students, professionals, or anyone looking for fast and responsive performance. Despite being refurbished, Geek Squad Certified units are rigorously tested and usually look and run like new. Plus, getting it for $569.99—nearly half off the original price—is a fantastic value. Battery life remains excellent, often exceeding 15 hours of typical use. If you’re comfortable with refurbished gear and want a modern, fanless MacBook with solid performance, this is one of the best deals you’ll find.

Arrived quickly to the store. Refurbished Macbook Air with M2 chip. Looks brand new. No dents or scratches, and works so much better than what it replaces --a pevious version Macbook Air that is five years old. I only use a computer for emails, audiobooks, news, etc. Do not watch movies on it either. This is powerful enough for me .

Excdellent Value. This Macbook Air does what I need it to do -- email, sorting thru photos, listening to music. I do not do any gaming, watching videos etc. Out of the box it appears clean, as if brand new. In future I will always look for refurbished Apple products.
