Customer Ratings & Reviews

This laptop is absolutely gorgeous. This is my first MacBook and this one is refurbished. I was a little hesitant about that but a friend of mine who has one convinced me of it’s durability and performance. I highly recommend if you are unable to purchase a New one this is still a great way to go. Apple backs all of their product designs. I’m already looking for a second unit. The color is Midnight-I thought that it would have been black, but it’s a Midnight blue. It’s beautiful.

Looked brand new and works great, I think refurbished is the way to go

Very happy with this purchase! The laptop looks brand new and Best Buy had the best price for this MacBook M2! Shipping was fast and the laptop was well protected!

Glad I made the decision to get the M2 and not the M3. They’re basically the same thing.

Here’s a detailed review of the 15-inch MacBook Air with the M2 chip and 256GB SSD. A great all around experience! The 15-inch MacBook Air M2 is Apple’s answer to users who wanted more screen real estate without stepping into the heavier, pricier MacBook Pro territory. It’s essentially a scaled-up version of the 13-inch Air, but that extra space unlocks a more immersive experience for work and media. Key Specs Feature Details Display 15.3” Liquid Retina (2880 x 1864) Processor Apple M2 chip (8-core CPU, 10-core GPU) Memory 8GB Unified RAM Storage 256GB SSD Battery Life Up to 18 hours Weight 3.3 lbs (1.5 kg) Ports 2x Thunderbolt / USB-4, MagSafe, headphone jack Camera 1080p FaceTime HD What Stands Out • Design & Portability: Despite the larger screen, it remains impressively thin and light. The aluminum chassis feels premium and durable, and the Midnight color option adds a sleek, modern vibe. • Display: The Liquid Retina screen is bright (around 473 nits), color-accurate, and ideal for watching videos or editing photos. It’s not OLED, but it holds its own with vivid colors and sharp detail A. • Performance: The M2 chip handles everyday tasks with ease—web browsing, video calls, light photo editing, and even some casual gaming. It’s fanless, so it stays silent, though it may throttle under sustained heavy loads B. • Speakers: The six-speaker system is a major upgrade over the 13-inch model. It delivers surprisingly rich audio with decent bass, making it great for music and movies A. • Battery Life: True to Apple’s claims, it can last up to 18 hours depending on usage. That’s a huge plus for mobile professionals or students. Trade-Offs • Limited Ports: Only two USB-C ports and a headphone jack. No HDMI or SD card slot, which might be limiting for creatives or those needing more connectivity A. • Base Storage: 256GB can feel tight, especially if you store media or large files. You might find yourself juggling external drives or cloud storage sooner than expected C. • No ProMotion or HDR: The display is 60Hz and lacks HDR support, which might matter if you’re used to high-refresh-rate screens or work with HDR content This MacBook Air is perfect for: • Users who want a larger screen without the bulk of a MacBook Pro. • Writers, students, and professionals who value portability and battery life. • Anyone who appreciates Apple’s ecosystem and wants a sleek, capable laptop for everyday use. If you’re thinking about using it for music production or heavier creative tasks, you might want to consider upgrading the RAM and storage. But for writing, browsing, and general productivity, this base model is a solid performer.

Highly reccomended. Thin, light and feels solid. Fast, elegant and over all well made device. However I did return this to BestBuy because of a trade in technicality on the MacBook Pro I was trading it for. They returned it becuase it had more ram than the Sku device selected as a trade in LOL! So if you are looking to buy a MacBook with a trade in, go to Apple, not Best Buy. It’s much easier and they give you a better warranty on the refubished units.

The MacBook Pro 15 offers exceptional performance with its powerful processor, stunning Retina display, and sleek aluminum design. Ideal for professionals, it handles demanding tasks like video editing and coding effortlessly. Battery life is solid, and the keyboard feels premium. However, it’s expensive and lacks sufficient port variety.

This item was shipped directly to our local outlet store. It has never disappointed me so far. It always starts up with ease, works lightning fast, and doesn’t need charging for close to three days (with consistent use). I have never been disappointed with any Best buy electronic device that we have purchased. Additionally, the people at the store were professional and helpful as (based on some reviews on this site) I was a little suspicious of this purchase. I would not hesitate to purchase a refurbished item from Best Buy as… In my experience… Items have worked well and always continue to be reliable.

I recently purchased a laptop from Best Buy, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The performance is outstanding—fast boot times, smooth multitasking, and great responsiveness for both work and entertainment. The display is crisp and vibrant, making streaming and content creation a joy. Battery life is impressive and easily lasts through a full day of work. Best Buy’s customer service was also top-notch. The staff were knowledgeable, helped me compare models based on my needs, and made the buying process simple and efficient. I also appreciated the in-store pickup option—it was fast and convenient.

I absolutely love my laptop. The screen is HUGE, very nice clean look to it. This PC does have all the bells and whistles one needs. Love the sreen mirror feature!

I have been learning over the years that refurbished is the way to go. I truly do not mind refurbished as long as I know I am getting it from a reputable seller. Like Apple or in this case Best Buy. Mac is great so I knew that this would be great for my daughter. Cheaper price - entry Mac as it’s an Air buuut it still has a revenant chip M2. So she will still get a fast laptop that will still keep up for quite some time. I have a MacBook Pro 2018 version and I do not even have the M1 chip and it is still thriving! I also bought for myself as refurbished from Best buy. I believe I bought it is 2019 or so. Of course it is slower than the newer products but it is still thriving and serving its purpose so I knew that we could count on Best Buy again for my daughter’s refurbished Apple Air.

Admittedly, I had my reservations in purchasing a refurbished Macbook; fortunately, I was proven wrong! The Macbook is in GREAT shape. There are no visible scratches/dings and the system is fast with a great resolution. I am very happy with my purchase

Laptop works perfectly, its light, and the processor is incredibly fast.

You wouldn’t be able to tell it wasn’t new outside of the generic cardboard box it comes in. Has worked great in the time I’ve used it.

I love the laptop!! It is like brand new and I have never had a problem with it! I am a HP user and now that I have this laptop, I feel so completed and productive now that everything is super fast and clear. 10/10 condition and product!

A great value on a excellent product. Have come to trust Geek Squad Refurbished products, this is the second one I have purchased, an Iphone and now this MacBook Air. Came in a box in excellent condition. Works great.

Great condition, only a couple of scratches. The laptop runs perfectly, exactly what I needed. Battery life is actually better than expected, especially with the larger screen. On screen color really pops in comparison to my previous daily user. (Coming from a Chromebook). All in all, very satisfied with my purchase.

Great condition and came with everything mentioned in the description. Could not be happier with the product. Not a single scratch on the macbook and everything runs perfectly. Service was great when I picked it up, everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend both the product and shopping at the location I purchased it from.

Overall a great powerful machine! I use it daily for photo/ video editing and streaming, and with the 15in display it makes multitasking worth getting the bigger screen size!

Great MacBook everything works great. The laptop looks brand new and works great. The Mac book moves fast no issues
