Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got the last one of these in stock Especially for the price, this refurbished M1 chip Mac Air has been really good so far. The rose gold color is gorgeous. With the M1 the speed is fast, the depth of color is great and the sound is really good with the dual speakers on either side of the keyboard. The external case only had 1 scratch on the back - other than that Im super happy with every aspect of it. Its also very light - lighter than the 2024 version - Check out reviews of the M1 chip - overall its better than the M2 - I dont know about later versions but I really feel like I did well here. Super enjoying my Mac Air!

The M1 Macs, released in 2020, marked a significant turning point for Apple computers. They were the first to feature Apple's own custom-designed ARM-based M1 chip, which replaced the Intel processors used in previous Macs. This transition resulted in a dramatic leap in performance and efficiency. Pros: * Blazing-fast performance: The M1 chip delivers exceptional speed and responsiveness, making everyday tasks and demanding workflows feel incredibly smooth. * Exceptional battery life: M1 Macs offer significantly longer battery life compared to their Intel predecessors, allowing for extended use without needing to plug in. * Quiet operation: The M1's efficiency translates to less heat generation, eliminating the need for noisy cooling fans in many models. * Seamless compatibility: Rosetta 2 technology allows most existing Mac apps to run smoothly on M1 Macs, even if they haven't been specifically updated. * Excellent price-to-performance ratio: M1 Macs offer incredible value for the performance they deliver. Cons: * Limited RAM: Some M1 Macs have a maximum of 16GB of RAM, which may be a limitation for certain professional workflows. * Compatibility issues: While Rosetta 2 handles most apps well, some older or specialized software may not be fully compatible with the M1 architecture. * Limited external display support: Early M1 Macs could only support one external display, though newer models have addressed this limitation. Overall: The M1 Macs represent a major advancement in computing, offering a compelling combination of performance, efficiency, and value. They are an excellent choice for a wide range of users, from casual users to creative professionals. While there are some limitations, the pros far outweigh the cons, making M1 Macs a highly recommended option.

I’ve had this MacBook Air M1 for 3 weeks now and so far so good. It looks and performs like I purchased it brand new. At first I was very skeptical about buying a refurbished item but I’m glad I took the plunge. It was in mint condition with no blemishes. It runs powerfully and the battery life has really great run time. The only con was that I ordered it in Space Grey but received it in Rose Gold. But because of the huge savings and the fact that it was in new like condition, I decided to keep it as is. I would highly recommend any refurbished item that’s Geek Squad Certified.

The best laptop I have purchased in years :)! I live outside the country and this machine has impressed me with the battery life and speed and features I was not expecting! No issues whatsoever.

This items is excellent! A little older than I wanted but not bad. Speed, battery life, and display are great. I can text anyone who has an iPhone (I miss being able to text anyone from my computer)

Absolutely love it! This was my first MacBook I have ever owned and I have no complaints, battery life is perfect! It lasts a long time! It came in perfect condition no big scratches or anything like that, that I noticed anyway! Would definitely recommend!

Okay so I apparently brought a macbook off of best buy’s geek squad and was a little skeptical amd worried a little bit because it might hbe tears and rips. Suprisingly it isnt. It came brand new condition and I finally needed a new laptop to start my fall semester for school. I will say when I first arrived at best buy for it. I was so freakin excited when I saw the girl come out with it. And opened it, it was so pretty! I am in love.

Arrived in great condition - no sign of heavy use and low battery cycles (<50). If you're pondering whether to go with the "old" M1 and if 8GB ram is enough, I'm happy to report that this package handles ~20ish Chrome tabs, some light scripting in Python/shell, and some streaming (Spotify/YouTube in the background) really well. The memory pressure and the CPU load stays pretty low and I have not noticed any lag. I did some photo editing and it handled that with minimal effort as well. All this while also rendering an external UWQHD display (3440x1440)! The growing theme with this laptop is that it's much faster, snappier/effortless, with much longer battery life than my past one. For reference, my last laptop was a 2017 MacBook Pro with an i7, 16GB RAM, and a dedicated graphics card. I highly recommend it! It is great, and doubly so at this price point.

Bought as a gift for my sister who was in her last year of college. She needed a light, powerful and reliable machine to finish her final papers and presentations while handling various types of media and content. She says there are no issues with it being refurbished; works like new. She's really happy with it and I'm still an awesome big brother!

Best computer I ever owned. Most lightweight laptop for carrying in a backpack. Got it for a great price and used it all throughout college. I finally had to upgrade due to getting a job in AI that required a faster processor and better specs. I miss this computer!

I recently bought this Geek Squad Certified Refurbished MacBook Air, and overall, I’m very happy with the purchase. The device arrived in excellent physical condition and has been performing smoothly so far, the M1 chip is fast, apps run without any issues, and for everyday work it feels just like a new MacBook. The only thing worth mentioning is the battery. It arrived with about 85% health, so it drains a little faster than a brand-new unit. I do need to charge it more often than expected, but it’s still perfectly manageable - typically just one charge a day for a couple of hours, which works fine for my routine. For the price, this is a solid deal, especially if you’re okay with a slightly reduced battery life. Performance and build quality are great, and Geek Squad’s certification gives some peace of mind. Overall, a very good refurbished buy.

I needed a replacement for my MacBook Air when I decided to go back to school. This Certified Refurbished MacBook Air 13.3” M1 Chip 8GB Memory 256 SSD - Gold It has everything I need and at a great price! I love the sleek design, it’s super lightweight and loads so quickly! One feature that I especially love about this laptop is Touch ID…it makes unlocking both the machine itself and sites you have saved on your keychain a one-touch motion. Something else I’ve noticed with this machine is how crisp and vibrant colors are. The sound is just okay…it does its job and easily connects to AirPods and Bluetooth speakers. Like all Apple devices, it was a breeze to set up from my previous laptop and to add this machine to my external hard drive for backing up. Overall, if you’re looking for a reliable laptop with a little under the hood, this is a great buy.

My first MacBook and I was an awe it was in great condition works fantastic and will buy again

If you travel a lot and need a small laptop that is super fast and has a long lasting battery, theres nothing better than the 13.3 inch m1 macbook air. It came with a few scratches but it works perfect. Good deal.

This was my first MacBook ever and I was excited. The battery like was at 85% which wasn’t bad, and you can see basic usage of the laptop like little bitty dust in the keyboard but the apple charger was kinda gross but it works. I love it though. Didn’t have any visible damage, just 1 or 2 ever so tiny chips that I have to remember where they are. I’m glad I got a good one after reading many horror stories about geek squad. Now we’re inseparable from eachother, I love it some much, it’s in really good shape.

Order this as a gift for my niece as a college gift she loves it battery life is good screen coloring was good as well

This laptop work great and the battery is really good. Look new too

I was hesitant about buying a refurbished laptop but pleasantly surprised. The laptop came to me in perfect condition, if it does have any scratches they are not visible. The most concerning thing to me was the battery. Especially since it is an almost 5 year old model, those concerns were unfounded. I used it for about 4 hours the day I got it and then used it almost the entire day after and I still didn't have to plug it in. I am actually typing this review on 1% battery and it still hasn't died. I love it and am very happy with this purchase!

Overall pretty happy. Had a couple dents and dings on the corners and a few sticker residue on it . So far, battery life is good. Took 3 weeks to get it when the first one was lost in transit. Definitely a rose gold color, good memory, no issues with start up or program glitches. Definitely worth the money.

Ordered this MacBook Air to replace a 2014 model. Needed a newer model with an operating system that would work with the new school Blackboard operating requirements. Received laptop and charger in the box. Great condition, with minor scratches on the top left corner of the case and on the bottom. Screen in great condition, along with keyboard and trackpad. Battery life is great. Use is primarily for online school work, and internet browsing.
