Rumor has it that Apple is launching a new low-cost MacBook this year — potentially as soon as March 4, when it’s hosting a “special experience” in select cities. The new MacBook will reportedly run on an iPhone chipset, come in several fun colors, and retail for around $600 to $700, a price point usually reserved for nice Chromebooks. But if that’s even pushing your budget, I found an Apple laptop on sale for even cheaper right now.
Best Buy has a preowned 13-inch M1 MacBook Air marked down to $499.99 as of mid-February. That’s a whopping 60% off its suggested retail price of $1,249.99. It comes in a silver finish and features 512GB of storage, which is double the capacity of the base model. (Walmart usually sells that one for $649, though it’s currently sold out there.)
As a “Geek Squad Certified Refurbished” unit, this MacBook is used but fixed up to work good as new. It’s covered by a 90-day parts and labor warranty.
