We do nearly everything on our computers. Whether it’s work or entertainment, shopping, paying bills or playing games, our machines get a workout on the daily.
That’s why it makes sense that many of us need a backup laptop to keep things moving along. Not another overpriced flagship or a fragile device that makes you nervous every time you leave the house, but a reliable Mac you can take with you anywhere and trust to get the job done.
If that sounds like exactly what you need, this Grade A refurbished Apple MacBook Air 13.3″ (2020) with the M1 chip is on sale for just $384.99 (MSRP $999), and it’s the perfect second Mac for getting stuff done in the real world.
The Apple-designed M1 chip is still a game-changer, even years in. You get an 8-core CPU that’s up to 3.5x faster than Intel-based laptops, an 8-core GPU for up to 5x better graphics, and a 16-core Neural Engine for machine learning tasks that make everything from photo editing to multitasking smooth and snappy.
Paired with 256GB of SSD storage and all-day battery life (up to 18 hours), this MacBook Air keeps pace whether you’re on a flight, in a meeting or just working from the couch.
The 13.3″ Retina display delivers crisp visuals, Dolby Atmos speakers give you immersive audio and the fanless design means it runs silently no matter how hard you push it. Since this is a Grade A refurb, you’re basically getting near-mint condition hardware—minimal scuffs, if any, and all the performance of a machine right from the Apple Store.
And for under $400, you can finally stop worrying about dragging your main laptop everywhere. Keep this one as a travel buddy, a backup for the office or even your dedicated streaming and browsing machine at home.
Light, powerful and affordable, it’s the kind of deal you don’t want to miss.
The perfect backup MacBook does exist—and it’s the 2020 MacBook Air M1 at $384.99.
