TL;DR: Score a refurbished 12″ Apple MacBook for only $750 as of Jan. 3.


Chances for returning to normal office and school settings in the beginning of 2021 are looking slim. So, if your computer is seeming less than reliable lately, now’s as good a time as any to invest in a new setup. You’re going to need it.

Unfortunately, most of us aren’t rolling in dough right after the holiday season — and this year hasn’t treated us very kindly. But the good news is you don’t need to break the bank to get a new computer packed with awesome features. In fact, this refurbished MacBook from 2015 still packs one helluva punch and is on sale for only $749.99 (regularly $1,499).

Rated “B” for some light scuffing or scratches, this MacBook is pre-loved, but refurbished to work as good as new. It’s equipped with an efficient Core M processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB hard drive, and more inside its sleek aluminum frame. Plus, it’s engineered with Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 Technology for efficient energy use and an abundance of ports (USB-C, USB 3.1, native DisplayPort video output with adapter support for HDMI and VGA) for connecting all of your essential devices — unlike new MacBooks, which dropped everything but the USB-C. 

At just two pounds and 13.1mm thin, this MacBook is the thinnest and lightest of all Mac notebooks. In comparison, the newest MacBook Air from 2020 is 2.8 pounds. Yet, it still boasts a full-size keyboard with LED backlit keys and a butterfly mechanism for precise key movement, as well as an astounding 3 million+ pixel display. And thanks to its 39.7Wh Li-Poly battery, you’ll get 10 hours of battery life on a single charge. That’ll surely make it a great companion for all your work from home or distance learning needs.

Regularly $1,499, you can get this refurbished laptop for only $749.99 for a limited time.
