How many of these $200 MacBooks do you think we have left? [1]

["Boing Boing'S Shop"]

Date: 2025-08-13

TL;DR: Right now, this MacBook Air is only $200 (reg. $999).

Not everyone needs a brand-new, top-of-the-line laptop to get things done. If you're mostly writing papers, browsing the web, binging shows, or powering through emails, this MacBook Air will hold its own and then some. It's also only $199.97 on sale (reg. $999), but we might run out soon.

Why this particular MacBook Air?

This refurbished laptop keeps things simple but solid. It runs on a 1.8GHz Intel Core i5 processor with 8GB of RAM, which means it can handle multitasking without turning into a jet engine. The 128GB SSD gives you snappy storage for apps, documents, photos, and everything in between. Whether you're jumping between tabs, editing a slideshow, or watching HD videos, it moves faster than you'd expect from a laptop in this price range.

The 13.3-inch display has a 1440×900 resolution, which may not sound flashy, but it's bright, clear, and easy on the eyes. It's a great size for working from coffee shops, taking notes in class, or catching up on Netflix. With up to 12 hours of battery life, you won't be tethered to an outlet either.

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth make it easy to stay connected, and the MagSafe charger keeps power-ups simple. Plus, it supports macOS Monterey, so it's compatible with most modern apps and updates.

This is a Grade A/B refurbished model, so expect a few minor scuffs but no major flaws. For the price, you're getting a dependable Mac that still performs where it counts.

If you want a low-cost laptop, this MacBook Air is only $199.97 for a little while longer (or until we run out).
