Apple made bold claims when the MacBook Air M1 first launched: faster than similar Intel-based laptops, a fanless design, and all-day battery life. Five years later, those claims still hold up better than you might expect. This refurbished MacBook Air M1 offers a surprisingly snappy, silent experience for just $514.99 (Reg. $1,299) while supplies last, and it could offer a noticeable performance boost from your current aging PC.

The 13.3-inch Retina display still looks great, with crisp resolution and sharp color. The M1 chip inside gives you an 8-core CPU and GPU combo that makes multitasking feel fast and smooth, whether you’re editing docs, hopping on video calls, or juggling a dozen tabs.

Since there’s no fan, it runs completely silent. It also has up to 18 hours of battery life, so you’re not constantly reaching for a charger. It boots fast, handles everyday tasks with ease, and feels responsive from the jump thanks to the 128GB SSD.

This one’s in grade “A” refurbished condition, so it basically looks new, and it’s just way cheaper than heading to the Apple store.

Grab this refurbished MacBook deal before they’re sold out for $514.99 (Reg. $1,299).
