Walmart is selling refurbished MacBooks for under $150

Add as a preferred source on Google

Even with the discounts from MacBook deals, Apple’s laptops are expensive. However, if you’re just after their timeless designs and you don’t mind going for older models that aren’t brand new, you can get one for less than $150! Here are a couple of refurbished MacBook deals from Walmart that you should check out if you’re interested: the Apple MacBook Air 2015 for only $135, down $20 from its usual price of $155, and the Apple MacBook Pro 2012  for just $140, for $35 in savings on its regular price of $175. You’re going to have to manage your expectations considering the low prices of these MacBooks though — there may be some signs of wear and tear, which shouldn’t be a surprise considering their age, but at the very least, these devices are tested for a guarantee that you’ll receive them in working condition.

The 2015 edition of the Apple MacBook Air is almost a decade old, but it’s still a pretty decent device if you’re only planning to use it for basic tasks like browsing the internet and working on online apps. Inside it are the 1.6 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, Intel HD Graphics 5000, and 4GB of RAM, so don’t expect a lot of speed, but its 11.6-inch screen offers 1366 x 768 resolution, for a passable display in terms of sharpness and colors. Storage space is pretty limited on its 64GB hard drive, but that should be enough if you’re not going to save that many files on the 2015 Apple MacBook Air.

The 2012 Apple MacBook Pro is even older, but it still looks pretty modern as its design shares certain similarities with the most recent models of the laptop. It’s only equipped with the Intel Core i5 processor, Intel HD Graphics 4000, and 4GB of RAM though, so don’t expect it to handle demanding processes such as editing videos. The laptop features a 13.3-inch screen with 1280 x 800 resolution, making it pretty portable, and it comes with a 720p FaceTime camera and an omnidirectional microphone for video calls. It’s got much more storage on its 500GB hard drive, for enough space for documents and presentations.

Shopping for back-to-school? These are the budget laptops I’d actually recommend
From a $359 Chromebook to the cheapest way into macOS, these are the budget picks worth your money.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

The back-to-school season often turns into a laptop, especially the budget ones that aren't too heavy on your wallet. Due to the ongoing memory crisis, most manufacturers have already bumped up their laptop prices, including Apple. However, that doesn't mean that I won't help you get a new machine. So, for this one, I spent time digging through spec sheets, customer ratings, and price tags, finding devices that don't just look cheap in an Amazon listing, but actually hold up. 

From a flexible touchscreen Chromebook to the least expensive way into macOS, these six laptops balance price and performance well. I'd hand any one of them to a student heading back to campus this fall, depending on what they need and what their priorities are.

Asus’ latest Zenbook puts a seriously bright OLED screen inside an impossibly slim body
The Zenbook 14 Air is only 11mm thick but still packs a 77Wh battery
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Asus has introduced a new AMD-powered version of the Zenbook 14 Air 2026, combining a bright OLED display and a large battery inside an 11mm-thick chassis. It weighs 1.19kg, keeping it firmly in ultraportable territory despite the 77Wh battery inside.

The Zenbook 14 Air 2026 itself is not entirely new. Asus launched an Intel configuration powered by the Core Ultra 9 386H in China back in January. The latest version switches to AMD’s Ryzen AI 7 H 445 and is priced at CNY 9,999, or around $1,477. (via Notebookcheck)

Qualcomm is set to ratchet up chip prices in September, and your next gadget upgrade could bear the brunt
The price hike could touch every Snapdragon-powered device category.
The new Qualcomm Snadragon 8 Elite Gen 5

I want you to sit with this for a second. Qualcomm, the company whose Snapdragon chips sit inside your Android phone and tablet, your Windows laptop, your Meta smart glasses, your Galaxy Watch, and your wireless earbuds, reportedly sent a letter to every major customer telling them prices are going up by double digits. 

The price hike will be in effect from September 1, 2026, a recent Bloomberg report claims. Essentially, all the companies placing their chip orders after that will pay a higher price.
