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.

What is Copilot? Everything you need to know about Microsoft’s AI assistant
There’s a Copilot for almost everything now. Here’s which one you need
Microsoft Copilot Banner Featured

Microsoft has attached the Copilot name to so many products that a simple question like "What is Copilot?" now needs a little more context. There is the main Microsoft Copilot chatbot, Copilot inside Microsoft 365, GitHub Copilot for developers, Gaming Copilot for Xbox users, and a separate category of Windows laptops called Copilot+ PCs.

For most people, Microsoft Copilot means the company’s general-purpose AI assistant. So you'd expect it to answer questions, search the web, generate and edit images, and the rest of the usual AI chatbot features. You can access it through a browser or dedicated apps for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. It is also integrated into Microsoft Edge, the Xbox mobile app, and Game Bar on Windows 11.

I tried to parody the most absurd AI products, but the tech industry beat me to it
The joke was supposed to be that every household object gets cameras, AI insights, and a premium tier. Apparently, that’s now a business plan
Imaginary AI products

I wanted to invent an AI product so silly that no founder could turn it into a seed round.

It had to solve a problem nobody had, collect far more data than the problem deserved, and turn normal behavior into an insight that sounded vaguely disappointed in its owner. Somewhere around the third feature, it would ask for a subscription.

I spent a fortune on a Copilot+ PC, and I’ve barely ever touched Microsoft’s AI
Microsoft needs to give Copilot+ PC owners a reason to use Copilot
Copilot

There is a dedicated Copilot key on my ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED. Months after buying the laptop, it may be one of the least important keys on the entire keyboard. My Zenbook UM3406 runs on AMD’s Ryzen AI 300 series processor, complete with a dedicated NPU offering up to 50 TOPS of AI performance. That qualifies it as a Copilot+ PC, which makes it a part of what Microsoft once described as the new era for Windows.

AI is already a regular part of my workday. I use it for research, brainstorming, and working through ideas. But rather than relying on something built into the Windows OS, I've relied on the likes of ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.
