A stack of MacBooks is pictured from the top down.

If you’re in search of some great Apple deals, or more specifically some of the best MacBook deals, one of the best places to look is the refurbished aisle. Shopping refurbished can save you a ton on a MacBook, and because of the quality of Apple laptops you know you’ll be getting a MacBook with a lot of life left in it. You’ll also get a MacBook backed by a warranty when you shop refurbished, so in many ways it’s similar to buying something brand new from Apple. There are quite a few refurbished MacBook deals taking place right now, and we’ve done the heavy lifting of tracking them down. Keep reading for the best refurbished MacBook deals and a little information on what each model has to offer.
MacBook Air 11.6-inch (2015) -- from $165

Once the latest MacBook Air but now eight years old and still competent, the MacBook Air 11.6-inch (2015) is a great starting point for anyone new to macOS or who just needs something financially on par with a Chromebook. It's a refurbished model but it comes with a one-year warranty so there's peace of mind here. It won't run the latest macOS unfortunately, but its Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB of memory and 128GB of SSD storage helps you perform the basics. It still has all the style of a MacBook so we're thinking this could be a good entry point as your child's first MacBook or if you want a project.

Don’t need a MacBook Pro? Save $300 on the 15-inch MacBook Air
The screen of the MacBook Air M2.

For those who are having trouble deciding which of the latest models to buy from MacBook deals, here's an offer from Best Buy that may push you in its direction -- the 15-inch Apple MacBook Air M2 with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD for $999, following a $300 discount on its original price of $1,299. If you don't need the professional-level capabilities of the MacBook Pro, it's highly recommended that you take advantage of this bargain, but you have to act fast because there's no telling when it will get taken down.

Why you should buy the 15-inch Apple MacBook Air M2
The 14-inch Apple MacBook Pro M3 Max stands on top of our list of the best MacBooks, but if you prefer the lightness and quietness of the MacBook Air and you don't need the extreme power of the MacBook Pro, you're better off with the 15-inch Apple MacBook Air M2. Its design is very similar to its smaller counterpart, the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air M2, with the same flat panels, narrow bezels, and thin profile -- just 0.46 of an inch -- among other elements. However, the larger 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display makes a huge difference, especially if you'll be needing all the screen real estate that you can get for activities like building websites, managing spreadsheets, editing videos, and working on apps with complex menus.
