Apple has raised Mac and iPad prices, which, of course, is bad news for all the potential buyers. If you were looking to grab a MacBook but it seems a bit out of reach now, there are a few ways to pick one up for less. You can wait for a sale like Black Friday to save a few hundred bucks on one, or consider snagging a certified refurbished version.

Back Market has quite a few models in excellent condition, and it’s currently offering the professionally refurbished M4 MacBook Air at an amazing discount. This 13-inch Apple laptop (16GB RAM, 256GB storage) normally sits at $999 at Back Market, which is already less than what a new one would cost you. Today, however, you save an additional $145 on it, which drops the price to $854. Trading in an older, eligible device can shave a few hundred more off your purchase, but the exact value depends on the condition of the device you’re trading in. For instance, sending in an iPhone 11 can knock $125 off the price, while an iPad Air can save you over $200.

Lightweight but powerful

Apple’s M4 chip makes this MacBook Air really efficient and super speedy. Everyday apps launch a lot faster, but it can also handle demanding professional work like 4K and 8K video editing or coding perfectly well. This makes the laptop great for just about everything, from casual streaming to office tasks.

This particular model comes with 16GB of RAM which makes multitasking smooth. The 256GB storage is pretty roomy – enough to house all your important data (high-resolution photos, videos, programs, office files) with ease.

Apple doesn’t compromise on the looks, and the M4 MacBook Air is no exception. Its sleek, lightweight design is easy to carry and feels great to work on, too! You’ll appreciate the modest 13-inch screen that’s just the right size. It’s not too big, but also not too small to make everything feel cramped.

Back Market has graded this model as “Excellent”, which means it arrives in flawless condition and feels almost new! A power adapter and a cable are included, so you won’t need to purchase anything extra. You can now pick up the M4 MacBook Air in Midnight for $854 at Back Market. Sky Blue color is also available, but it’s sitting slightly higher at $879.

Trading in an older device can save you even more. Shipping is free, and you also get free 30-day returns if you’re not satisfied with your purchase.
