Apple now sells refurbished MacBook Air M1 models starting at $ 849

Apple today began offering refurbished versions of the MacBook Air M1 that was first launched in November 2020. Prices for refurbished MacBook Air models start at $ 849, which is $ 150 cheaper than the standard $ 999 price for a new model.

Apple has M1 acMacBook Air‌ models in gold, silver and space gray, with an 8-core processor, 7-core GPU and 8 GB of RAM available for purchase, along with a model priced above $ 1,019, which has 16 GB RAM.

The price is about 15% lower than the retail, which is standard for refurbished devices. Apple also began selling refurbished M1 MacBook Pro models for the first time yesterday.

Apple has limited stock available and the contents of the refurbished store vary depending on what people have sent for repairs and replacement. Additional state-of-the-art models can be added in the future, so those looking for a specific ‌M1‌ ‌MacBook Air‌ configuration should return regularly.

All refurbished Apple Macs come with the same one-year warranty as a new device, along with all the manuals and accessories, including a USB-C power adapter and USB-C cable. Refurbished devices go through a rigorous testing, repair, repackaging and cleaning process and are identical to new devices.
