An affordable way to upgrade to a new computer
If you want a laptop that’s lightweight and great for multitasking, then you could get a lot of mileage out of this MacBook Air. Working on the go may be easier with a computer that weighs under three pounds. Bounce between apps on a whim and get the most out of 8GB RAM. If you need a bit more power to run demanding apps, turn on the Turbo Boost: 2.7GHz and see if that cuts down on lag time. The turbo may be particularly useful if you notice any lag while running art or design programs. This MacBook comes with a 128GB SSD, which runs silently and is a lot easier on your computer fan.
Put the 13-inch display and Intel HD Graphics 6000 GPU to work streaming movies in HD. You could even connect a few Bluetooth speakers and create your own surround sound. Plus, this model of MacBook still has plenty of ports for hardware connections. That includes two USB ports, a headphone jack, and a Thunderbolt port, and there’s also a place to pop in an SD card. Naturally, there’s a port for the charger, and a MagSafe charger is included.
Score a new computer for a low price
Let your old laptop rest now that upgrading doesn’t have to break the bank, and is more eco-friendly than buying brand-new. For a limited time, get a refurbished Apple MacBook Air on sale for $388.99, marked down from $1,249.
