Apple Late 2020 MacBook Air with Apple M1 Chip, 13-inch, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Silver (Renewed Premium)

So you can get a 2020 MacBook Air for about $400 these days, is that the right move for anyone in their right mind? Yes. Absolutely yes.I've bought or played with a few Netbooks, but the reliability is absolutely terrible, as in the screen fails in a couple of years. For a couple hundred bucks more, you get an actual laptop that has good battery life, can play your YouTube and scroll your Facebook, and oh yeah, it's an actual LAPTOP that can store files, run a gazillion apps (including games), has a quality touchpad and keyboard, and a dazzling screen.I got one because I need to write product reviews and respond to emails, and I'm just tired of dealing with the janky Netbooks that can't save files properly or actually run the full version of Steam or Blizzard app so I can play a few card games in the evening.Unlike an iPad where your copy of Hearthstone you bought it to play stops working in a year unless you buy a brand new iPad for more money, the power of a full laptop ensures that basic apps like this will work practically forever.Usability is excellent. Scrolling and zooming is smooth, keyboard feels great and responsive, screen is easy on the eyes. Latest Mac OS runs, and runs fine. Unlike Windows you won't be hunting down drivers for hours (days?) and after installing the latest OS you can get right to work.App installation is clunky on a Mac unless you use the App Store (by design) so it's a pain in the neck as always. Likewise finding folder locations is also a pain in the neck because Apple doesn't want you to use them.That said if you have simple needs, even an old Mac Ultrabook is still an Ultrabook. People at my old job used to constantly complain they wanted a computer that was fast AND small AND light. Oh yeah, and with a good battery life. They were using Windows laptops but what they wanted was a Macbook Air. And who can blame them? For 90% of people an M1 MacBook Air that's been refurbished is still a better laptop than anything that runs Windows until you get into thousands of dollars price tag.If you want a first computer, a web computer, a light gaming-on-the-go or card-games-on-your-lap computer this is what you want. I wouldn't use it for a desk computer (a Mac Mini is great for most people) but for a laptop, it's still the king. Get the newest model if you have money to burn or need the power (you'll know if you do).

The only proof that it’s not brand new is the vax that it came in and the battery being at 95%, it looks clean and brand new otherwise. The screen is beautiful its lighter than the pro and its seems like a good value for money. Any smudge is from my hand, also it’s 128 gb storage 8gb ram like it say in the description.
