Woot is selling a raft of refurbished M-series Apple laptops with prices starting at just $420<\/span> for a limited time. But act fast, because these deals will end on May 23, and they could sell out even sooner.<\/p>\n

Apple transformed the landscape when it launched its first M-series laptop in 2020, and it’s been producing some of the market’s best laptops<\/span><\/span> ever since. But MacBooks can still be pretty costly, so these deals are worth taking seriously.<\/p>\n

Refurbished M-series Apple MacBooks: From $420<\/span> See at Woot<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

While Woot is selling discounted Apple laptops with Intel chips inside, we recommend giving those a pass. They’ll be noticeably slower than the M-series models and offer shorter battery life to boot.<\/p>\n

If you want to spend as little as possible, the $420 13.3-inch M1 MacBook Air<\/span> is a solid option. It’s thin and light and will be more than enough for note-takers and others who don’t need tons of performance or storage. This model comes with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB solid-state drive in space gray, silver or gold colors.<\/p>\n

The most costly option is the refurbished 13.3-inch M2 MacBook Pro, a laptop with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. It’ll set you back $630<\/span> in space gray or silver. Alternatively, there’s the 13.6-inch MacBook Air with an M2 chip for $610<\/span>.<\/p>\n

It’s also worth remembering that these refurbished laptops come at a time when you can get the brand-new MacBook Neo for just $589<\/span>. It also has 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, but comes in some stunning colors and is a thoroughly modern Apple laptop. It uses the A18 Pro chip from the iPhone 16 Pro, but don’t let that put you off. CNET’s Matt Elliot noted in his MacBook Neo review that the chip “is powerful enough to provide [a] fulfilling MacOS experience.” And its industrial design looks every bit the $1,000 laptop, not one almost half that price.<\/p>\n

    Why this deal matters<\/h2>\n

    These refurbished laptops are a great chance to get a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro at a discount. The new MacBook Neo might be the best option for some, but if you’re set on an Air or a Pro, these refurbished deals aren’t to be missed. But act fast, because these deals could vanish quickly and there’s no guarantee we’ll see similar offers later.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
