You’ve always wanted a Mac -- of course, you do, they’re great -- but the high cost of living means you don’t even have a firstborn to sacrifice in exchange for one. That’s a bigger problem than we can solve, but we can at least help you get a Mac for a decent price. During our Refurbished Event, running until September 30, we're offering all kinds of refurbished electronics at major discounts, including the Apple MacBook Air you’ve been looking for. Yes, this specific computer, it was destined for you. We can’t tell you how we know. We took a blood oath.

What we can tell you is this early 2014 model hit the market at over $1,000, thanks to the 22-nm Haswell 1.4GHz Intel Core i5 processor and 4GB of onboard 1600 MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM that made it one of the most efficient and powerful slim laptops around. It even has Turbo Boost 2.0 to provide extra power when you need it and greater energy efficiency when you don't, which is useful when you're working away from an outlet for a while. It also features an integrated Intel HD Graphics 5000 graphics processor and 128GB of onboard storage to manage all of your files.

Need to take a video call? The 720p FaceTime HD webcam and backlit 13.3" widescreen TFT LED active-matrix glossy display have you covered. Plus, with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, you'll always be able to get online whenever you need to. Oh, and with this limited-time deal, you'll also get a storage case and a charger with your refurbished MacBook Air. It's almost like buying a brand-new Mac, except this one is, you know, old. But it works like new! Most importantly, it costs way, way less. Like, absurdly less. “You’ll start wondering if you’ve inadvertently gotten involved in the blood oath” less.

Gear up during our Refurbished Event, running until September 30. You can get this Apple MacBook Air 13.3" Core i5 for 75% off $1,199 at just $295.99 now.
