The popularity of Apple’s computer products means that discounts don’t happen very often, if at all. The company’s MacBook Airs are some of the finest laptops on the market. The problem is, they’re also pretty expensive. The good news is that it is possible to find a refurbished MacBook Air laptop within your budget. Apple laptops have earned a reputation for withstanding the test of time and for retaining their resale value.  This means it’s safer to buy a refurbished MacBook Air than other laptops, and within your budget if you know where to look.

What You Need to Know First

The first thing to do is determine which type of MacBook laptop suits you. At the moment, there are three primary lines: The MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air, one of Apple’s most popular laptops.

Buy a MacBook Air from Apple’s Refurbished Store

Apple accepts defective MacBook’s from owners, repairs and sells them as refurbished. These refurbished laptops are tested extensively, and Apple guarantees that they’ll work as well as a new model. The company also offers a one-year warranty. Something to keep in mind is that just because the manufacturer refurbished the laptops, doesn’t mean they’ll be of better quality than seller refurbished products. You can typically get a better deal for a MacBook air laptop from a third-party reseller as well.

Buy from a Reseller

Buy a refurbished and tested MacBook Air such as refurbished MacBook Air 13″, or MacBook Air 11″ from a reseller. A growing number of online resellers are purchasing used MacBook’s from owners, fix them up, put them through rigorous testing, then resell them. These resell stores (at least the good ones) offer their own warranty.  In most cases, reseller prices are significantly lower than official refurbished MacBook Air laptops from Apple.

DV Warehouse is a trusted computer store located in Hollywood, California. DV Warehouse offers the best values on high-quality used Apple computers.

Buyer Beware

While you can buy a used MacBook Air laptop directly from owners, it’s not worth the risk. First, the MacBook won’t come with a warranty, so you’re on your own if it ends up being a lemon. Second, you won’t get support either if something goes wrong. Because MacBook Air laptops are expensive, buying from an individual isn’t worth the risk.
