Don’t settle for a no-name laptop when $200 gets you a MacBook Air

TL;DR: A fully functional MacBook Air for $199.97 (MSRP $999) makes the perfect backup laptop (or budget upgrade) — light, fast, and dependable.

Every household needs a backup laptop—the one you grab when your main machine dies mid-deadline, when your kid leaves their Chromebook at school, or when you simply don’t feel like lugging around your expensive daily driver. And for $199.97, that backup should absolutely be a MacBook.

This refurbished 13″ MacBook Air (2017) hits the sweet spot: lightweight, reliable, and powerful enough for everyday tasks without feeling outdated.

With its Intel Core i5 processor, 128GB SSD, and 12-hour battery life, it handles browsing, streaming, emailing, video calls, and light productivity. Need a travel laptop? A couch laptop? A “just in case” laptop? This one checks all the boxes.

The bright 13.3″ display, smooth Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth support, and classic MacBook build quality make it a pleasure to use — especially given the price. And because it ships with free delivery and a Grade A/B refurbished rating, you’re getting excellent condition hardware without the guilt of buying brand-new.

Backup computers don’t need to be clunky or cheap-feeling. They can be a MacBook Air.

Just grab this refurb MacBook Air for $199.97 (MSRP $999) with free shipping before everyone else realizes that.
