The laptop itself is a refurbished 2010 or 2011 model which has been rigorously tested to make sure it works just as it should, so although it’s an older style, it will do everything you need it to. Included in the order is the laptop and a replacement charger, and it’s worth mentioning that it’ll arrive in a generic box with no original packaging or accessories, although you can pick these up as extras elsewhere.

Wowcher offers this description of the condition you can expect to receive your new Macbook Air in: “Good: A few signs of wear-and-tear show that it’s clearly seen a fair bit of use, but overall it’s in good shape. There might be a few surface marks, but it’s still aesthetically sound. Functionality isn’t affected in the slightest, though - everything works perfectly!”

The Macbook Air is perfect for hauling between classes as it weighs just 2.94lbs, and measures less than 0.7 inches thick, making it easy to pop into your bag or backpack. It also comes pre-loaded with macOS High Sierra and MS Office-work, giving you all the tools you need to use it for work or study, and has reliable Wi-Fi, Thunderbolt, USB 2.0, SDXC slot, and up to 512GB third-party SSD upgrade support keep you prepared for any scenario.

It even has up to seven hours of battery life, making it easier to use on the go or in lectures without worrying about finding a plug socket to charge it up. If you do want a newer model, Curry’s has currently slashed the price of its 2025 APPLE MacBook Air 13.6" from £849 to £707.50.

You can also visit the Dell refurbishment site, which lets you save up to 40% on some of the brand’s best laptops with some as low priced as £309. However, if you want to take up Wowcher on its offer, you can get the Macbook Air with Intel Core i5 for £94 now.
