Working from home and need a computer upgrade? The mid-2019 Apple MacBook Air isn't usually this affordable, but today only, you can grab one in refurbished condition at Woot for only $739.99. That's hundreds of dollars less than you'd pay for a brand new model and even less than Apple charges it its refurb store.

There's very little reason not to opt for a refurbished model over a brand new laptop with deals like this. Not only do you save big, but these models are also refurbished directly by Apple and come with a 1-year warranty from Woot. Apple's ensured they're in working condition and the quality you'd expect from the company, so the only thing you'll likely notice is different than a new model is the packaging it comes it.

This model of Apple's MacBook Air was released last July as a spec-bump to the 2018 model. It's equipped with a 13.3-inch Retina Display with True Tone, along with a dual-core 8th-Gen Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and your choice of a 128GB or 256GB SSD. It also has a Force Touch trackpad that allows you to use multi-touch gestures to become more efficient while you're working, as well as individual LED-backlit keys, Touch ID sensor, and the Apple T2 Security Chip to ensure your private data remains safe.

If you're looking for a portable laptop that balances size and weight with power and speed, the MacBook Air is for you. It's great for day-to-day work or studying and is a huge update on the previous non-Retina MacBook Air models that came before it. We named the MacBook Air the best overall MacBook choice in 2020. Check out our MacBook Air review for an in-depth look at all the capabilities of this machine if you need help making your mind up.
