Help choosing your MacBook Air
Which MacBook Air should I buy?
Start with the newest model your budget allows, then choose memory and storage. Apple silicon models use Apple’s own M-series chip; Intel models use Intel Core processors and cost less. The list below covers every MacBook Air we have in stock, with the chip, screen and weight from Apple’s published specifications and the configurations we can send you today.

How much memory and storage do I need?
8GB of memory is plenty for web browsing, email, office documents, streaming and video calls. Choose 16GB if you keep many apps open at once or edit photos and video. For storage, 256GB suits most people who keep files in iCloud or on an external drive; choose 512GB or more if you keep a large photo or music library on the laptop itself.
MacBook Air or MacBook Pro?
The MacBook Air is the light, simple choice for everyday use, study and travel. A MacBook Pro suits longer, heavier work such as video editing, coding or music production, and is also made with larger screens. Compare both in our refurbished MacBook Pro range.
What you get with every one
It comes with a compatible charger, a minimum 80% battery health and the latest compatible macOS installed. Before grading we factory reset it with all previous user data permanently removed, and test the screen, keyboard and trackpad, ports, memory and storage, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, camera, microphone and speakers. Every grade has the same 12-month warranty.

- Grade A – minimal or no signs of use.
- Grade B – light cosmetic wear, visible only under close inspection.
- Grade C – visible cosmetic wear at the lowest price.

Is a refurbished MacBook Air worth it?
For most people, yes. You get the same MacBook Air for less than new, tested and graded by us, with a 12-month warranty and 30-day returns. Every grade works fully; the grade only describes how it looks.
Which refurbished MacBook Air should I buy?
Buy the newest model your budget allows, then choose memory and storage. The Compare tab lists the chip, screen, weight and latest macOS Apple lists for each model in stock, and the buying guide goes through them one by one.
What is the difference between a refurbished and a used MacBook Air?
A used or second-hand MacBook Air is usually sold as it is. A refurbished one from us has been tested, factory reset with all previous user data permanently removed, cleaned and graded, has the latest compatible macOS installed, and comes with a 12-month warranty and 30-day returns.
Refurbished vs new MacBook Air: what is the difference?
It is the same model with the same chip and specification. The differences are the price, the cosmetic condition, which the grade describes, and the warranty: ours is 12 months on every grade. See our grades explained.
Is 8GB RAM enough for a MacBook Air?
For web browsing, email, office documents, streaming and video calls, yes. Choose 16GB if you run several demanding apps at once, edit photos or video, or want more headroom.
Does it come with a charger?
Yes. Every MacBook Air comes with a compatible charger.
What battery health will it have?
Every MacBook Air we sell has a minimum 80% battery health.
Can I pay monthly or in instalments?
Yes. At checkout you can pay by card or spread the cost with Klarna, Clearpay or PayPal, subject to the provider’s approval. Each product page shows what the instalments would be for that price.
