It’s possible to get a MacBook for less than $350 thanks to Walmart

A shiny new MacBook is great and all, but if you’re looking to buy a great gift for your kid, you might not want to drop thousands of dollars on something they could very easily break.

Dear reader: Have you thought about buying refurbished?

Walmart has a deal right now on the MacBook air that is worthy of your attention. A certified refurbished 11.6-inch MacBook Air is just $319.65, meaning you could get a MacBook for your kid (or hell, even for yourself) for less than $350.

Don’t let the certified refurbished tag turn you off to this deal.

Products are inspected, cleaned, tested, and repaired to work as well as a new product and qualify as a Grade-A device before going back out on sale. Read more…
