Apple MacBook Air 13.6" M3 Silver 2024

★★★★★ 4.6 (5)

The M3 chip with up to a 10-core GPU drives a 1.23kg chassis that lasts up to 18 hours on a charge, making it a portable workhorse. The 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display covers one billion colors at 500 nits, and this Geek Squad Certified Refurbished unit lowers the cost while including a 90-day warranty. It’s best for students and business travelers who need silent, fanless operation and all-day battery life over graphics-intensive gaming.
