Apple MacBook Air 11.6" REF-MJVM2LL/A 2015, Core i5, 4GB, 128GB SSD, Silver
Its 1.08kg weight and compact 11.6-inch design make it exceptionally portable for basic tasks, though the 5th-gen Intel Core i5 and 4GB RAM limit it to light workloads. The all-flash 128GB storage and durable aluminum unibody construction provide a responsive and premium feel uncommon at its refurbished price point. This machine is best for students or travelers who need a lightweight, secondary Mac for writing, browsing, and streaming on the go.
