Thousands of shoppers have been rushing to buy a reduced Apple MacBook Air in an exclusive Wowcher Christmas deal. The refurbished MacBook Air 11-Inch Laptop has been cut to £129, while the 13-inch version is available for £149.
Specifications and performance
The laptop runs on a Dual-core 1.8GHz Intel Core i5 processor, which is said to deliver smooth performance for multitasking, web browsing, and productivity. It features a glossy widescreen with 'crisp visuals' and offers up to seven hours of battery life.
The lightweight build makes it suitable for students, and it includes two USB 3 ports, a Thunderbolt port, and a MagSafe 2 power port for 'flexible connections'. The device has been refurbished to a 'good' level, which Wowcher describes as showing 'a few signs of wear-and-tear' while remaining 'aesthetically sound'.
Key features and considerations
Key specifications include an Intel Core i5 1.8GHz dual-core processor, 4GB DDR3L RAM, 128GB flash storage, a 13-inch LED-backlit glossy widescreen display, and Intel HD Graphics 4000. The laptop also offers a slim and lightweight design, SSD storage for fast everyday performance, and a battery that lasts up to seven hours for all-day use.
However, there are some drawbacks to consider. Because the laptop uses a fanless, passive cooling design, playing long videos or demanding games may cause the processor to overheat.
Delivery and other laptop deals
According to Wowcher's FAQ, the laptop is a refurbished product in good condition, delivery takes up to five days after redemption, and the model includes two USB 3 ports, a Thunderbolt port, and a MagSafe 2 power port.
Other deals spotted include an HP Laptop 14" with an Intel Core 3 processor, reduced from £599 to £399 on the HP website, described as a 'straightforward' laptop for 'study' and 'downtime'. On the Argos website, a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15in R5 8GB 256GB Laptop has been cut from £429 to £379, available in Arctic Grey with a lightweight and thin profile.
The Wowcher deal is available from £129.
