University and college students have only a few weeks left before the next term begins. While many have sorted out books and stationery, finding a quality laptop can be more challenging. A deal on Wowcher offers a refurbished Apple MacBook for £199, down from £490—a saving of over £290. This provides access to a practical laptop that integrates with other Apple devices like iPhones and iPads.
Specs and Performance
The refurbished 12-inch Apple MacBook comes with a 7th Gen Intel Core i5 Processor, which, though slightly dated, handles demanding tasks and multitasking without significant lag. The Retina Display delivers sharp visuals and vibrant colours at 2304x1440 resolution. It also includes a 256GB solid-state drive for quick file access. Shoppers should note that the MacBook is refurbished and may show minor signs of wear and tear but should work as expected.
