This is a fantastic deal. Well built machine that can do many tasks. Those open box should be in perfect condition.

Totally different fruits, my friend.
Windows vs MacOS. You have to choose between those two and you'd have your answer.

But still, this MacBook air is still a powerhouse even in 2024 and esp at this price.

Somebody made a YT video yesterday about whether or not the MB Air 13 is worth it in 2024.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4r5rsZp6Jo

8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, and 2 ports in a laptop for $750 is pretty ridiculous in 2024, but this is still a very capable, lightweight, and good machine if all you're doing is basic office work and media consumption.

Good deal... The price regularly fluctuates between 750 and 999. Looks like Amazon already matched at 750. Yesterday, it was at 899.

I snagged an open box... Hopefully I don't regret it. I figured I'd put the open box savings towards the cost of applecare. $899 out the door.

Best buy tech membership gives apple care on everything you get. It's often cheaper than applecare if you have 2 or more devices.

It's a good price but shame on Apple for only providing 8GB and very limited ports on these.

This is a great deal considering some premium chromebooks are around this price range.
