Not a good deal unless it drops $200 more. M5 gives you a 512 SSD that is 3-4 times faster which is important for swap especially with the base 16 RAM. Other additions such as WiFi 7 and AI acceleration might be important to those who keep their Mac's for 4+ years.

Those who don't need this urgently, and Apple refurbished is OK, Apple sold a similar model for $849.
It is currently out of stock but will be back in stock from time to time.

Community Reviews

This MacBook Air deal stands out for the 13 inch M4 with 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage, and the display and speakers are praised as excellent. Apple refurbished and open box alternatives come up repeatedly as cheaper ways to get the same class of machine, with Apple refurb described as arriving like new and carrying standard warranty coverage. The main knock is price, since similar or newer M5 configurations are only about $50 to $100 more, and prior refurb, Costco, and holiday prices were lower. It looks strongest if you want this exact spec now rather than waiting for a better discount.

  • Buyers who can wait for a refurb or sale, because similar M4 pricing has appeared lower and the current price may be less compelling.

  • People who want a like-new refurbished MacBook with warranty coverage, because Apple refurb units can arrive sealed, look new, and include Apple standard warranty with AppleCare support.

  • Students and office workers who want a bright laptop with strong speakers, because the screen and speakers are great.

Just glanced, but looks like it's $989 for same machine, once you change it to the 512 GB. Even if I'm overlooking something, not everyone has a Microcenter near them.

Gotcha. Thanks for that. I just read the title that said Apple MacBook Air 13" MDHC4LL/A (Early 2024) so assumed it was M4. That's strange there is the discrepancy with the year but with the 2026 chip. Thanks again.

Yes, I saw it display as 2024 too, which would have made it an M3 (because the M4 came out in 2025) then definitely not a better deal….not sure why there was a glitch, but after clicking through different configuration options for storage and RAM, it reset I guess

Like others stated, not a great deal. If you don't need something now, wait for a better refurb, or better yet wait for a sale on M5 air.

The 16GB RAM version was $850 from Costco a month ago but with a 256GB SSD instead of a 512GB. $950 isn't really a great deal, I'm with everyone else on this.
