TL;DR: PCWorld readers can get a MacBook Air on sale for $229.97 through March 30.
Diehard PC lovers, there may be a reason to finally try a MacBook: the price. Instead of paying $999 for a MacBook Air, now you can get one with 8GB RAM and a 128GB SSD on sale for $229.97. Take a look.
This MacBook still has an Intel processor, which is actually a good thing for Windows users. The M1 chips can’t run Boot Camp, so it’s a lot harder to run Windows apps.
While the 128GB local storage isn’t the largest, it still gives you you have enough space to store essential files without dragging around an external drive or paying for cloud storage.
And with 8GB of RAM, you can switch between apps without frustrating slowdowns. One thing Mac excels at is battery life, and this one doesn’t disappoint. You can get up to 12 hours out of a full charge.
So why the low price? This is technically a refurbished device, but you wouldn’t know it from looking at it. The grade “A” rating means it’s in near-mint condition.
You have until March 30 at 11:59 p.m. PT to get a MacBook Air on sale for $229.97.
