I was recently in the market for a new MacBook because my college laptop finally died on me. While I was thankful that it died after I graduated navigating the laptop market can be intimidating and spending a lot of money on a product that may not be of high quality can be quite discouraging. I am here to tell you about the great deal I got from Apple.
I love Apple products. I find them very user friendly and capable of quite a lot. Their OS is linux based and the Python programming language comes preinstalled on all laptops. In fact, my advanced programming professor in college swore by his MacBook for all his personal computing needs.
I was originally turned off by the price tag this time around, but a quick talk with a genius in one of their stores brought me right back. Since I graduated college I do not need to run larger engineering programs anymore so I opted for the smaller MacBook Air. It comes standard with 8 GB RAM which is all you should need for personal computing. For those of you who are wondering what that means you would probably know if you needed any more RAM for your computing needs.
DISCLAIMER: Everyone qualifies for the sale not just students.
Anyways, I got a brand new MacBook Air for $900 total which includes any upgrades and taxes, but the catch is that Apple is throwing in a free pair of Beats with every order. So I essentially got a $300 pair of headphones for free. If you’re willing to try your luck at the resale market this means you just scored a brand new Apple laptop for $600 which is inline with even the Microsoft Surface line of products.
In my personal opinion I think Apple makes a superior product. This presents a unique opportunity to buy a laptop for ~30% below market price in my case. Also, if you like high quality headphones you get a FREE pair of beats. If this sounds like something that interests you the sale is going on until 9/25 so act fast.
