Well, how much are you looking to spend? You didn’t really give people budget so we have no idea what to really recommend you.

Apple channeling has pretty good refurbished deals. Otherwise you kind of made their biggest back to school sale last month. Are you waiting for Black Friday shopping? You might be able to find the other good as 10 to 20% off from retailers or resellers.

I was honestly thinking of waiting til Black Friday and then doing my student deal on top of whatever discounts but I do need a laptop before my courses start back up so I’m kind of in a scramble.

Most school libraries have loaner laptops you can borrow to ride you over.

And if you’re already tens of thousands in student debt, might be worth considering just pulling a extra couple a hundred bucks and buy a newer one that will last you the duration of school rather than buying one cheaper one that won’t make it.

That's how much Macs cost new - Apple makes sure prices are high.

Occasionally they'll have three year old ones for less.

There used to be this reseller place in brighton but I’m not sure if they are still around I forgot the name.

I’m aware of how much they cost🫶🏾. People resell for cheap prices.

Anyone know where I can buy a MacBook Air less than retail price? (either used or not).
