Please note that these MacBook Airs are only available through the Apple Refurbished Store online and no through physical Apple retail stores. However, a major design change is these Macs no longer have MagSafe chargers, but instead have USB-C ports for charging. The Touch ID sensor will also allow for users to unlock their MacBook Air this way. These Macs do have the capabilities to use features like Apple Pay right through the Touch ID sensor, which will enable it to verify who you are and complete your transaction. One of the differences between these MacBook Airs and the previous generation of MacBook Air are the new design, updated keyboard, Retina Display and Touch ID. At this time, all three colors of the MacBook Air, Space Gray, silver and gold, are all available in Apple’s Refurbished Store. Apple MacBook Air (M1, 2020) Apple has a wide selection of recent models available, including this base model with the Apple M1 chipset, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Now the day has come for consumers of all kinds to get refurbished M1 MacBook Airs for the starting price of just $849. Yet, the M1 Air still boasts over 2x the. Initial M1 Max Geekbench scores put the processors performance at roughly 1.5x that of the M1. The MBP config I really wanted (14' M1 Max/1TB) was sitting at roughly 1500 more.


The M1 processor is one that was designed and made by Apple as its way of no longer being reliant on Intel for processors. But when I speced out new a bottom end 14' MBP 16GB/1TB, it was 500 more than an M1 MacBook Air M1 16GB/1TB out the door. We are now months past the release date, giving time for consumers to try out these new M1 Macs. Late last year, Apple released its new M1 MacBook Air with a starting price of $999.
