Students who are preparing to go back to school might be looking at laptop deals, and for families who are fans of Apple products, that includes MacBook deals. Some of these offers may still be beyond your budget though, so you might want to consider refurbished laptop deals. There are even some refurbished MacBook deals that would be great for students, such as Back Market’s offer for a refurbished 2015 MacBook Air for just $219, for savings of $780 from the computer’s original price of $899.

With storage in the form of a 128GB SSD, there’s more than enough space for the software that students use and the files that they will accumulate over the year.

As it’s a refurbished product, you may be concerned about the quality of the 2015 MacBook Air. However, there’s no need to worry as all of the computer’s components are tested before they are put up for sale, including its battery, screen, and connections.

With the weekend almost over, Best Buy's 3-day sale is wrapping up with great laptop deals. With some great budget options like the HP Chromebook, or the higher-end MacBook Pro, there's something for everybody, so let's dive right in.
HP 14-inch Chromebook -- $149, was $299

If you're looking for a budget device for the basics, a Chromebook is an excellent option, and the HP Chromebook 14 is well-built and should work well for most. While the Intel Celeron N4120 and 4GB of RAM aren't that powerful, it's enough to get ChromeOS to run relatively well compared to Windows 11. That means you can get most, if not all, of your productivity, done, and the 14-inch HD screen is good enough for watching films and shows on your off time. In terms of storage, it's on the smaller end at 64GB, which is understandable given that Chromebooks are mostly made for streaming all your content. Overall, it's one of the best Chromebook deals this weekend.

They pair up perfectly with all your Apple equipment with it simple to share audio between two sets of AirPods on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV. In conjunction with the Lightning charging case, you get more than 24 hours of total listening time with about five hours via one charge.

Apple just released the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 Pro chip last month, but the powerful laptop is already on sale from B&H with a $200 discount that brings its price down to $1,799 from its original price of $1,999. It's still not cheap, but it's very rare for a new model to appear in MacBook deals. It's highly recommended that you take advantage of this chance while it's still online, as there's not much time left before it gets taken down.

Why you should buy the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M2 Pro chip
Apple's MacBook Pro M2 Pro is slightly less powerful than the MacBook Pro M2 Max, but for most users in creative fields such as photography, filmmaking, graphic arts, and music development, it's got what it takes to meet the high requirements of the job. Compared with the MacBook Pro M1 Pro, the latest model of the laptop features the same flat-edged design, mini-LED display, and port arrangement, but the performance boost from the updated chip makes the MacBook Pro M2 Pro an even better mobile workstation for professionals.
