While it’s certainly not controversial to say that Apple makes some of the best laptops available right now, they do have one big problem. They’re expensive. Sure, you can wait for the right MacBook deal to come along, and that will definitely help. But another option is to go the used route. And with Apple’s M-series MacBooks lasting longer than ever thanks to their impressive performance and long-lasting batteries, why pay more by buying new? Back Market is offering a huge range of used Apple laptops with prices starting at under $300.
There are models ranging from the OG M1 MacBook Air all the way to much newer laptops, so there should be an option for everyone and every budget here. Keep in mind that there are also different ratings of laptops on offer, with some in better condition than others. A laptop in good condition will be cheaper than one that’s in excellent condition, for example. Keep that in mind if you want to spend a little less or ensure you get the best-looking model available.
The cheapest model on offer at the time of writing is the M113-inch MacBook Air, yours in «fair» condition for just $356. That model comes with 128GB of storage and 8GB of RAM. Alternatively, you can upgrade to the same laptop in premium condition for $559, with various ratings and prices in between.
There are plenty of portable Macs at the opposite end of the scale, too, including a number of 16-inch MacBook Pros powered by the M3 Pro chip. One such laptop has 18GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD and is in premium condition with a price of $1,628. If you don’t mind moving down the quality ladder, the same laptop in fair condition is just $1,420.
Remember that there is no guarantee how long any of these laptops will remain available, especially at these prices. Stocks of used laptops are always volatile, and that means the prices inevitably are, too.

Why this deal matters
Like many people, we’re big fans of Apple’s laptops. But we’re less impressed with the prices Apple charges for its wares. Thankfully, MacBooks last longer than most laptops, and with the ever-impressive M-series chips, buying older models used is always a good way to save money.
