These $199 Intel-based MacBooks are almost gone

If your main Mac is running Apple silicon, congrats — but you might know her limitations when it comes to running older apps or dual-booting Windows OS. That’s where having an Intel-based MacBook might come in handy, and this one is under $200 with free shipping (originally $999).

This model runs on an Intel Core i5 processor, which means it can do something no M-series Mac can: run older macOS apps and even Windows software using Boot Camp or virtualization tools like Parallels. That opens up a world of compatibility for power users who rely on legacy programs, niche utilities, or Windows-only workflows. Want to run old-school games or test cross-platform apps? This MacBook can handle it.

Or, maybe you’re just looking for a laptop you can comfortably take on vacations or hand over to your kids, instead of your M4 MacBook. This one still gets the job done with 1.8GHz processing speed, 128GB of storage space, and up to 12 hours of battery life.

As for its refurbished status, just check out the recent 5-star reviews. Many speak about minor cosmetic imperfections, but excellent internal performance.

Don’t miss out on this refurbished MacBook Air deal: $199.97 with free shipping while supplies last (reg. $999).
