Product Description
The refurbished Apple MacBook Air M2 is the latest and greatest addition to Apple's lineup of laptops. The M2 chip boasts an 8-core CPU with 4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores, an 8-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine, providing fantastic performance that outperforms even the Mac Pro 2019 workstation in some tasks. With a liquid retina display measuring 13.6 inches diagonally and a native resolution of 2560-by-1664 at 224 pixels per inch with support for 1 billion colours, your visuals will be crisp and vibrant.
The M2 chip also means that the MacBook Air uses less power while still achieving an increased CPU performance of 18 percent over the M1 chip, thanks to various optimizations. The MacBook Air M2 is an all-rounder and perfect for most unless you require sustained long-term performance, in which case a MacBook Pro M1 or M2 would be a better choice.
This MacBook Air M2 starts from 8GB of unified memory, configurable up to 16GB or 24GB, and 256GB of SSD storage, configurable up to 512GB, 1TB, or 2TB. The backlit Magic Keyboard includes 12 full-height function keys (no Touch Bar). Additionally, there's Touch ID, an ambient light sensor, and a Force Touch trackpad for precise cursor control and pressure-sensing capabilities, which enables Force clicks, accelerators, pressure-sensitive drawing, and Multi-Touch gestures.
This MacBook Air M2 is equipped with two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports with support for charging, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt 3 (up to 40Gb/s), USB 4 (up to 40Gb/s), and USB 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10Gb/s). The laptop also features an advanced image signal processor with computational video, a 1080p FaceTime HD camera, a four-speaker sound system, and a three-mic array with directional beamforming.
The MacBook Air M2 comes in four finishes: silver, starlight, space grey, and midnight. The laptop weighs only 1.24 kg, and is only 1.13 cm thick, so it's lightweight design is perfect for those on the go.
So, is MacBook Air M1 or M2 better? In testing, the M2 has an 18 percent faster CPU than the M1, and the new chip doesn't just mean that the new Air can accomplish more, and use less power. It's also a fraction of the price compared to other devices with similar performance. Upgrade to the MacBook Air M2 today and experience the power of Apple's latest chip technology.

When New Price
At MacFinder, we sell various refurbished Apple products, including new and older models. To help our customers understand the value of these products, we display a "when new" price alongside some items. This is the price that the product was originally sold for when Apple first released it.
By showing the "when new" price, we aim to give our customers a clear idea of the savings, they can expect when purchasing a refurbished product. It also helps to provide context to the product's value, allowing customers to see how much they can save by choosing a refurbished model instead of buying new.
We take great pride in the quality of our refurbished products and believe that they offer a fantastic option for customers who want to save money without sacrificing quality or performance. By displaying the "when new" price alongside our products, we hope to make it easier for customers to make an informed decision about their purchase and feel confident that they are getting a great deal.
Product Condition
All systems provided are in 100% full working order and with our industry-leading warranty.We categorise our Macs into a standard grade which is what you would expect from a used Mac of it’s year and those with cosmetic imperfections. We never supply systems with technical faults unless clearly stated in the condition description. When pricing a system the condition grade is an attributing factor and you’ll see a reduction of price.
How Do We Grade Our Systems
All systems provided are in 100% full working order and with our industry-leading warranty. The conditions we describe below are only in relation to the cosmetic appearance of our machines. We never supply systems with technical faults unless clearly stated in the condition description. When pricing a system the condition grade is an attributing factor and a reduction of price will be seen on lower grades.
Standard Condition
The product is in good condition and is considered expected for its model and year. It may have a few scratches, minor dents or marks which are a sign of normal wear and tear. Our technicians have guidelines during preparation which separates any devices which we would consider to have cosmetic imperfections.
Cosmetic Imperfections
The product has a cosmetic defect. The defects may be limited to just one large dent or deep scratch alternatively it could consist of numerous minor scratches or marks. These cosmetic defects may include scratches, marks or dents either on the case or screen and because of this we individually photograph all fair condition systems.
If you’re budget conscious a fair condition system can be the ideal solution for those looking to save. We cannot stress enough that the defects are only cosmetic and the systems are completely functional with no damage to the internal components. All fair condition system components are meticulously inspected.
If you’re ever unhappy with a system you receive we offer a free 30 day return policy and we will happily exchange or refund your purchase.

Mac Lifespan Details
How long will my Mac receive macOS updates?
Most Macs get at least 7 years of major macOS updates after their release, with additional security updates continuing for a year or two after that.
What’s the longest-supported Mac to date?
Some models have received support for up to 11 years, like the Mac Pro (2013) and Mac Mini (2014). We expect 8–10 years of usable life from most models.
What happens when updates stop?
Your Mac will still work. You can browse the web, stream, email, and use apps like Microsoft Office well beyond official support. But if you handle sensitive data, we recommend upgrading for complete security.
Will newer Macs last longer?
Yes. Apple Silicon Macs (from 2020 onward) are expected to have even longer support, thanks to Apple’s full control over hardware and software.
How do I make my Mac last even longer?
With good care, like keeping it clean, avoiding damage, and maintaining the battery, your Mac can easily outlive its update cycle and stay useful for many years.
How Much Storage Do I Need?
256GB: Enough for most users thanks to cloud storage.
512GB: Better if you need offline access or work with larger files.
1TB+: Ideal for professionals handling high-resolution media or large projects.
256GB is enough for most day-to-day tasks, especially with cloud storage, keeping your files safe and accessible. Apple’s on-device storage is costly, so it’s best to choose based on what you need, not just want.
Who could I use for cloud storage?
Apple iCloud Drive: Best for Mac users. Built into macOS, it offers seamless file syncing across all Apple devices.
Google Drive: Great if you use Gmail or Google Docs.
Dropbox: A reliable, user-friendly choice for both personal and business use. Easy sharing and solid performance across all platforms.

How do instalment offers with PayPal Credit work?
With selected merchants, when you check out with PayPal Credit, you'll be shown a selection of instalment offers which enable you to spread the cost of your purchase across a number of repayments. These instalment offers allow you to choose a set monthly repayment over a fixed period to help spread the cost of larger purchases in a more manageable way.
Instalment offers will always have an interest rate lower than the standard variable rate. If you already have PayPal Credit, you can take advantage of these offers without having to reapply as long as you have enough available credit limit.
It is important that you think about whether you can afford the monthly repayment agreed for any instalment offer. This will be added to your monthly minimum repayment amount and will need to be paid each month.
If you fail to make repayments or in certain other circumstances, PayPal may remove your offer and any outstanding amount will be charged at 23.9% p.a. (variable). Please see the Credit Agreement for more details.
What Is PayPal Credit?
PayPal Credit is like a credit card, without the plastic. It's a credit limit that's attached to your PayPal account which you can use for your online purchases. If you have PayPal Credit it will be available as a funding source within your PayPal wallet and can be used for purchases in most places where PayPal is accepted. You can make purchases in the same way as you would with a normal credit card, by choosing PayPal Credit as your funding source at checkout.
For purchases less than £99.00, interest is charged at our standard rate of 23.9% p.a. (variable) if the full amount is not paid off by the date shown on your statement. In addition, PayPal Credit lets you access two types of promotional offers: 0% for 4 months on all purchases of £99.00 and over; and instalment offers with selected merchants.
Is PayPal Credit Available To Everyone?
No, PayPal Credit is only available to customers over 18 living in the United Kingdom (excluding Channel Islands and the Isle of Man). PayPal also have to assess a customer's creditworthiness, so you should have a good credit history to apply.
How Can I Apply For PayPal Credit?
Customers may be offered the opportunity to apply for credit on a website, if purchasing an eligible product and choosing to apply for an instalment offer using PayPal Credit. Otherwise customers can apply directly via PayPal's website.
