The MacBook Air 11-inch is still to this date the smallest intel based laptop Apple has released. It featured the same specifications as the 13-inch model in each year and was only discontinued when Apple launched the unsuccessful MacBook 12-inch range.
Providing the serial number allows for a smooth payout process when trading on your Mac. Here’s a simple guide on how to find your Mac’s serial number, which can be found under Basic System Information.
To quickly view basic information about your Mac, such as the macOS version, processor, memory, and serial number, follow these steps:
Apple’s M-series chips are faster, cooler, and more energy-efficient than Intel chips, giving longer battery life and better overall performance. If your applications don’t specifically require Intel, we recommend choosing an M-series Mac, provided it fits your budget.
Apple M-series chips use more cores because they combine powerful cores for intensive tasks with energy-saving cores for lighter work. This balanced design boosts performance, improves battery life, and ensures efficient operation.
M1, M2, M3, M4: Suitable for everyday tasks like web browsing, document editing, and media consumption.
M Pro: Enhanced graphics performance for creative professionals handling photo editing, graphic design, and moderate video editing.
M Max: High-end graphics capabilities designed for intensive tasks such as 3D rendering and complex video editing.
M Ultra: Top-tier graphics performance for the most demanding applications, including high-resolution video production, advanced 3D modelling, and large-scale data processing.
8GB: Suitable for basic tasks like web browsing, email, and document editing.
16GB: Ideal for multitasking, moderate photo editing, and casual gaming.
32GB: Recommended for professional video editing, 3D rendering, and intensive multitasking.
Apple M-series Macs use one pool of memory for both the processor and graphics. This setup is fast and efficient, but it also means video editing and other heavy tasks can quickly use up available memory. If you’re working with large video files or doing graphics-heavy work, choosing more RAM will help everything run smoother.
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.
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.
The myth that you’re better off waiting a while before updating your macOS is a thing of the past. Apple has dramatically improved their initial releases. However, the stigma has still stuck with some users. Unless you have a specific need for an older version, for example, if you’re running legacy software that is no longer updated, you may need to choose a previous version. As default, we install the latest supported version with all the newest features and security updates.

*Devices must be fully functional. **Small excess fee applicable; see full terms and conditions.
Our Warranty covers manufacturing defects and hardware failures. However, accidental damage, normal wear and tear, and third-party repairs are not included. For full details, please refer to our terms & conditions.
Refurbished items can vary in condition, but we’ve tried to make things simple at MacFinder. We split items into three categories.
New (Unsealed)
On newer models, it’s more likely we will have items that come in their original box like they’re new. Sometimes these items have been used for days before we get them, and on some occasions, they are fresh from distributors. We say unsealed because nothing goes without testing, and we must be able to change the configuration for you if required.
Standard Condition
The product is in good condition and expected for its model and year. It may have a few scratches, minor dents or marks that show expected wear and tear. Our technicians have guidelines during preparation that separate any devices we consider to have cosmetic imperfections.
Cosmetic Imperfections
If you’re budget conscious, an item with cosmetic imperfections can be the ideal solution. We cannot stress enough that the defects are only cosmetic, and the systems are completely functional without damage to the internal components. All fair condition system components are meticulously inspected and listed on our website with photos in a separate category.
Shop For Macs With Cosmetic Imperfections
Traditionally, devices came in Silver, but in 2016 Apple started offering Space Grey, Gold or Rose Gold. Newer models can come in up to 7 different colours.
To keep our prices as competitive as possible, we sell items at the standard 20% VAT rate or under the Margin Scheme. This makes no difference to consumers. If you’re a UK VAT-registered business, there is no VAT claimable on Margin Scheme purchases.
Our team are available from 9 am till 5 pm, Monday to Friday and 10 am till 4 pm on a Saturday to assist with any query you may have. Please get in touch and we will do our utmost to ensure we respond quickly and correctly.
