Get $400 off the Apple MacBook on Amazon

Apple's MacBooks are beautifully crafted sleek laptops which offer excellent performance. Unfortunately, they come with a premium price tag putting them out of the reach of some consumers. While Apple rarely offers sales or discounts on their laptops, you can pick up an Apple MacBook from Amazon at $400 off its retail price.

The laptop on sale is a refurbished 12-inch MacBook, which usually retails for $1400 on Amazon. Thanks to this discount, you can pick the laptop for $1000. While you may be cautious about picking up a refurbished laptop, this laptop is guaranteed to be in like-new condition and comes with a one-year warranty.

The 12-inch MacBook is great for portability, weighing just over 2 pounds, which makes it 1 pound less than 13-inch MacBook Pro and 0.75 pounds lighter than the new MacBook Air. The MacBook has a high-resolution screen which is clear and vibrant and lets text look incredibly sharp. You have 512GB of storage, which can store all your movies and songs easily without running out of space. The laptop is powered by Intel's Core i5 processors and has 8GB of RAM, which should be ideal for multitasking and productivity.

Despite its small size, it is packed with features, and while it ideally meant for basic tasks like web browsing or streaming on Netflix, it makes a great laptop for students or frequent travelers. Its form factor and hardware isn't suited for more intense tasks like video editing, or gaming which would require a MacBook Pro.

It's important to point out that the MacBook comes with a USB-C port, which handles everything from charging your device to connecting accessories. Since it doesn't have a traditional USB port, you would have to purchase a separate adaptor for any older USB accessories you may have.

While it may not suite power users and gamers, the 12-inch MacBook is a great entry into the world of Apple. Its small size fits neatly into a student's or commuter's backpack, and its capable enough to get your day to day work done.
