Buying this 2017 Apple MacBook Air new would have costed you $999. But by deciding that “basically new” is good enough, you’ll manage to get it for nearly a quarter of the price. StackSocial has the Grade A refurbished MacBook Air for 74% off, bringing the price down to just $250.

There's no doubt about it — buying a new MacBook Pro in full every two years can get expensive. But with this subscription service, it's easy to get the latest technology (and enjoy the peace of mind of having AppleCare included) for a low monthly fee.

The latest MacBook Pros get an upgrade to the Apple M4 family of processors. Unless you are a real power user, though, using raw performance as a reason to upgrade may be faulty if you already own a Mac with an Apple M-series processor. They were introduced in 2020.

Apple says the mini-LED display inside the M4 MacBook Pro can ramp up to 1,000 nits of brightness when you're viewing SDR content outside. That’s much brighter than the 600 nits the M3 model was capable of in these conditions, and it should help make on-screen content much more visible when the sun is shining.

This detailed comparison covers the M4 MacBook Pro vs M3 Air when it comes to performance, features, specs, and more.
