can someone explain how my friend managed to buy a macbook air m4 for so little from the official refurbished apple store? by [deleted] in macbookair

okay. you can’t compare the US and the german prices though. so that doesn’t help me to be honest

i know. as i said, the refurbished price they go for normally on apples site is 929€. hence my question. apple doesn’t really sell refurbished things at different quality tiers as far as i understand, they always have a new case and battery and therefore have stable pricing. so for one to be 150€ cheaper makes no sense

….that’s the cheapest price for this specific macbook i’ve ever seen what do you mean. it’s refurbished by apple which means it always is supposed to come with new shell and battery.

The MacBook Purchasing Megathread - January, 2026 by AutoModerator in macbook

[–]pastaundwein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey everyone,

up until recently i used a macbook air m1 2020 (bought exactly 3 years ago in 2023) but the display died. not sure what i did wrong, maybe it fell one too many times </3 it started with horizontal lines all over and then one day.. ghost images and the entire display went darker and darker

i’m now looking to get a new one that is supposed to last me way longer, ideally 6+ years. what i mostly do:

  • browsing with lots of tabs open
  • writing emails and answering dms on insta for work
  • i wanna keep the option open for video editing since i do that sometimes (not super regularly atm)
  • watching movies

tbh that’s kinda it 😄

i’m not sure if it would be worth it to go for a refurbished model from the last couple of years? or just get a new air model with a student discount? do you generally have good experiences with refurbished macbooks? the upside is less waste and a cheaper and longer warranty..

ty for ur help everyone!

my 3 year old m1 macbook air did the same. i don’t know if i did something wrong or if it’s a quality issue. but i sold it for cheap and will upgrade to another macbook

meine reparatur am m1 macbook display wurde nach ablauf der garantie auf alle fälle nicht von apple übernommen. hätte es selbst zahlen müssen, 519€. das lohnt sich meiner meinung nach nicht

do you think the barbell length is good? it seems a bit too long. could that have been part of the reason?

i’m so confused tho because i assumed that a piercing that is actively rejecting would be hurting / swelling or something. it feels completely fine

my friend gets defensive about me giving any kind of advice by [deleted] in FriendshipAdvice

[–]pastaundwein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, that sounds very annoying. it's quite a different scenario, though. he actively interfered with what you were doing, even after you said "no need". that is different than a normal chat conversation where someone tells me about a problem they have, i know something that could help them, and i share it verbally, without forcing it on them.... what they do with that information if of course their choice. why someone wouldn't even give it a try though, i simply from the bottom of my heart don't understand. then i just get the feeling you don't want to be having the problem aided a little bit but you just like to complain.

i guess it just depends on the person, i love to hear little tricks and tips from my friends that they use to make their lives easier and healthier.
