What makes the MacBook Air 13-inch stand out?
- Apple Silicon chips (M1 and M2) — The MacBook Air moved to Apple Silicon with the M1 in 2020 and the M2 in 2022, giving big gains in speed and efficiency compared with older Intel models.

- Long battery life — Real-world battery life often reaches 12 hours or more for web and video on Apple Silicon models.

Which MacBook Air 13 is right for you?

Price range and how to compare listings
There are currently available pre-owned products priced between 175 and 1,698. When you compare listings, look at these factors:
- Processor and model year — M2 models are newer and usually cost more than M1 listings.
- RAM and storage — More RAM and larger SSDs increase value and future-proofing.
- Condition and seller details — Condition grading and seller warranty differ by site. Full specs, photos and warranty information are available on the seller’s site after you click through.
- Included accessories — Charger and original packaging can add value.
Buying guide and things to consider
- Decide what you use the laptop for: web, documents and streaming need less power than photo or video editing.
- Aim for at least 8 GB RAM for smooth multitasking. 16 GB is better if you keep many apps or browser tabs open.
- Choose SSD storage based on use: 256 GB for basic use, 512 GB+ for media and larger files.
- Check the processor generation: M2 > M1 > Intel for most buyers in terms of performance and battery life.
- Use filters such as price, condition, brand, RAM, storage and processor to narrow results while you explore second-hand options.
- Review seller warranty and return policy on the selling site for added confidence.
Quick checklist before you buy
- Confirm exact model and year listed on the product page.
- Compare RAM and SSD size against your needs.
- Note any included warranty or refurbishment guarantee.
- Compare prices across sites to understand the market value.
