Todays Open Box find! Be sure to check around your local Best Buy stores. Traded in my M2 8GB for $500 and only paid $350 — how big of a steal was this? :)
Hey everyone, I’m getting a MacBook Air for university (CS + Econ major), and I’m torn between these two: 1. 💼 MacBook Air M3 (24GB RAM / 512GB SSD) — Open Box (Excellent) from Best Buy 2. 🆕 MacBook Air M4 (16GB RAM / 512GB SSD) — Brand new from Apple
I’ll mostly be using it for coding, multitasking, and general schoolwork — maybe some light editing too. The M3 open box is cheaper and has more RAM, but the M4 is newer with better efficiency and slightly longer support.
If you’ve used an open box from Best Buy or have any thoughts on long-term performance/value, I’d love your input.
Which one makes more sense for a college student in 2025?
