Common Questions
Why buy a refurbished M5 Air instead of new?
It's the 2026 MacBook Air — the same M5 chip, display and macOS as one bought new — fully tested and graded honestly, with a 12-month warranty and free next-day delivery. The only differences are cosmetic and the price.
M5 vs M4 — what am I actually gaining?
Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 from Apple's N1 wireless chip, 512GB of storage as standard (double the M4's starting point), 28% more memory bandwidth, and a Neural Accelerator in every GPU core for on-device AI. The screen, 12MP Centre Stage camera, two-display support and body are essentially unchanged — if those upgrades don't matter to you, an M4 Air does nearly everything here too. See the full Air range.
Should I choose 16GB, 24GB or 32GB?
16GB (the M5 standard) is genuinely enough for almost everyone, including Docker and smaller local AI models. 24GB or 32GB is for keeping heavy workloads open at once — photographers with huge catalogues, developers running several VMs, bigger local models. Memory can't be upgraded later, so size it for the years ahead.
Can it drive external monitors?
Yes — the M5 Air drives two external displays at up to 6K and 60Hz each with the lid open, or a single display up to 8K. Ideal for docked desk and trading setups.
What's the difference between Fair, Good and Excellent?
Purely cosmetic — every Mac is fully tested and works perfectly regardless of grade. Fair has noticeable scratches or light dents (our best value), Good shows light signs of use, and Excellent looks like new. See our grading guide with photos.
What's included, and what about warranty and delivery?
Every Mac comes with a fully compatible charger, a 12-month RTB hardware warranty, 14-day returns, an 85%+ battery-health guarantee (under 400 charge cycles; listings marked Strong have 90%+ health, and those marked 100% have a new or as-new original battery under 50 cycles) and free insured next-day UK delivery on weekdays.
Discounted Air One-Offs
Single units in mixed cosmetic grades — fully tested, 14-day returns + 30-day RTB warranty, priced to clear.
