The classic Air, the affordable door to macOS
The 2017 Air is the final chapter of the original wedge, the design that defined thin-and-light for a decade: legendary all-day battery life, the durable aluminium unibody, the beloved backlit keyboard of the classic era, and macOS with its iPhone-friendly ecosystem. In Core i5 or i7 both with 8GB and a 256GB SSD, it is the cheapest MacBook on our wall.
Umoja Marketplace Africa supplies verified refurbished stock with after-sales support and delivery across Kenya. Buyers should note its age honestly: this generation has reached the end of new macOS version support, current apps largely run, but it is a classic purchase, not a future-proof one; our team advises on software expectations.
