Need an affordable computer to run basic software? Consider this refurbished MacBook Air.
TL;DR: As of August 24, you can get a Refurbished MacBook Air for just $290.99 instead of $1,399 — that’s a 79% discount.
The newest, flashiest computers have some great bells and whistles, but you probably don’t need the latest hardware if you’re just checking emails or running Google Docs. And while 5TB of hard drive space could be great, you could get more with good cloud storage without worrying about losing everything to a wayward cup of coffee.
It may make more sense to consider a beater computer that can run your basic, everyday programs than an expensive computer that usually runs essential software. This refurbished MacBook Air is on sale for just $290.99, and it could be an excellent machine for simple computing that has to get done daily.
An affordable alternative to a brand-new computer
If you spend a lot of your computer time in Google Suite, Microsoft Office, or other lightweight productivity programs, then you may not need a high-cost, top-spec machine. This refurbished MacBook has an Intel Core i5 processor, a 256GB SSD, and 4GB of RAM. It isn’t the most powerful computer, but it could be an affordable workhorse if your typical workflow doesn’t involve demanding apps like 4K video editing, 3D modeling, or testing games. This one even comes with a wireless mouse.
You could also use this little computer as an excellent streaming machine. Want to enjoy a documentary on a wider screen than your phone’s while still being able to move around the house? Throw it onto your MacBook Air. You could even connect a wireless speaker or headphones via Bluetooth for more immersive sound.
Though this is a refurbished computer, it has a “B” rating, meaning it may only have some light scuffing, dings, or dents on the body of the computer. Of course, those could also be covered up by the snap-on black case that’s included with this bundle.
Delegate some of your computing to an affordable laptop
You may not need a brand new computer for the work you’re doing. Instead, get this refurbished MacBook Air for $290.99 (Reg. $1,399).

Scientists may have found an affordable way to destroy forever chemicals
A team of scientists may have found a safe and affordable way to destroy “forever chemicals.” PFAS, or perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are found in many household items, including non-stick Teflon pans and dental floss. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, at least 12,000 such substances exist today. They all share one common feature between them: a carbon-fluorine backbone that is one of the strongest known bonds in organic chemistry. It’s what gives PFAS-treated cookware its non-stick quality. However, that same characteristic can make those substances harmful to humans.
Since they’re so durable from a molecular perspective, PFAS can stay in soil and water for generations. Scientists have shown that prolonged exposure to them can lead to an increased risk of some cancers, reduced immunity and developmental effects on children. Researchers have spent years trying to find a way to destroy the carbon-fluorine bond that makes PFAS so stubborn, but a breakthrough could be in sight.
In a study published Thursday in the journal Science, a group of chemists from UCLA, Northwestern University and China found that a mixture of sodium hydroxide, a chemical used in lye, and an organic solvent called dimethyl sulfoxide was effective at breaking down a large subgroup of PFAS known as perfluoro carboxylic acids or PFCAs. When lead author Brittany Trang heated the mixture between 175 and 250 degrees Fahrenheit (about 79 to 121 degrees Celsius), it began breaking down the bonds between the PFAS molecules. After a few days, the mixture can even reduce any fluorine byproducts into harmless molecules. The sodium hydroxide is part of what makes the mixture so potent. It bonds with PFAS molecules after the dimethyl sulfoxide softens them and hastens their breakdown.
Professor William Dichtel, one of the study’s co-authors, told The New York Times there’s a lot of work to be done before the solution works outside the lab. There’s also the enormity of the problem. In February, scientists estimated that humans are putting approximately 50,000 tons of PFAS chemicals into the atmosphere every year. Another recent study found that rainwater everywhere on Earth is unsafe to drink due to the ubiquity of those substances. However, scientists are understandably excited about Trang’s discovery since it may help researchers find other novel ways to destroy PFAS.

Some Rivian customers aren’t happy the company canceled its most affordable electric truck
Rivian canceled the entry-level version of the R1T, effectively raising the price of its base model electric truck by over $6,000, according to an online forum for customers and later confirmed by the company.
The company said in an email to customers that it was canceling the base “Explore” model, which started at $67,500, in favor of the $73,000 “Adventure” trim. Customers can either upgrade to the more expensive trim level or cancel their orders, the company advised. Rivian has also “discontinued” the less expensive trim for its R1S electric SUV, which is expected to start shipping to customers later this year.
In an email to preorder holders, a copy of which was shared with The Verge by Rivian spokesperson Tanya Miller, the company…
