Heavily discounted Macs available online, through Apple

Apple is featuring numerous attractive offers on refurbished Macs today, two of which can save their lucky buyers up to $250 on each purchase.

Among the numerous discounts listed by Apple on both the portable and desktop fronts, two stand out with $250 in savings.

Topping the list of refurbs today is a Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server originally released June 2010 and packing a 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB of memory, Dual 500GB Serial ATA hard disk drives (no optical unit), an HDMI port with support for up to 1920-by-1200 resolution, and NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics.

Customers can buy and install OS X Lion Server without a problem on the mini desktop computer. The OS adds $29.99 to the $749 you pay for the refurbished Mac mini.

The second Apple refurb that saves customers $250 is a MacBook Air with a 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, 2GB memory, 128GB flash storage, and the same graphics solution as the Mac mini described in the lines above.

This MacBook Air was originally released October 2010 and therefore lacks a Thunderbolt port and the Sandy Bridge CPU architecture. It’s the model with a 13.3-inch display. 
It’s priced at $949, which means it’s still $50 cheaper than a current-generation entry-level MacBook Air with half the storage, and less screen real-estate.

Visit Apple here to pick up on these two offers, and others like them (available exclusively to customers living in the United States).
