A Refurbished MacBook 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo can now be acquired from Apple’s Special deals section for $759, the company has confirmed via an update of its online store. The computer boasts a precision unibody design, a 13.3-inch LED-backlit glossy widescreen display, 2GB of standard memory, a 250GB hard drive, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics, built-in iSight, and Apple’s rather old built-in 7-hour battery. At just $759, this laptop is more than a bargain (at least coming from Apple).
For $869, customers can now purchase a Refurbished MacBook 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo - Aluminum. It sports a 13.3-inch 1280-by-800 pixel LED-backlit display, 2GB of memory, 160GB of storage capacity, an 8x SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW), Built-in iSight camera and a standard keyboard, these being the computer’s strong points.
For a Refurbished MacBook Pro 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, visitors of Apple’s online store need to fork $929. Priced just a tad higher, this laptop also ships with a built-in SD card slot, and an illuminated keyboard, in addition to the typical features found on Apple’s MacBook computers. The battery is also not the newest Apple has developed for its Mac laptops, so it only provides seven hours of wireless productivity (compared with the ten hours of battery life Apple’s newest MacBook Pros can offer).
A Refurbished MacBook 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo - Aluminum is also priced under $1,000, but only by a dollar. Still, customers get an expanded 250GB hard drive, and the illuminated keyboard, among other key benefits, such as the higher clocked CPU. Customers can pay the same price should they require a desktop Mac instead. The Refurbished iMac 21.5-inch 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, available for $999, features a 21.5-inch LED-backlit glossy widescreen display, 4GB of standard memory, a spacey 500GB hard drive, the 8x SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW), NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics with 256MB memory, and built-in iSight.
