Macs From $849, iPhones from $49 (AT&T) - Apple Deals

Apple’s online store has been updated with “new” refurbs, including factory-refurbished Aluminum iMac desktop computers, and a flurry of MacBook models waiting to be grabbed by those into portable computing. Refurbished models of the Apple iPhone 3G (priced from $49 with free shipping via two-day delivery) can be obtained from AT&T.

iMac 24-inch 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Apple lists multiple deals, but the Refurbished iMac 24-inch 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo is the most attractive, as far as desktop systems go. For $1,599.00 (free shipping), the slim, all-in-one iMac boasts a 24-inch glossy widescreen display, 2GB of memory, a 500GB hard drive, an 8x SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW), NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS graphics with 512MB memory and a built-in iSight Camera (these being the system’s key offerings, of course). If you order now, the computer ships to your doorsteps within 24 hours.

MacBook 2.13GHz Intel Core 2 Duo – White
A refurbished MacBook 2.13GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (White) with a 13.3-inch glossy widescreen display, 2GB of memory, a 160GB hard drive, 9400M graphics and built-in iSight can be acquired for just $849.00. The aluminum 13-inch MacBook comes at $50 more ($899.00). Although it packs a slower processor (2.0GHz), nothing on the market can beat its unibody aluminum design.

Refurbished iPhone 3G 8GB/16GB (Black, White)
With activation of new voice and data plans, AT&T Wireless is selling refurbished iPhone 3G units starting at $49 with free shipping via two-day delivery. A $36 activation fee still applies. Fans can visit the carrier’s site and opt for an iPhone 3G 8GB (Black) for $49, iPhone 3G 16GB (Black) for $99, or an iPhone 3G 16GB (White) for $99.
