14 DAY TRIAL // As usual, Softpedia is keen to report the latest offers from the Special Deals section of Apple’s online store, three of which are attractively set at under $1,000.
A new-generation refurbished MacBook Air 1.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo originally released in October 2010 is now purchasable for $849, which saves the customer some $150, according to Apple.
The system boasts an 11.6-inch LED-backlit glossy widescreen display, 2GB of standard memory, a 64GB solid-state drive, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, and built-in iSight Camera, to name some key aspects of this ultra-portable computer.
Up next, a late-2009 iMac equipped with a 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor is now on offer for $929 - a $270 discount compensating for the fact that it’s pre-owned and refurbished.
Originally released in 2009, this desktop Mac features a stunning 21.5-inch LED-backlit glossy widescreen display, 4GB memory, 500GB hard drive, 8x SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW), NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics with 256MB memory, and the built-in iSight camera.
Last, a MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo saving customers $200 is available for $999 - as little as the new-generation 11-inch MacBook Air costs.
If we’re not mistaking, this offer has been listed for well over two weeks now.
The notebook, originally released in April 2010, comes equipped with a 13.3-inch LED-backlit glossy widescreen display; 4GB (2 x 2GB) of 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM 250GB Serial ATA @ 5400 rpm; 8x double-layer SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW); NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory, and the ever-present iSight.
