14 DAY TRIAL // Apple’s Special Deals section is featuring numerous discounted Macs starting with a $759 13-inch MacBook (2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo), and ending with a $999 MacBook Pro that has been clinging to the Mac makers online store for almost a week now.
Cupertino apparently has plenty of pre-owned systems in stock, and it sells them all amid rumors of a MacBook Pro refresh consisting of Sandy Bridge CPU upgrades, and likely a new hardware design.
Whether or not Apple is launching brand-new systems any time soon, it can’t hurt to have a look at the attractive offers posted by the company on the section dedicated to refurbished products.
Those looking to save a buck yet also roll with a top-notch Mac should skim through the offerings and make their pick while these deals last.
Of particular interest to the customer are the $759 polycarbonate unibody White MacBook, the $200-cheaper MacBook Pro, and the two MacBook Airs retailing for just $849.
