Apple’s Special Deals area is featuring a number of sub-$1,000 computers, one of which is the Late 2010 MacBook Air selling for just $849 as a refurbished system.

Originally released in October 2010, this version of the MacBook Air boasts an 11.6-inch LED-backlit glossy widescreen display, comes standard with 2GB of memory, a 64GB solid-state drive, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, and built-in iSight, all (and more) for $849.

The system normally retails for $999, therefore the lucky buyer saves $150 on this purchase.

Up next, a 13-inch refurbished MacBook Pro clocked at 2.26GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo) goes for $929, and is packed with 2GB memory, 160GB hard drive, Apple’s SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) optical unit, an SD card slot, built-in 7-hour battery, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics, illuminated keyboard, and the ever-present iSight cam.

Those looking to buy a desktop Mac are also in luck.

Apple has set a $929 price tag for a refurbished 21.5-inch iMac (still a new-generation model) equipped with a powerful 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, 4GB memory, 500GB hard drive, SuperDrive, 9400M graphics with 256MB memory, and iSight.

Finally, a system that’s been clinging to the Apple Special Deals area for quite some time now, the 13-inch MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo sells for $999 - precisely $200 shaved off the original retail price.
