14 DAY TRIAL // Apple is flashing an attractive offer on a MacBook Air before our eyes over at the company’s Special Deals section, where the refurbished unit can be yours for just $899. Read on for the full specs.
While this computer is not the latest revision to the MacBook Air (i.e. doesn’t have Thunderbolt connectivity), it does come packed with quite a few technical particularities that make this deal a must-have.
This is the 13-inch version of the laptop (not the small 11-inch iteration), and it boasts 128MB of on-board storage - the maximum capacity for a MBA configuration that you could buy at the time.
It has a 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics and the built-in FaceTime camera. Sadly, this is not the model that comes with a backlit keyboard.
Finally, and probably most important, you get the killer design than only a MacBook Air has. Word on the web is that Apple will make the MacBook Pro line look the same.
The full system specs can be found below (per Apple’s data-sheet). Remember that these deals are only available in the United States. Also keep in mind that stock is limited for refurbished units, so if you want this thing, you better snag it while you can.
