Get your Macs furbished…again!

RefurbishedYou know what word doesn’t get enough play? Furbish. Sure, its friend “refurbish” gets love all the time, but have you ever thought about furbish’s feelings. I mean: it sounds like a poor little fuzzy alien or something. No wonder nobody wants to use it. Despite the fact that it means pretty much the same thing as refurbish. Shame.

Why these linguistic perambulations? Well, it’s not as though I need a reason, but mainly it’s because there’s a whole truckload of furbished Macs now available at the Apple Store. If you don’t mind picking up previously loved computers, you can score quite a deal. 15” MacBook Pros are going for $300 off; a 17” model for $600 off; and the ever popular MacBooks can be had for up to $200 off. iMacs, Mac minis, Mac Pros, displays, and peripherals are available for similar discounts as well. As always, these deals come with the standard one year warranty and are available only for a limited time, so act fast if you’re looking to save some cash.

How about a $299 discontinued 4GB iPhone?

Also on the refurb page,

The Mac mini 1.66GHz Core Duo w/Superdrive is going for $649, while the 1.83 GHz Core Duo, same configuration is only $479. How often can you get a faster machine for less?
