Apple Steals & Deals: Sunday, September 16, 2012

Looking for a fabulous deal on an Apple or related product? Well, so am I! Every Sunday, I scan the Apple refurbished store to see which Apple products are currently available, and which ones represent good bargains. I try to look only at current versions of Macs, but once in a while there will be a great deal on a last-generation product that may be too good to pass up.

The 2012 version of the 11.6-inch MacBook Air is starting to show up in the refurb store, along with 2012 versions of the 13.3-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro. These newer models are slightly more expensive than the 2011 models, which are still available, but they all offer improved graphics and slightly better performance.

There's also a Mac mini in the store, but unless you want to throw some cash at a very well-equipped model, you may find this Mac mini deal a bit too rich for a refurb model.

You'll also find both sizes of the iMac in stock, but you may want to hold off since they'll be getting an update sometime this fall.
