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.

This week, I found a slightly reduced price on a 27-inch iMac. This specific model is usually listed in the refurb store at $1,419, but it's showing up today at $1,359. There are also additional Mac minis in the store, but they're all configured with Lion Server OS. On the plus side, they're eligible for a free upgrade to Mountain Lion Server; on the down side, the price is high vs. the current generation of the Mac mini in standard non-server configuration. So, unless you need the server version specifically, I'd look at the new Mac minis instead.
Quantities are limited, so if any of these tickle your fancy, be fast on the trigger to make a purchase.
