MacBook Air (Refurb) Falls to $999

Apple appears to be having trouble selling older MacBook Air units. These are the refurbished stock with a PATA hard drive and the sluggish Intel GMA X3100.

Our sister site, CheapenGadget.com noticed that Apple has slashed the price on these units to $999. That’s almost 45% off the price of a current-generation MacBook Air. That’s the best percentage-off discount that Apple has ever offered on a notebook. And yes, we ordered one. We weren’t fans of the first-gen MacBook Air because of its aforementioned shortcomings, but at $999 the price more than overcompensates for it. (P.S. We love the second gen MacBook Air around the office, it fixed every single one of our list-of-complaints).
