Love it or hate it? Apple Store has the refurbished MacBook Air for $999 with free shipping. A savings of $800 compared to new.

      It's recycled air. (Ok, who's been eating beans?)

      I still find it beautiful but would never own a mac. Just a PC person.

      Macs are cool, but not this one.

      How's the first gen different from the following generations?

      Also, anyone of any experience with Mac's refurbished items?

      This is a pretty good deal considering when this was new it was close to $3k... if you haven't actually seen one of these in person you should seriously goto your local apple store and check them out... ridiculous!

      Not sure about the gen diff but my refurb 30gb iPod and airport express are still kicking. They came with the full warranty too.

      Apple refurbs are top notch... I've bought several things from them over the last few years and I've had zero issues... A macbook... A mac mini... A couple ipods... No problems at all...

      BTW... The 1st gen to 2nd gen Macbook Air has a big bump in the video area... You can google some reviews that discuss the differences pretty easily...

      Thanks for all the help on the refurb quality! I'm definitely going to look into getting more refurb items from Apple now...

      Mac's are the worst products out there. I had an air for a couple of months and refused to use it.

      I'd buy apple products if I didn't have this insatiable desire to ram three rolls of quarters up Steve Jobs' ass. He's a complete ****.

      Scroll down some and you'll find $400 pc laptops, brand new ones, with better specs than this refurb.
