Refurbished Macs — a great deal
A nice variety of refurbished Apple Mac Pros showed up in the Apple Store today, including a dual 2.93GHz for $4999, a dual 2.66GHz for $3999, the prior-model 3.2GHz eight-core for $3299, and several other configurations (single and dual core). See my review of the Mac Pro Nehalem.
For refurbished Macs, go here, then click on “Mac Pro” under the Shop Refurbished area at left. Not only that, there is free shipping. Read why a refurbished Mac is a good idea.
