Apple has added a veritable slew of refurbished Macs, as well as "new and unopened" discontinued models at the Apple Store. The company has also updated the Hot Deals page for ClubMac and O’Reilly at the Macintosh Product Guide. The Mac Product Guide is a list of Mac compatible hardware and software products on the market. The Hot Deals section of the Product Guide features several Mac retailers and special offers that one can only get, at least in theory, at the Hot Deals page.
First, let’s look at Apple’s new offers. The company has added a ton of new and refurbished Macs and peripherals through the "Special Deals" link at the Apple Store’s Hot Deals page. The company has refurbed Power Mac G5s, iBooks, PowerBooks, iMacs, eMacs, iPods, and AirPort products. Apple also has "new and unopened" iBooks, PowerBook, and iPod accessories. These units are usually dealer returns, and both the new items and the refurb items tend to go fast once they are announced. You can find the offers through the "Special Deals" link at the Apple Store Hot Deals page at Apple’s Web site.
The new ClubMac Hot Deals page has offers on the Griffin SightLight, a pen scanner, an analog-DV converter, some Mac games, a notebook stand, external storage, iPod accessories, a printer, a video card, a rackmount tape drive, and an LCD display. You can find the ClubMac Hot Deals page at Apple’s Web site.
The new O’Reilly Hot Deals page has offers on a .Mac book, The Best of The Joy of Tech, a Cocoa book, a book on digital photography, a Panther-Unix book, and a title from the Missing Manual series. You can find the O’Reilly Hot Deals page at Apple’s Web site.
