Apple.com is currently offering the refurbished 13.3-inch, 1.8GHz MacBook Air (model no. MB450LL/A) for only $1,199.00, making it $350 less than its regular price of $1,549.99, and turning it into the lowest cost we managed to find for this laptop anywhere else. FREE shipping is included and sales tax applies for residents of most states.

An equally popular but more powerful MacBook Air is also on sale today at Amazon.com, offering a 2.13GHz processor as well as a 2GB processor and 128GB of RAM. The upgraded MacBook Air is currently on sale for only $1,707.27 and has included FREE shipping. While the MacBook Air is ideal for users seeking a compact, portable machine, it lacks the capabilities found in a fully-featured MacBook Pro. If you desire something that packs a little more punch than the MacBook Air we recommended upgrading to the refurbished 15.4-inch, 2.8GHz MacBook Pro which is on sale today at Apple.com and priced at $1,949.00. If you enjoy editing and creating images we also suggest picking up the Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac, it’s available this week for the lowered cost of $69.99 and has shipping rates starting at $3.99.

The MacBook Air features a 1.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2GB of memory and a 64GB Solid State drive. The 13.3 inch widescreen display with 1280 x 800 resolution and Intel GMA X3100 graphics processor provide a clean picture while built-in features such as iSight webcam, wireless and Bluetooth as well as ultra portable (height 0.16-0.76-in. x width 12.8-in. x depth 8.94-in.) lightweight (3lbs.) design allow for it to be taken anywhere. It is backed by Apples standard one year warranty on parts and labor.
