Save a whopping $700 by picking up the 2010 Apple Macbook Air 13.3″ laptop
Posted on 23. Dec, 2011 by LaptopMan in Laptops, Laptops
Just like with automobiles consumers can save a ton on laptop computers by purchasing the model from the previous year. For Apple computers this is even more true, if you shop through the proper sources. Retailers like MacMall often offer nice discounts on Apple computers that are brand spanking new, but MacMall normally cuts down the price even deeper for models that are only one year older.
In the case of the 13.3″ Apple Macbook Air today you can save $700 off the 2010 model (MC905LL/A) that features a 2.13GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB of DDR3 RAM and a 256GB SSD (flash storage). MacMall is offering the brand new 13.3″ Macbook Air (MC905LL/A) for $1098.99 after a $50.00 mail-in-rebate, a major savings from the original $1,799 price tag the model carried at launch.
This particular price is for a limited time only (mail-in-rebate included) is going to disappear at 11:59pm PT on December 31st, 2011. –Macbook ships with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard but Mac OS X 10.7 Lion upgrades are free for new Mac buyers through Apple.–
When you by the 2010 Apple Macbook Air 13.3″ laptop you won’t get access to the latest Intel CPU and IGP that the Late 2011 13.3″ Air has or the new Thunderbolt I/O port either, but the current 13.3″ Air is also $1,599 (w/ 4GB RAM, 256GB SSD). If you can deal with a slightly slower computer then the offer from MacMall isn’t to shabby.
The Macbook Air offered features just about everything design wise that the current models do. The laptop comes with a unibody aluminum design, a 1440-by-900 resolution LED backlit display, a full-sized chiclet keyboard, a multi-touch trackpad, a built-in webcam, USB 2.0, mini-DisplayPort, an SD card slot, and up to 7 hours of battery life.
