The Apple refurbished store is a great way to buy as new Apple computers for 10% off. But sometimes it can be hard to get the computer you are after. My tip is to use ‘Changetower’ which monitors websites for changes and get it to email you an alert when your items appears.
Here’s a changetower alert letting me know when a 14 inch MacBook pro appears:
I just purchased a phone from this ebay seller and when it arrived it was as good as new!
It’s worth keeping an eye on these guys. The 2 specials below have sold out but they now have Apple watches for $189.
If you want to upgrade your SSD drive this week is a good time to do it. Ebay have a ‘20% off tech’ sale. You can find Crucial SSD drives in there that work great in any Mac that takes a normal 2.5″ SATA drive. That’s all iMacs, all Mac Minis and most (but not all) Macbooks.
Enter the code ‘powerup’ at the checkout to get 20% off before December 27.
Crucial 500GB $232 – 20% = $185
Crucial 250GB $139 – 20% = $111
These are a steal!
Over at Stack Social there’s a great deal running.
Stack Social have put together a bundle of 10 Mac apps from various developers, you choose the price you want to pay.
For me personally the only app in this bundle really worth paying for was WALTR. (It lets you put any movie easily onto your iPad. A few readers have suggested it in comments here. WALTR is usually $29). If nothing else it’s a cheap way to get WALTR.
There’s also Crossover which lets you use some (not all) Windows apps on your Mac. I tried using it with Windows Explorer to browse the web and it didn’t work! RapidWeaver might be useful (RRP $89) if you do website design.
Click on ‘Continue Reading’ for a full list of all the apps.
The Bose Bluetooth headset goes to Columbus Holt from the USA.
Congratulations! (You have 14 days to claim your prize – I’ve sent you an email.)!
This is an absolute bargain!
I just noticed that this promotional price for Dragon Dictate has dropped from $129 to $99. This is the best price I have seen anywhere for Dragon Dictate.
Please let me know via a comment if this still works (or if it stops working!)
