The Apple Store discounts a selection of its factory-refurbished MacBook Air Laptops, with prices starting at $769. Plus, all orders qualify for free shipping. Each system carries a 1-year Apple warranty (the same as new units). Some best bets, compared to the best prices we could find for new units elsewhere:
