Best Mac prices: Nine for under $1,000
This time around we’ve got both new (not fresh) and refurbished Macs, nine different configurations in all, with each and every one tagged at less than $1,000. Of these, the $419 refurbished Mac mini is an easy pleaser, especially if a Boxee or Front Row powered media center Mac is in your future.
The most powerful unit available as this write up goes to press is the iMac 20-inch 2.66GHz, which also includes the respectable ATI 2600 PRO graphics for $999—plenty fast for most every FPS out there and all but the most demanding Photoshop tasks.
