The Apple Store offers a selection of factory-refurbished MacBook Air laptops, as listed below. Plus, each qualifies for free shipping. That's a lower starting price than our mention from three weeks ago and the lowest total price we could find for these systems with a 1-year Apple warranty (the same as new units). Items are removed from The Apple Store when sold out. Notables:
