We begin with several refurbished MacBook Air laptops, starting at $849 for a 1.86GHz Core 2 Duo 13.3-inch model. Also on tap is a two-year iPad warranty from SqaureTrade. The warranty covers drops and spills. The spotlight is also on a new batch of free App Store titles for the iPhone and iPod touch, including “Finger Traffic Navigator”, a line drawing puzzle.
Along the way, we’ll also check out storage options, ways to keep your iPhone 4 in power, as well as software for your Mac. As always, details on these and many other bargains can be found at CoM’s “Daily Deals” page right after the jump.

The Apple Store offers the factory-refurbished Apple MacBook Air Intel Core 2 Duo 1.86GHz 13.3″ Notebook, model no. MC233LL/A, for $849 with free shipping. That’s tied with our mention from two weeks ago as $126 below the lowest total price we could find for a new, factory-sealed unit. Sales tax is added where applicable. Features include an Intel Core 2 Duo SL9400 1.86GHz dual-core processor, 13.3″ 1280×800 LED-backlit widescreen glossy LCD, 2GB RAM, 120GB 5400 rpm Serial ATA hard drive, 802.11n wireless, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, multi-touch trackpad, iSight webcam, and Mac OS X 10.6.4. Also available is the factory-refurbished Apple MacBook Air Intel Core 2 Duo 2.13GHz 13.3″ Notebook, model no. MC234LL/A, for $1,099 with free shipping. That’s also tied with our mention from two weeks ago as $190 below the lowest total price we could find for a new unit. Instead of the 120GB SATA hard drive, it features a 128GB solid state drive (SSD). Both models carry a 1-year Apple warranty, the same as new units.
Ending today, SquareTrade offers its SquareTrade iPad 2-Year Warranty for $95.99. Coupon code “ORANGE” cuts it to $89.99. At $30 off, that’s tied with our mention from a week ago as one of the best deals we’ve seen for this service. Unlike AppleCare, SquareTrade’s extended warranty also includes drop and spill protection. Have other items that need extended warranties? SquareTrade.com also takes 30% off warranties sitewide via the above coupon. (A maximum discount of $30 applies and it doesn’t stack with existing instant markdowns.) That’s among the best offers we’ve seen from SquareTrade, although we saw a 35% off two weeks ago, since expired.
