I
think this is a recent development (I've not noticed them before, and I check the refurb section 2-3 times a week, religiously).
Anyway, I see where current-generation MacBooks (aluminum, black and glass, with the nVidia graphics and DisplayPort) are now popping up in the refurb section of Apple's online store, going for $1,099 and $1,399 ($200 off the new prices of $1,299 and $1,599).

Seemed like the kind of thing many here might want to know, because those are really sweet machines (even without FireWire, which I'm pretty much over now
).
If anyone is still sitting on their $100 iPhone credit from last year (or got any sort of $100 Apple gift card for Christmas), that's a current-gen, sexy aluminum MacBook for $999! Pretty damn nice, if you ask me (I didn't expect to see these new aluminum MacBooks show up in the refurb section for another couple months, to be honest; they still seem so new and "just out").
Go grab 'em while they're hot!
