If you are desperate because you haven't found all the cheap presents you need for your loved ones, it looks like Apple is clearing the house off refurbished equipment: their Special Deals page is now crammed with stuff, from $159 30GB iPods to $1,399 MacBook Pros.

Good as new, they say. Cheap as old is all I care. Yes people, it's an Apple Refurbished Xmas, although for me it will always be a Patrick Swayze one.
