MacMall is having an Apple Blowout Sale and I can’t believe the savings on new MacBooks, Mac Pro workstations and iMacs.

The biggest saving is on a Glossy 15.4″ MacBook Pro with 2.4GHz – Apple sells this laptop for $2,499. But you’ll save $850! Yep, you can get it for only $1,648. That’s a 34% savings – incredible. I’d bet these things are selling like crazy.

Second biggest discount in the Mac sale is on the Glossy 15.4″ MacBook Pro with 2.2GHz. Save 27% off the Apple Store price and steal this Mac for only $1,449. You’ll save $544!

And last but not least… an Apple 20″ iMac – Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz with 320GB hard drive. Normally this sells for $1,499, but the MacMall sale is giving you a 23% discount and selling for only $1,149. That’s a $349 savings Wow.

The 1.8 GHz MacBook Air is now on sale at the Apple Store for just $2,598 – That’s $500 off the original price.

Unfortunately the guts haven’t changed. Still 1.8GHz, 2GB of memory and a 64GB hard drive, Wi-Fi, free shipping, $62 / month – you’ve heard all this before.

If you’re looking to save money and get a kick butt laptop, this could be the time to grab a MacBook Air. But, I’d make sure to check out the AppleStore Clearance / Refurbished page first. Lots of cheap Macs on sale.

The Apple Store says: “If you’re a student, teacher, or staff member and you buy a Mac with your education discount before September 15, 2008, you can get a free iPod touch or iPod nano after rebate.*”

My guess is you’ll pick the iPod Touch because you’ll save more money, a whopping $299. (The Nano is only $199) Plus, the iPod Touch is “too cool for school” (pun intended) because it has all the features you need like internet, email, weather, and Notes… And a HUGE screen for your videos.

Buy a Mac for college and get a free iPod touch. Order online and get free shipping. Exp 9/15

The new MacBook Air has been added to the AppleStore Clearance / Refurbished page of the Apple website. Click the “Refurbished Mac” button and scroll down the page and you’ll see the beautiful 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo system with 80GB hard drive is on sale now for just $1,549. A savings of $250 off the retail price.

The iMac I use everyday was also refurbished (I saved about $250) and it’s been fantastic. Plus, every refurbished Mac comes with the standard Apple One-Year Limited Warranty – same as any new system.

The MacBook Air – and all of the other deals & discounts – will still be available after today. However, they may not be available every day. The sale items in the AppleStore inventory change daily and you’ll have to check out the page often to seen when your favorite Apple product goes on sale.

Apple Certified Refurbished Products FAQ

The free 60-day free trial is a great way to test-drive .Mac. If you decide to open a .Mac account or need to renew your existing account, you can save yourself $30 by going to an Apple store to make the purchase. A basic membership costs $99 online. In the stores it’s only $69.

A few years back, I purchased a .Mac account. And for the most part it’s been really slick. I can access files from any computer. I’ve created and published a family web site and a professional portfolio site all in a matter of hours.

However, it does have its problems.

A big feature my wife and I use is being able to sync bookmarks, contacts, keychains, notes, email, and iCal with multiple Macs. I have an iBook and a G4 at home and a G5 at work, all synced together. My wife used to have an iMac at work until her company made the unfortunate decision to move all the writers to PCs. Now she can no longer sync iCal from work. She can view it on our website, but can’t make any changes. They need to make it possible to update iCal online.

The only other problem I’ve encountered is that the computer freezes sometimes when I’m uploading a really large file to the iDisk. But as with everything Apple does, if you find something about your Apple experience that isn’t perfect, there’s probably an update coming to fix it soon.

Update: Unfortunately, the trial offer is no longer valid. It’s relaunching soon and will include ultra sexy new features. Check out why MobileMe will be my Information Zen Garden. Or get more information at the MobileMe page on the Apple.com website at: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/
