Refurb G5 Quads return
Refurbished G5 Quad Power Macs have returned to the Apple Store online in the U.S. after a short disappearance. Just one refurbished model is currently available, boasting two dual-core 2.5GHz PowerPC G5 64-bit processors and two 1.25GHz front-side buses (one per processor) with 1MB of level-2 cache per core. The Power Mac listed also includes 512MB of DDR2 memory, a 250GB SATA hard drive, a 16X double-layer SuperDrive, and an NVIDIA GeForce 6600 graphics card with 256MB of video memory. Apple is asking $2,699 for the entire package, and as always includes free shipping with a one-year Apple warranty -- which is extendable for $249 to three years. The Cupertino-based company is still selling its aging G4-based iBook laptops, despite the debut of its newer and faster MacBooks. The two models currently available include the 12-inch 1.33GHz iBook with 512MB of memory and a 40GB hard drive for $799, as well as its 14-inch 1.42GHz iBook with 512MB of memory and a 60GB hard drive for $999.
