It’s Monday! Time for some handpicked gadget deals.
Apple 11.6-inch MacBook Air: $979 (MacMall)
If you’ve been drooling over the recently-released 11.6-inch MacBook Air but insist on waiting for its $999 price to drop, it already has. Not a whole lot, but $20 is $20, and it features free shipping and no tax, which could actually be a pretty good deal depending where you live.
Asus 8.9-inch T91 touchscreen netbook: $279.99 (Amazon.com)
This thing came out at around $500, if memory serves. It’s got netbook guts and a swivel-around touchscreen good for tablet-specific endeavors.
The whole shebang weighs in at just a smidge over two pounds and measures an inch thick, too.
Refurbished Apple TV with hard drive: $99.99, today only (Cowboom)
Like the $99 price tag of that new Apple TV but prefer to actually store the content you buy on a hard drive?
Cowboom has a one-day deal on the previous model Apple TV at just $99. The unit is refurbished, but a warranty can be added starting at $9.
JVC Blu-ray player: $69.99, while supplies last (hhgregg)
If you’ve been cursing the high price of Blu-ray players, your fists bruised from pounding them on your desk day after day, this JVC costs $70. That’s for a new (non-refurbished) model, too. Save your fist pounding for when you find out that it’s not one of those Blu-ray players that can connect to the internet.
Buy two, get one free video games: Prices vary (Best Buy)
These free game deals usually offer some pretty old/bad titles as the selections, but this Best Buy deal actually features "new and recent release games."
Not crap, in other words. Not crap yet, at the very least.
7-inch Android Tablet: $99.99 (Focalprice.com)
Can’t decide between an MID, a tablet, a pad, or a netbook? Don’t! This no-name Android whatsit costs just under $100 and is described as a 7-inch "MID Tablet Pad Netbook."
Use coupon code CE013B6OFF to get the $99.99 price and please don’t yell at me if/when this Android 1.7 jobber doesn’t live up to your expectations.
Xbox Live Gold 12-month subscription: $43.99 (Amazon.com)
The Xbox Live price hikes go into effect November 1st here in the US. A 12-month membership will soon set you back $60, making this Amazon deal look pretty good.
See this post for more info on the price changes.
Refurbished 40-inch Sony Bravia: $499.99 (Sonystyle.com)
Priced new at around $600, the refurbished 40-inch Sony Bravia TV will ring up at $500 when you add it to your cart. The TV features 1080p resolution and an ambient light sensor that changes the brightness of the picture based on the darkness of the room.
Logitech cordless desktop bundle: $49.99 (CompUSA)
The choice of many a pro blogger (myself included) this Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse set can be found for upwards of $130 in some places. CompUSA is selling it for just $50 with coupon code DYD8983. That puts it in "very good deal" territory.
Compaq 19-inch monitor: $89.99 (OfficeMax)
OfficeMax knocks $40 off the price of this 18.5-inch LCD monitor. Finding a monitor for under $100 is pretty good, but not impossible. Finding one for $90 is even better. Might make a good second screen for the office or rumpus room.
