It’s October 1st, and many of us might be thinking that it means winter is almost here, but I encourage you to think about all of the exciting things October has to offer — apple picking, fresh cider donuts, pumpkins around every corner and of course, iPhone 5s, new iPods and iOS 6!

One of my favorite features about iOS 6 is the set of Mail improvements; I love that I can now have VIPs and flagged mail with a dedicated inbox, making it so much easier to keep up with important contacts and emails while away from the office.

The iPhone 5s are landing at Small Dog, and many of us (including myself) couldn’t wait to get our hands on it. I was not an early iPhone adopter, but I was all over the last two versions! iPods received some changes and improvements as well this past month, and over the next few weeks, we’ll see the new models come in.

While you wait for your favorite Apple device to get here, stop by your local VT apple orchard, since there are still plenty of wooden apples to find in the 6th annual Apples to iPods event (you could win some great prizes!). This is run through the VT Department of Tourism and Marketing, so you’ll want to make sure you “**visit their website**”:http://www.applestoipods.com for all of the rules and details.

I hope everyone enjoys this month’s edition of Best in Showroom. I know it may seem like a long time away, but don’t forget to check out our website on October 31st because we take Halloween “**VERY seriously**”:http://blog.smalldog.com/article/2011-halloween-costume-contest/ around here.

Apple has an amazing refurbishing process — when a product has that Apple Refurbished sticker on it, you can be assured that what you’re getting is as good as new. My 13-in MacBook was refurbished and it is still kicking today — nearly six years later. So be assured that even though these machines are refurbished, you will still get years out of them.

So what are you really getting by purchasing a refurbished machine? The 17-inch MacBook Pros we have in stock include a quad-core Intel i5 or i7 processor, 4GB of memory, a 500GB hard drive for storage, an NVIDIA GeForce GT330M with 512MB of video memory, and (here is the kicker) they are eligible for AppleCare. That’s right, unlike a used computer, Apple Refurbs are eligible to have AppleCare applied to them.

As if that’s not enough, here is the final nail in the coffin (you know, in a good way). Buying a refurbished machine can save you over $1,000. These are Macs that when purchased new at the time of release, ran a machine over $2,500! Our 17-inch MBPs now start at $1,350 (in limited quantity). If you add AppleCare to it, you are sitting pretty at $1,660 and that is still $140 cheaper than a new 15-inch MacBook Pro without AppleCare. If that isn’t the deal of the year, I don’t know what is!

There’s too much to put here, but be sure to check out our blog, Barkings! for full coverage of last month’s new product releases and the latest Apple news. Specifically, iPhone 5 and iPod releases, iOS 6 and the Maps flap, and more.
