Dear Friends,

It is below 0° F in Vermont and the Super Bowl is this Sunday, but Apple heated up the place with some historic financial results including the greatest quarterly profit posted EVER by a publicly-traded company! That is pretty astounding and I’ll go into some detail on the numbers below. Apple also announced that they had sold their 1 billionth (!) iOS device, an iPad that they sold to themselves to have at headquarters. That is simply astounding. iOS devices are only 8 years old and were a category of devices that Apple invented. To have sold 1 billion of anything is amazing, but 1 billion devices that cost hundreds of dollars each… WOW!

This week’s Kibbles & Bytes exclusive features an Apple Certified Refurbished 13-inch MacBook Air. This is the Mac that I use at home, on the road, or at the office with a large display and keyboard. This model features a 1.3 GHz Intel i5 processor, 4 GB of RAM and 256 GB of SSD storage. I am, once again, bundling this with AppleCare so you receive 3 years of protection for the hardware instead of one year and 3 years of free tech support from Apple instead of 90 days. Especially with these MacBook Airs, just about anything that breaks out of warranty will cost you more to fix than the cost of AppleCare, so it is important peace-of-mind investment to protect your Mac! I really want you to be fully protected, so there are two more parts of this bundle. We will include a 1 TB Seagate Backup Plus Slim USB 3.0 drive, so you will have a nice portable drive to go along with your nice portable Mac, and of course, a Hammerhead neoprene case for the MacBook Air. Let’s review this bundle, you get:

• Apple Certified Refurbished MacBook Air 13-inch 1.3GHz i5 4GB/256GB
• AppleCare Protection Plan
• Seagate 1TB Back-up Plus Slim USB 3.0 Drive
• Hammerhead Neoprene Case for MacBook Air

New, this would normally sell for $1,319, however, exclusively for Kibbles & Bytes readers, you can save $100 with the bundle price of $1,219! Check it out here!
