Dear Friends,

Today’s commute was interesting. First off, I thought I was done scraping ice off my window but there I was scraping while Jezebel was sitting in the car barking at me. Luckily, the seat heater in my Chevy Volt doesn’t eat up too much juice so I still have plenty. So, I am driving along the Common Road here in Waitsfield and aside from the normal wildlife (Canada geese, turkeys, and deer) I drove around a corner and there was a Subaru stopped on the side of the road and a guy without a shirt on was doing tight-rope practicing on his tightrope rig in the 30 degree temps. His girlfriend was sitting across the road wrapped in a blanket watching.

We are making great progress in evaluating all the gear that we got in the liquidation bid that we won. Some are just brand new Macs and iPads with packaging that is dented or dirty, others have been used and we are running the complete suite of Apple diagnostics on those before they hit our price list. All in all, there are some great bargains here; if you are looking for a MacBook Pro, iMac or even a Mac Pro we have some killer deals. There are also a number of iPads, ranging from iPad minis all the way to some iPad Pros! We have a number of brand new Apple Watch bands, too!

We have finally received our initial shipments of the new Apple TV. We think these may be in short supply through the holidays so we have stocked up. If you are interested in one of these new Apple TVs you might want to consider ordering now. I am getting one for my house in Key West (and I think I have convinced Grace that I will need a 4K HDR TV to go along with my 4k Apple TV.)

This week’s Kibbles & Bytes Exclusive features the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. This unit has a powerful 2.8GHz i7 processor 16GB of ram, 256GB SSD drive and 2GB of video ram. I am bundling it with AppleCare+ and to make it a great home office set-up I am also bundling it with a BenQ PD2710QC 27 QHD Designer Monitor USB-C 2560 × 1440 – Black that includes a USB-C hub with ethernet, an Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Magic Mouse 2. This set-up would normally cost you $3509.95 if purchased separately. Kibbles & Bytes readers can get this awesome home office bundle for over $500 off at $2999.99!
