Best Buy offers the Geek Squad Certified Refurbished Apple AirPort Extreme 802.11ac Wireless Base Station for $99.99 shipped. For comparison, it has a list price of $199 in new condition and typically sells for $129 direct from Apple as a refurb (currently out of stock). This is a match for the best offer that we’ve seen on this model.

Apple’s AirPort Extreme pushes out 802.11ac speeds that are up to three times faster than the previous generation model. It has support for dual-band connectivity plus beam-forming technology. On the back side, you’ll find three gigabit ethernet ports and a USB port for file or printer sharing. Geek Squad Refurbished products go through “a rigorous multipoint inspection” that returns products to original factory specifications. More info can be found here. A 90-day parts and labor warranty is included with purchase.

With your savings, outfit your network setup with a new cable modem. We recommend Motorola Arris products for the best experience. The SB6141 is an Amazon best seller, receives great ratings and sells for $70.

If you’re a MacBook user, chances are you’ve hit a point during your ownership where a little extra storage was needed. With MacBook Air and Pro (for the time being) starting at 128GB of internal storage, it’s no surprise that your hard drive can fill up fast. Adding a USB flash drive to the mix is not only helpful for storing files on-the-go but it also can help alleviate this problem.

While there are plenty of options on the market today, not all of them are up to the task of matching Apple’s design cues. We’ve rounded up the best metal USB 3.0 flash drives that are guaranteed to look right at home with your MacBook.
