You don't have to wait until Black Friday to save on your next MacBook or iPad upgrade. Today only, Woot has a bunch of MacBook and iPad devices on sale in open-box condition (opens in new tab) with prices starting as low as $289.99. Though open-box models aren't sealed, they're oftentimes just as unused as any brand new product out there.
Apart from paying full price, the main thing you miss out on by choosing an open-box model is the full Apple warranty. That being said, all of the devices in this sale have between 60 and 120 days of warranty attached, often from Apple itself. We've seen these sales sell out quickly in the past, and some models are already gone, so if you're interested you'll want to pick one up sooner than later.
