Black Friday and Cyber Monday have come and gone. Holiday sales are dying down. And it would take a whole lot of waiting until the next Great Sale season arrives.

That is unless you know where to look.

If you were disappointed that there was no shiny MacBook waiting for you under the tree or by the menorah this holiday, we’re featuring deals in the Mashable Shop on new and refurbished (see also: good as new) MacBooks at slashed prices.

Check out what’s in store:
