This is the old news about refurbished Mac Mini, $499 for 1.83/1GB/80GB/Combodrive, or $679 for 2.0/1GB/120GB/Superdrive. Mac Mini $499 However, don't forget the $100 printer rebate. You can get the rebate even if you buy refurbished Macs. Rebate "Terms and Conditions
Purchase and take possession of an Apple Macintosh computer and a qualifying printer between July 22, 2008, and October 20, 2008, and receive up to $100 via rebate. Purchases must be made at the online Apple Store, an Apple retail store, or through Apple Telesales in the 50 United States or the District of Columbia. Qualifying orders from the online Apple Store or Apple Telesales that are placed during the promotion and ship after the offer ends are eligible.
PRODUCT ELIGIBILITY: All Apple computers shipping during the promotion dates qualify. For the purpose of this promotion, “Apple computers” exclude Apple TV, iPod, and iPhone." Two years ago, I got a refurbished Macbook Pro with a free printer with the same promotion, and got the rebate without any problems. Other refurbished Mac's qualify for this promotion too. However, the cheap Mac Mini makes the most sense since it doesn't qualify for the "free iPod Touch" promotion, and discount is very rare on other retailers. |
