The Apple Store offers its factory-refurbished Apple Mac mini Intel Core i5 2.3GHz Desktop (pictured, no monitor), model no. MC815LL/A, for $469 with free shipping. That's tied with our mention of a refurb from three weeks ago as the best price we've seen and $291 under the lowest total price we could find for new one now. It features an Intel Core i5 2.3GHz dual-core processor, 2GB RAM, 500GB hard drive, 802.11n wireless, Gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth 4.0, SDXC card slot, HDMI, Thunderbolt, and Mac OS X.

Also available is the factory-refurbished Apple Mac mini Intel Core i7 2.3GHz Desktop (no monitor), MD388LL/A, for $679 with free shipping. That's $45 under last month's mention of a new one and the lowest total price we've seen. (It's also $93 under the lowest total price we could find for a new one now.) It features an Intel Core i7 2.3GHz quad-core processor, 4GB RAM, 1TB hard drive, 802.11n wireless, Gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth 4.0, SDXC card slot, USB 3.0, HDMI, Thunderbolt, and Mac OS X.

Both systems come with 1-year Apple warranties, the same as new units.
