The Apple Store takes up to $250 off a selection of factory-refurbished Apple Mac mini desktops and servers, with prices starting at $509. With free shipping, that's tied with our mention from last month as the best prices we've seen for these models with a 1-year Apple warranty. (Each model listed below is at least $41 under the lowest total price we could find for a new unit elsewhere.) A 1-year warranty applies to each, the same as new systems. Some best bets:
