The Apple Store offers a selection of its factory-refurbished iPad mini WiFi and WiFi + 4G models, with prices starting at $219. That beats last week's mention for each model by at least $30, and is the best price we've seen for each with an Apple warranty. (Each carries a 1-year Apple warranty, the same as new units.) Some notables:

• Refurbished Apple iPad mini 16GB WiFi in Black for $219 + pickup ($30 drop)
• refurbished Apple iPad mini 32GB WiFi in Black or White for $299 + pickup ($40 drop)
• refurbished Apple iPad mini 64GB WiFi in White or Black for $379 + $0 s&h ($40 drop)
• refurbished Apple iPad mini 32GB WiFi + 4G for AT&T in White or Black for $399 + $0 s&h ($50 drop)
