The Apple Store discounts six factory-refurbished Apple Mac mini computer models. Although we saw a substantially larger selection last week, the available models remain well under the best total price we could find for a new unit. Each carries free shipping. Sales tax is added where applicable. A 1-year warranty applies, the same as new systems. Items are removed from Apple's web site once sold out. Notables, with free shipping:

• Apple Mac mini MC815LL/A Intel Core i5 Dual 2.3GHz Desktop for $519
• Apple Mac mini MC816LL/A Intel Core i5 Dual 2.5GHz Desktop for $699
• Apple Mac mini FC438LL/A Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66GHz Desktop for $749
