The Refurbished Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo can hardly be called an old-model computer, given that it’s only been on the market for around half a year now. Still, Apple introduced a better looking, more powerful, and more power-efficient version of the computer earlier this week, making the older model sound obsolete. The Refurbished Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo is equipped with 4GB of memory, dual 500GB hard drives (for a total 1TB of storage capacity), NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with 256MB memory, and comes pre-installed with Mac OS X Server Snow Leopard. It costs $849 now from Apple’s Special Deals area.
The Refurbished MacBook Pro 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo features a 13.3-inch, LED-backlit, glossy widescreen display, 2GB of memory, a 160GB hard drive, the 8x SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW), an SD card slot, Apple’s old, built-in, seven-hour battery, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics, and an Illuminated keyboard. Being a pre-owned computer, it shaves $270 off the original price, going for just $929.
Finally, those looking for a full-fledged real desktop Mac can opt for the Refurbished iMac 21.5-inch 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, boasting a 21.5-inch, LED-backlit, glossy widescreen display, 4GB of memory, 500GB of storage, the 8x SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW), NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics with 256MB memory and a built-in iSight camera.
