These Macs are pre-owned systems that have undergone Apple’s refurbishment process.
Apple’s Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server starts at $999, but Apple has one for you at just $849. Granted, it’s used, but you’re saving some $150, so, if the offer sounds good to you, here’s what you’re getting.
- 4GB memory; - Dual 500GB hard drives (for a total of 1TB of storage capacity); - NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with 256MB memory; - Mac OS X Server Snow Leopard.
The system lacks an optical unit, in favor of the additional 500GB hard drive. Those interested in buying this Mac should go here.
A refurbished MacBook 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo is listed at Apple’s web store as well.
