2014 Mac Minis starting at $349 at Best Buy with student discount

Which is a good deal. Rather than buy a new Mac Mini, I bought a 2011 Mac Mini used and added 16gb RAM and 256gb SSD and it is blazingly fast. The entire setup including the Mac Mini cost me $300 and does exactly what I want it to do.

I know, I can't believe I finally got a Mac for such a good deal after waiting for so long!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the 2011 Mac Mini the last model to include a dGPU and the one with the highest performance improvement compared to its predecessor? If so, then I can see why you got one and maxed it out!

You need to sign-up for Best Buy's college student deals. If you have a .edu email, you can get the coupons within 10 minutes of signing-up.

Damn...I don't have an .edu email...oh well.

Gee, one can have both iTunes working and something like Plex or XBMC/Kodi. Definitely a reasonable price for a dedicated HTPC.

Yes, definitely was a very reasonable price, especially compared to what $349 gets you with other computers.
