the base 2011 is on sale for 469 apple refurb if you link to the apple store from discover card you get 5% back. this is a nice price for the 2011.


they also have the mid model with the 6630 discrete gpu for 549 also a nice price

I would argue that these are better then the 2012's unless usb3 is very important to you.

Yeah, I almost pulled the trigger on the 6630 Mac Mini, but really I don't need one right now and I would just be buying for the sake of buying!

Alternative deal

And if you prefer the 2012 model, you can get one new for only $18 more and it comes with Parallels 8 free. No sales tax either, so you might actually save money over an Apple store refurb.

Also they will bundle Applecare with it for only $50 more.
