Is the new Mac Mini still made in China? I got mine shipped from US

My refurb iMac shipped from there

Maybe they recondition macs there before they are sold as refurbished?

Not all of them. My 2008 Mac Pro dual quad 2.8 was manufactured in Rancho Cordova, California, a suburb of Sacramento.

My 2.26GHz base model Mini arrived this morning (Monday) from China. I ordered it on the Apple Store site last Wednesday. And also ordered a Hitachi 7200RPM 320GB drive and 4GB of RAM from Other World Computing. The FedEx driver brought both packages at the same time... what timing!

I fired it up, all worked as it should, so next I prepped the OR for surgery, laid out my instruments, opened her up, dropped in 4GB of RAM and a 7200RPM 320GB Hitachi drive, sewed her back up again and she's hummin' along better than ever! Great computer! Better than the top of the line Mini for about $876!

$749 2.26GHz base model
$67 Hitachi 7K320 HDD from OtherWorldComputing
$60 4GB RAM from OtherWorldComputing

and now I have a brand new Fujitsu 120GB drive to sell... or to set up as a mobile StartUp Drive.

Surgery went very smoothly and easily. Just followed instructions and it was a piece of cake!

Rancho Cordova? Are you sure its not Elk Grove, CA?(where the Apple facility is)

Elk Grove and Rancho Cordova are basically one in the same. Elk Grove is also a suburb of southern Sacramento. The reason I mentioned Rancho Cordova for the MP was that was the point of origin for the shipping, not Elk Grove.

I placed my order this evening, Mac mini CTO + Time Capsule, and quickly rang up Apple and asked for shipping them together. The guy on the phone said the Mac mini is shipped from overseas, so both items will ship separately.
