Apple’s Certified Refurbished Store is selling the Mac mini with the M2 chip for just $439 CAD, down from its original $669, which is a savings of $230.
The compact desktop from January 2023 comes with an Apple Silicon M2 chip featuring an 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU, 8GB of unified memory, and a 256GB SSD. On the back you’ll find two Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, two USB-A ports, and a headphone jack.
This is a simple machine for basic computing and would be great for students and anyone needing a super capable machine. You just need to bring your own monitor, keyboard and mouse.
As with all Apple Certified Refurbished products, it includes a one-year Apple warranty, a 15-day return policy, and it’s eligible for AppleCare+. Free shipping is available, but stock tends to sell out quickly.
A new M4 Mac mini starts at $789 on Amazon.ca, so buying refurbished comes with a big discount.
Thanks Scott!

Trade-in value of the M2 Mini via an Apple Store is under $CDN180 for the base model, as advertised above.
Apple Tax is one thing on a new model, but on a refurbished model 2+ years old it's just plain chutzpah.
Check Apple, check Amazon, check Best Buy – watch for sales on current model (now one year old) and blow the additional bucks on a much more recent model.
