While this model was back in stock at the beginning of the year for $469, it appears to have increased in price by $30.

Lots of people use Mac minis as powerful home theatre personal computers (HTPCs), as the ability to run OS X and Windows means you can throw anything at this slim computer, which supports a wireless mouse and keyboard. Unfortunately, RAM is soldered to the logic board on this machine, as discovered by iFixit.

Refurbished Macs from Apple are limited in supply and come with a 1-year warranty.

PS – Also in stock this morning is the 64GB iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi for $559.
