Deal Details
For those with a local Microcenter, this is the cheapest I've seen for new Mac-Mini. Previous deals at Costco and Amazon were $570.

For those wondering, you can typically buy a refurb or used one on Ebay for about $500, so IMO, spend the extra $50 to get a new one.

Extra year of warranty shouldn't make any difference for a computer like this. If you're going to have a problem with a desktop, it typically appears in the first year. Agreed, however, if you have a 5% cash back Costco/Amazon credit card, those deals are slightly better. [edit - Costco and Amazon deals are expired…this is the best available deal]

I wish I had gotten 16gb ram.

I just shop, social media, and a little bit of finance software. I'm routinely inside the yellow memory pressure at 8 gigabytes.

I was about to say "for those lucky enough to have a costco around", but to be fair, there's probably far more costcos then there are microcenters.

The Costco and Amazon deals are dead. They were actually dead when XZS0007 made their post.

For those looking to make this deal slicker (though it was previously FP at this price), you can apply for the Microcenter CC and get another 5% off. In other words, this actually beats the Costco and Amazon deals.

Thanks OP. Just reserved one and picking up tomorrow. FYI i did ask Best Buy if they'd price match and they mentioned that they can refund the difference after the sale is completed…not before. I'd rather take a trip to MC.
