Deal Details
This is a deal only because the Mac Mini it out of stock everywhere, with a month backorder.

The Apple refurbished store has been slowly adding stock of Mac Mini's to their online store. Check the website frequently. The stock seems to update the most in the evening 5pm to midnight and early mornings Pacific time.



Models and prices range from $750 - $2,200+ depending on the specs, with the 256gb SSD version being the lowest. I've also seen a few Studio's available this week.



All of the models are refurbished but in "Like New" condition and come with Applecare subscription options.

A M4 512gb/16gb version is $764 with veterans discount.
The base model Studio M4 Max 512gb/32gb is $1906 with discount.

You're right about the price. Apple increased the price and removed the 256gb model. Although a new model is still out-of-stock everywhere and 1 month backorder from Apple. A $764 with 2 day shipping for the 512gb is a pretty good deal but far from the $400 256gb deal.

At these prices why not get a macbook? Would you kill the battery or something leaving it plugged in?

You can get a better piece of hardware for slightly more money by just buying an M5 Pro w/ 64GB.. Source: Just bought one.
It's about $400 more than the refurb M4 Pro they are showing here and has 64GB instead of 48Gb, like the M4 Pro shown here.

For running a 24/7 local AI, the Mac Minis are essentially one of the best options. They run cool, low W, and you didn't pay for a screen that will stay closed 98% of the time. If you need a Mac to use, that's a different thing, but a lot of people are using the Macs for Local AI due to their Unified Memory, esp. the Mac Minis.
