Apple to honor price difference on Mac Mini BTO price drops
One day after announcing price drops on several of
the built-to order options for the Mac Mini, Apple announced they will
refund the price difference on those options if you
ordered your Mac Mini within the two weeks prior to the price cuts. You must call Apple Customer Service to receive
your refund.
There remains confusion over the burn speed of BTO SuperDrive option on the Minis. The drives were listed as 8x
following the price drop announcement, but the online store again lists the drives at 4x as of yesterday at 1:00 p.m.
EST. Although several Mac Mini owners report burn speeds at 8x, the official word from Apple Customer Support is that
although the drives read at 8x, they only burn at 4x.
The Mac Observer notes the odd inclusion of an 8x
SuperDrive in the eMac education-targeted Mac line, while both the consumer-targeted iMac G5 and Mac Mini are relegated
to a paltry 4x speed drive. Good point. What gives?
