As title, can I return it and pay a little more to get a new one or something? I ain't in the US, I'll be buying this in Thailand at one of their resellers. Some sort of up-to-date program perhaps?

If you get the Mini within 14 days and don't open it before the new one is released, I think you get a discount. Don't quote me on that :D

No "up to date" thing. If you don't open it, you can return it within 14 days. If you do open it, you can return it within 14 days, paying 10% of the purchase price.

Discretion of the store- they just swapped mine even though it was opened.

Don't think that's how it works here. Southeast Asian countries rarely have a proper return policy in place. I'll check with the store.

But then what exactly would be the point in buying a computer, leaving it in the box for 2 weeks to see if a new version comes out ..... just wait :)

I wouldn't count on updates... From my pov, I see no reason for Apple to update the Mini to cutting edge technology. Why? Sure it's a cheap Mac for first timers, but they make less money and people will have a lesser experience when hunting around for keyboards, mice, and displays. If they already have it, great, but not everyone does. And to put all that effort into a little box...

If I purchase a Mini now and they announce refresh, do I qualify for anything?


Yes.......





















A sense of regret.........
