Anyone looking at a refurb of a mini, I suggest purchasing the Core Duo over the Core Solo...

no i want core solo!

no i want core solo!

Well then, that will be an additional $50 + tax....

Oh I get it. It's like when they discontinued the original AirPort cards (b), they went from costing $35 to $100 overnight. Supply and Demand - Econ 101. Right, got it!

they just mark the orignal price down whatever the discount is...on all machines..and not relize that new ones were better for the same price

Typo, they probably mean $379. I would call the Apple Store and if you can get one for $379, that would be a better deal than TV for a home theater...

379 would be a good deal. Do you think a Core Solo would be enough processor for HTPC? How much RAM would you really need too?

This corresponds to Canadian pricing, where the 1.5GHz Solo is $549.00, and the 1.66GHz Duo is $469.00. What does the Solo have that the Duo doesn't? Nostalgia?
