Refurbished Macs at The Apple Store (updated)

This morning, The Apple Store restocked 17 different factory-refurbished Mac desktops and laptops, along with the selection it already had in stock. Of particular note is the $999 Aluminum iMac and the $429 Mac mini, both hard to find in stock. All get a 1-year Apple warranty, the same as new models. All also get free shipping. Sales tax is added where applicable. Items are removed from Apple's web site once they sell out, which is usually quite fast for the least expensive models. A summary of the lowest prices on popular models:

• Mac mini Core 2 Duo Desktop (4 model) for $429
• MacBook Core 2 Duo Laptops (7 models) from $899
• Aluminum iMac Core 2 Duo Desktops (4 models) from $999
• iMac Core 2 Duo Desktops, previous generation (3 models) from $849
• MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo Laptops (13 models) from $1,449
• Mac Pro Quad Desktops (5 models) from $1,799 (Octo for $2,499)
