Strange RAM situation on the mini. The tech specs say PC2700 (DDR 333), but our demo model's system profiler showed a PC3200 chip. So that's what I'm selling, assuming it clocks down. 512 chips start at $100, 1GB chips go for $250.
One customer wanted the 1GB upgrade and an AirPort Extreme card installed by our service department. The service manager was the first person to open the wee box and was confronted with a couple of surprises. The tool to use is a putty knife (we actually found one in our janitor's closet), a special model of which may be ordered from Apple service.
The big disappointment is that there is no AP mount in the unit. The kit has to be ordered. We're working on it. Customer couldn't go wireless right now, but was so happy with the mini he didn't mind waiting.
We sell only the 2 stock models and can't do internal Bluetooth or SuperDrive options.
I sold 4 of the $599s and 1 $499 model, a couple of our bargain basement LCDs with them. Unfortunately, we're out of Apple keyboards (great planning). I figure I can attach $100-$300 on average to every mini sale. Switchers will likely account for over half the sales.
I still have plenty of minis to sell today.
Our situation is unlike the Apple stores because we did no advertising on the minis or shuffles.
