Apple cancels 30-day free Mac mini test drive promo
Apple has quietly ended its free Mac mini test drive promo, which the company had launched on its website yesterday. The Apple online store no longer lists the 30-day money-back-guarantee offer, which allowed users to try the entry-level Mac mini without any risk. The offer, first noted by MacNN, was exclusively available via its online store and was set to expire on October 31st. It also allowed users to purchase a keyboard and/or mouse in conjunction with the Mac mIni. As of August 31st--about 24 hours after the promo was launched--the offer is no longer available on the website and store representatives confirmed that the offer was no longer available, but declined to provide further details. Separately, Apple has also begun a 120 days same-as-cash offer for limited time. It is available to qualified customers.
