And if you were going to buy used, is there a reseller you would trust? (Apple is out of minis…)
It might be a good idea to look at local buy/sell groups or Craigslist and get something used that’s inexpensive, just to tide you over. People list Mac Minis often enough in my region. You could resell it later, too.
That’s a good thought…I had always stayed away from Craigslist, but for no specific reason…I’ll wade in there a bit…
