Apple Computer has quietly cut the cost of souping up its new Mac Mini.
When Apple introduced the Mac Mini earlier this month, it was the lowest-price Mac ever. However, customers at Apple's online store noted that adding extra memory or wireless abilities could quickly add several hundred dollars to the $499 price tag.
As of Tuesday, though, many of those build-to-order options are a little less expensive. Upgrading the diminutive desktop to 1GB of memory initially cost $475--almost as much as the computer. It now costs $325. Apple also reduced the price for adding Bluetooth and AirPort Extreme to $99, a $30 drop, and it cut the price for upgrading to an 80GB hard drive to $50.
