I got off the phone with local BestBuy rep and they are giving me additional $50 discount for missing Restore DVD.
I am surprised it's even coming with restore DVD since there is no CD/DVD.
Can anybody confirm what's inside?
thx |

I can't confirm what comes with a new mini, but I would be hard pressed to imagine any optical media ships with a computer designed to not have an optical drive.
There is supposed to be a recovery partition on the HDD.

SC is correct no DVD ships as it is unnecessary for the unit.
Perhaps you didn't notice the "What's in the box" section in the "Hello" documentation that came with the Mini that no DVD is noted.
Hopefully you will do the right thing and let BB know you made a mistake?

right. On top of $50 fiasco they sold me loaded machine with all stuff from other user, including Windows 7!?
I guess in this case BB is excused since they didn't have "restore DVD"....just unbelievable... |
