Best Buy to carry Mac Minis in stores
Tuesday April 5, 2005 4:55 PM EST
 It's been confirmed that Best Buy will carry the Mac mini in its stores. Best Buy has been selling the Mac mini on its website for several months but this is the first time it will be on their store shelves. Macs were carried at Best Buy until 1998, when Apple decided to move out of several retailers and focus on its own retail stores. We feel this is great news for people who don't live close to an Apple Store and want to see the Mac mini in person before buying one.
Kevin Cockett, a Best Buy spokesman, told CNET News.com the retailer was "excited" to begin carrying the Mac Mini in all of its stores. "It's the latest innovation from Apple and strengthens Best Buy's assortment of computers."
Earlier this week Merrill Lynch analyst Steven Milunovich issued a research note saying: "Last week one Best Buy showed us Mac mini accessories; Mac minis are coming later."
At that time he noted that the Mac mini might not be available until Tiger was released. "Buyers would not be pleased if they had to plunk down an extra $129 after their $499 Mac mini purchase."
