Apple to Honor Taiwanese Mac Mini Pricing Mishap

Earlier this week, the new unibody Mac mini went on sale in Taiwan. However, Apple accidentally listed the Mac mini with 8GBs of RAM for $19,900 NT (~ $621.77 in US currency), but was supposed to be priced at $47,000 NT (~ $1468.51 US). This of course, led to a blunder in Apple's history as the company raised the purchase price on orders from the $19,900 NT to $47,000 NT.
As you might imagine, customers were none too happy about this. With many people threatening lawsuits, and complaints from a regional organization called the Consumer Foundation, Apple has decided to honor the mispriced Mac mini at $19,900 NT.
Like with all good deals, there is a catch. You can only get one Mac mini at the wrong price, and as the pricing mistake was only on the educational store, buyers must confirm their student eligibility.
