Canada/US: Mac Mini M2 Base model sale - $669 CDN/$499 USD

[bjcheung77]

Finally dipping myself into the Mac Ecosystem!  I put a pre-order in for the Mac Mini M2, base model with 8G RAM/256G SSD
I was reading Slickdeals and came across this one on the front page, clicked the link and wow, so many pages/posts already!
Deal started today a few hours ago, hopefully for those looking to 'get in on the deal', you can now pre-order... 
Note: I'm not a mac power user, the only items I have close to a mac is the old Iphone SE and an Ipad Mini 2...
