Apple has dropped a 30-day trial offer for its Mac mini after less than 12 hours.

The promotion--"Mac mini Test Drive"--offered a 30-day money-back guarantee, and was available only through Apple's online store. It was launched on Wednesday in the US, but by Thursday morning UK time Apple's site no longer showed the promotion.

Apple did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the promotion.

Apple's site had stated that: "We're so confident you'll love your new Mac Mini, we'll let you test-drive it for 30 days with no risk. If you decide you don't want it, we'll take it back."

The rapid retraction of the offer prompted plenty of speculation online among bloggers and those in the Mac community. "This couldn't have been a promo which was initiated lightly. It had to have been approved by Steve himself. But was it too successful? Did more people try it than imagined? After all, any machines returned would have to be resold refurbished through [other] channels," one Apple fan speculated.
