looks real to me. can't wait!

Twilight Elk · Feb 20, 2009, 05:36 PM

How interesting

I personally believe its a fake, but then again, I don't believe in something unless it has been officially announced :\

ichabodkky · 05:37 PM

Looks like something. I'd like to see the thing actually plugged in to a monitor for solid proof that it's not just a box.

ShaunPriest · Feb 20, 2009, 05:36 PM

Looks real to me.

Maximillian · Feb 20, 2009, 05:36 PM

In for 3... wait, this isn't Woot!

Tallest Skil · Feb 20, 2009, 05:36 PM

It's fake until he plugs it in, proves FireWire works, proves all the USB work, and proves Mini DVI and Mini DisplayPort work.

And then it's just the cheapo model. Like the white MacBook.

Kyouya · Feb 20, 2009, 05:36 PM

Meh, fake.

Xavier · Feb 20, 2009, 05:36 PM

That seems to be the new Mac Mini! Lets hope that it's true

Sky Blue · Feb 20, 2009, 05:36 PM

Looks totally fake you can see the macroblocks and the mega pixels.

Hawkeye411 · Feb 20, 2009, 05:37 PM

The shadows for the USB ports are on different angles as he rotates it. It looks like they may be uneven. Obviously a fake

airlights · Feb 20, 2009, 05:37 PM

I think it's fakkkkeeee.

hjb1000 · Feb 20, 2009, 05:37 PM

Certainly more convincing than just a photo now isn't it !

overanalyzer · Feb 20, 2009, 05:38 PM

It might prove to be a fake, but at least it's apparently a real object, unlike the usual photoshopped photos

hayduke · Feb 20, 2009, 05:39 PM

The edges look to have a different roundness and the aspect ratio looks a bit different.

TheAngusBurger · Feb 20, 2009, 05:39 PM

The only thing I don't understand is why it's still using white plastic, when Apple has moved all of their other products to black plastic...

mrrydogg · Feb 20, 2009, 05:40 PM

I think its fake.

If its not fake, its fugly!

Why wouldn't it be black and metal? Thats the look of ALL the new Apples!

fleali88 · Feb 20, 2009, 05:41 PM

Lesser Evets · Feb 20, 2009, 05:41 PM

PHOTOSHOPPED!

....ok, maybe not.
Looks like it could be the real deal. I love how the original poster is trying to get out there with his product.

SteveMobs · Feb 20, 2009, 05:42 PM

Sure I'm skeptical, but to all of those who blatantly denounce it as a fake, how on earth do you fake this?!

And sure you can say photoshop, but who, that is that good at photoshop, is going to waste their time, when they could be making money doing other design work for clients?

fleshman03 · Feb 20, 2009, 05:43 PM

lol. I think this guy posted a video to prove to everyone it's not fake. There is a good point about plugging it in though. Maybe it runs Snow Leopard? hu hu.

Or maybe a 12 USB prot MM is coming....
From 9to5.
(I'm just having fun. But if the leaker wants to post a boot up video with the use of the USBs....)

omegaphil6 · Feb 20, 2009, 05:43 PM

There is no friggin way apple releases an updated mac mini after such a long wait without redesigning the case itself... If there is a new mac mini ever to be born, it will be unibody... Metal and black... white is out for mac hardware

hscottm · Feb 20, 2009, 05:44 PM

I always love (and sometimes encourage) the inevitable "fake" posts.

Can we all at least agree that this faker has gone above and beyond the usual level of faking by taking it to the video level?

I will ask this question: why would someone fake the firewire port?? that to me is the real head-scratcher. If I were faking, it would not add that on. To me - that makes it real. Its the "too unbelievable to be fake" part, like so many other previous non-hoaxes on here that were originally deemed fake.

That said, its probably fake ;-))
