In all honesty, I've never seen an MSPaint mockup of a product in the entire time I've been here prior to this.
It's fake because it's not in an elevator. That's all I know.
Got a tip for us?

That's the one line that I always love to read, always brings atleast a small smile, sometimes a lol.
It happens every now and then, not always with a MSPaint job, I'll admit, but someone posts obviously outlandish specs, I remember seeings ones for the iPhone, MBA, Cinema Displays (a long time ago) and iPod, I've been on here (MacRumours & Forums) since about 2005, but I didn't get around to signing up till 2007.
I guess I'm just being overly grumpy, but somebody just bailed on me for a lame reason so I think that's a valid excuse

People bailing on you sucks. I've been an observer for a VERY VERY VERY long time as well and yes... I've seen a few as well... but I'd rather see cheesy paint mock ups than repetitive search-able questions and OS X 10.x.x update file size posts

Very true! I think I might give this a go, give photoshop a little whirl and see what I can come up with.
hehe
i just like that the silver one's are gonna be nice and "shinny" screw leggy, bring on shinny!
oh my god that is the first time I have legitimately cracked up and actually LAUGHED over a post on here.
Props to you, my man!
Basically the same as a air superdrive I like the look but the shape would kill performence and probley overheat.
Probably?! Might as well buy an iPhone, as it would be a damn sight faster...
I can only see 10mm being chopped off the current mini, at max, it's already pretty damn small to begin with...
Unless… Apple uses an electromagnet to hold the plug more firmly when the computer is powered on.
This is acutally described in one of Apple's MagSafe patents.
If the Apple logo was the other way round and it didn't have MagSafe
They could always use, the MagSafe, No reason not too. A good place to start tho I think.
Aluminum and Glass is probably the way that they will go.
The only good thing about such a small format Mac Mini is that it opens the door for the mid-range tower. MacMini for very light usage/HTPC, xMac for mainstream/enthusiast, Mac Pro for pros. iMac is in its own market believe it or not...
Sure Apple will try its best to make it complicated to upgrade but still, I think they can only have no desktop parts in their computer for so long, especially with the great reviews the Core i7 is getting.

Also the power button needs to be in the back, not in front, this is heresy !!!
I quite like the current design; trim any fat that they can with new technologies, and change the shiny top to black so it matches the current theme of the iMacs/MacBooks/MacBook Pros and it would be just fine IMO.
I also could happily have one without a DVD drive, but I think it would be unfeasible as it could be someone's only computer, whereas with the Air the assumption is made that most laptop users have fairly easy access to other computers if they need to install something.

I agree with you on everything except the SuperDrive exclusion. Mac minis are destined to switchers and Windows users do relay quite a bit on their CD's...
Depends on the size of the screen too. I have a 32" HDTV as a main monitor for my Mac Pro, with a 20" Apple Cinema Display as a second. Highest resolution I can get OS X to set on the HDTV is 1280 x 720 (annoyingly, as I know both my NVIDIA card and the HDTV support 1366 x 768), but when you factor in the distance you sit at to use a screen that size it's a perfectly usable resolution. I sit a good two metres-ish away on a couch; perfectly readable text, and great for games, just annoying to get ones that support the damned resolutions that look good though.
Let me guess.. DVI->HDMI adapter? Try the VGA port on your television, HDMI does not support arbitrary resolutions, basically only 480i/p,576i/p, 720p and 1080i/p are allowed. Yes I know it's DVI compatible signaling but hey it's still crippled to those tv-standard resolutions. And you're getting 720p so sounds like DVI->HDMI to me. Getting your mac to do 1366x768 is another matter altogether and may need some tweaking as 1366 is not divisible by 8..
No complaints with my 1080p tv, runs 1920x1080 just fine.. but I wouldn't ever consider using a tv as a primary monitor.
This is so stupid why not just buy a Mac Book? I really don't get this whole cult following for a little box that in reality is nothing more then a laptop with no screen. Why not buy the Mac Book and have the best of both worlds?
