Leaked Photo of the Next-Generation Mac Mini?

[MacRumors]

AppleInsider publishes a photo of the back of what is supposedly the "next generation" Mac mini. The rumor site says the photo corresponds to an early prototype photo they were aware of last fall.

The port configuration previous rumors that the new Mac mini would bring improved specs. Specifically, the new Mini was described to have 5 USB ports, FireWire 800, and two Display ports (Mini DisplayPort and Mini DVI). All these can be found on the leaked photograph.

It's about time, but would Apple really get rid of venilation holes unless they switched to a different CPU type (like the Atom?)

Thats got to be fake, it has Firewire.

Why would there be 5 USB ports? That seems like way too many compared to other Macs.

5 USB ports I'll scrounge around the inventory system at work tomorrow for new product placeholders.

There's the mini display port. Yes, I think we have found the one.

It's the same case as the current Mac mini.

If this is the new Mac Mini, I'm rather disappointed. I was hoping for a case redesign to match the new Apple aesthetic.

So how long until Apple is inspecting the floors of all their employees?

Wow, so this picture has been circulating for quite a while. It seems like this would have been on the front page of MR yesterday.

Not only is unlikely because of FW on board, but FW-800? This has to be a fake. The mini comes in below the consumer laptops in terms of hardware specs, it's absurd to think they'd throw something like FW-800 at it now.

Fake!
