I disagree , Mini is a desktop so maybe that's why the FW800 is in could also be something to do with the massive backlash over removing it from the MB.
just a thought.
Got a tip for us?

Then that leads me to suspect that this is just a current mini, modified to look like a new metal design with new inputs.
Fake.
Not a fake - probably prototype.
It's probably a prototype unit that Apple sometimes ships to testers.
This however does not mean it will ever be available to purchase.
Don't get excited!

The shadows for the USB ports are on different angles as he rotates it. It looks like they may be uneven. Obviously a fake
just a few to highlight... the 'blocky' look is because the FPS for compressed video is around 15fps. smooth video is 24/25fps.
seriously, its people like these who just want to put people down makes me sick of the lack of respect this forum has.
have you seen the inside of the new Macbooks?! There is literally no room to put firewire in.

D'oh! You forgot to center "All Rights Reserved."

Nah, but he did misspell "ECC".
If it's just a hack job on an existing case, good job! I too think that the lack of Apple lawyers is the biggest indication that it's not legit.
Hahahahahah You still believe that? You can always redesign these things. FireWire was not taken out because it was necessary.
Geez people, what's your problem???
A) What I said is an exaggeration
B) Regardless of how low-end the Mini is, it deserves to at least be updated enough to be sellable. Adding a USB and Display connector isn't going to cut it. Combining the video with the other 'leak' says that the new processor is 2GHz, which is exactly the same as the current one.
I'm not saying I hate Apple and I think I'll hold off on the sex button, but my frustration is with Apple's neglect of it's staple desktop computers and exclusive focus on iPhone & iPod lines while trying to be the "decider" about what is 'in' and what is 'out' in the entire computer industry. (cough Firewire cough cough)
My ~3 year old Intel mini has 4 usb ports on the box itself, last years iMac only has 3. What's your point?
Between Firewire 800 and USB ports, do low-end models have to have fewer ports than higher-end models? I don't think that's a requirement set in stone. The product line doesn't have to be a perfect pyramid where one model clearly supersedes another. Besides, perhaps the next Mac Pro refresh will add more USB ports, although Apple may think that 5 is enough and they might be right.
For Firewire 800, the MacBook doesn't have it because it's current design doesn't have room for it. Could Apple have design the MacBook differently, perhaps, but they probably felt the form factor was more important than a Firewire 800 port. In the case of the Mac Mini, there is room for it. Should Apple simply refuse to add a Firewire 800 port even if there is room, just because the MacBook doesn't have it. If Apple did that, people would then be complaining about the lack of Firewire.
I agree with him, it's tight in there for real and probably no way they could have even stuck a full sized Display port in there let along Firewire....
My gripe is that Apple didn't have to make the books any thinner, but people that d!ck around with there machines are rejoicing at the lack of features, so Apple is happy.
My point is homie that its not apple's style do that sorts of stuff. Look at the new macbooks and macbook pros, for an example
How interesting
I personally believe its a fake, but then again, I don't believe in something unless it has been officially announced :\
I think so too. Firstly they don't show the thing in action. They have a new Mac Mini but all we have seen is a crappy low-quality phone picture and a video of someone rotating a box around.
Also doesn't look right. Can't put my finger on what exactly, something about that metal bit and the power button.
I am amazed that you're the first person to say that.
The Apple TV will become what that never was. Don't worry.
