New Mac Mini Caught on Video!

After being challenged over a still image, the source for what seems a leaked future Mac mini has now posted a video that shows the device from all sides.

While its authenticity has been disputed, the mystery system has gained what appears to be supporting proof of its existence from MacRumors forum poster "monthy," who on Friday posted a brief video tour of the Mac mini shown in the photo.

The clip shows a case which is fundamentally identical to the current compact desktop, including its wrap-around aluminum skin, white plastic top, and slot-load optical drive, but continues to show the exact same change in ports as before. A fifth USB port has been added, while Mini DisplayPort and mini DVI replace the earlier, full-size DVI video connector. FireWire 800 also replaces the earlier FIreWire 400 port.

No voice-over or other commentary is provided with the video, though in the previous leak the forum poster also claimed to know the system has architecture largely similar to a modern MacBook: the update would contain a 2GHz Core 2 Duo with a 1066MHz system bus, 2GB of DDR3 memory and a Serial ATA-based SuperDrive.

The video is labeled "Mac mini 2009 edition," clearly asserting that the system is intended for a release this year.

The Likely Specs: * Mini DVI connector * Mini DisplayPort connector * FireWire 800 (I thought Apple was ditching Firewire) * Five USB ports * Aluminum Shell * Probably Nvidia gfx -- some iteration of GeForce 9400M

[MacOSXTutorials123]

Well, yeah, but if you do what can you compare? :)

Just a friendly question.

[jetpack1986]

I said if we put the specs aside :)

[MacOSXTutorials123]

Umm... What HDMI? First off, the specs have changed dramatically, and they now have a faster processor and 1gb of 1066mhz memory. That is standard. Also, the mac mini actually now supports two monitors.

The older mac mini had the crappiest graphics card in the world, but now they have given it the same graphics card as the Aluminum Unibody MacBooks.

Still think they are the same?
