MacBook Mini Rumor - Now with Shady Spy Shots!
A Russian magazine published images of the mysterious new MacBook mini, which of course, have been scanned and tossed onto the internet for all the world to see.
The images appeared in the magazine's April issue which helps cast doubt on the legitimacy of the images. That, and the Russian keyboard, the price, etc...
Still, that doesn't stop us from sharing the gritty details of the machine:
- 10.4" WXGA display (no touchscreen?)
- 1280 x 768 pixel with LED backlighting
- NVIDIA MCP79
- Intel Atom Z740 1.83GHz with 1MB L2 cache
- NVIDIA GeForce 9400M
- 2GB DDR3-800
- 64GB Solid State Drive
- Battery Li-Ion 5100mA
- Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n
- 1 x USB 2.0 (really, only one?)
- 1 x Mini Display Port
The MacBook Mini is expected to retail for $899. That's roughly double what the rest of the netbook market is going for. Also, we're sad to see that the faux-machine doesn't have a touchscreen. The recent rumor of a deal to create 10-inch touchscreens for Apple would have fit perfectly here.

how is this any different from a macbook or an Air? i don't see Apple trying to compete in the netbook market. the MacBook already comes in around that price and size.

Clearly a image edited with GraphicConverter or Imaginator, or something similar. Apple is not doing this. Makes no sense from a product line point of view.

so what's the point of the macbook air, i'm sure this will have a built in batterie, and thinner. this looks like the rest of the macbook, same touch pad and black, the air looks out of place, could something like this replace it?

What will Apple come up with next? From an engineer's perspective, I really do appreciate the time and effort Apple's concept development team(s) dream this stuff up ... a balance of art and engineering.
I'll bet the final product will be even more impressive.
Nothing like a Mac!
