But still, it will be interesting to see if Apple changes the Mini design at all... (via Macenstein)
Yeah, of course it is the side of the Macbook. Why would the Mini need a screen? ...
Is the Mac mini about to get even smaller?
VentureBeat —
Is the image above the new Apple Mac mini? That’s what an anonymous tipster tells the Apple blog Macenstein.
But is it real? It certainly has a look in line with Apple’s newer aluminum laptops, but anyone will the appropriate Photoshop skills could make something passable. More interesting is the weird top lid-looking thing. It’s hard to see what that could be useful for, the current Mac mini doesn’t have one, but Apple Time Capsules (Apple’s router and external hard drive device) do.
To me, it looks like ...

Fake image of new Mac mini might not be fake
Boy Genius Report —
So Macenstein received an image from an anonymous tipster that supposedly depicts Apple’s upcoming Mac mini refresh. Presumably, the image is of an on-screen ad or a slide that would, in theory, be displayed during the Mac mini announcement many still expect to come next month. Macenstein posted it with skepticism, the blogosphere immediately dismissed it as fake and it probably is. That being said however, the reasoning most blogs are using to dismiss it isn’t exactly firm - at all. Firstly, the marketing blurb, “The world’s smallest ...

... desktop in the world. First of all is that what I want? The world’s smallest desktop? What about getting a small laptop which also happen to be a really small, tiny desktop? And what’s up with the lid? What’s cooking inside? Am I to open the Mini at any time I’d want to, you know, just to have a look inside?

Apple didn’t say anything about this one yet. via Macenstein Tags: Apple , desktop , Desktop PCs , mac , Mini ...
Is This The New Mac Mini? No (AAPL)
Silicon Alley Insider —
It's widely rumored that Apple (AAPL) will be refreshing its Mac mini soon -- perhaps during marketing exec Phil Schiller's keynote at next month's Macworld conference. (They sure need to -- Apple's desktop Mac sales plummeted last month.) So is this picture obtained by Macenstein an ad for it?
We highly doubt it. There's a lot of reasons why not in the comments on Macenstein's post -- Apple leaks are never (rarely?) through ads, Apple doesn't use blue LEDs, stupid tag line, etc.
But we think it's even more obvious this is a fake: There's no ...

More Details Surface on Rumored Mac Mini
Wired: Gadget Lab —
... Also, in less believable news, Macenstein over the weekend published an image (above) purporting to
be a spy shot of the new Mac Mini. "Is this the new Mac Mini?" the
publication wonders. Our answer: Probably not. It looks awful; it doesn't
even display the holy Apple logo. Lame Photoshop job that couldn't even
pass for a mock-up of Apple's fine design. ...
