Has the right ports, but no new design

It's that time again, another Apple rumour and another semi-blurry picture of what is meant to be a new piece of hardware that will be out "soon". The rumour about a new Mac mini has been going on for months now with some pictures turning up online just ahead of Mac World back in January, but this time around, the design doesn't seem to have changed.

What have changed is the ports on the back, as the pictured Mac mini in this case has had a fairly radical upgrade (in Apple terms at least). It comes with five USB 2.0 ports, a FireWire 800 port, a mini DVI and more interestingly a mini DisplayPort, as well as an Ethernet port and two audio jacks.

There was of course some spec's listed as well and in this case we're talking about a mobile Core 2 Duo processor with 3MB of L2 cache and a clock speed of 2GHz. There's also meant to be 2GB of DDR3 1,066MHz memory as standard, which we highly doubt, as the cost of DDR3 memory is still very high and Apple wouldn't stick more than 1GB in the system because of this if its past records are anything to go by. The "Super Drive" is meant to have a SATA interface rather than IDE as with the current Mac mini.

Fact or fiction? You can make your own mind up by taking a look at the picture here
