A photo showing rear portion of upcoming Mac mini has been leaked on the web. The photo shows five USB ports (4 in present gen), mini DVI (DVI in present gen), mini DisplayPort, audio ports, Ethernet and FireWire 800 port on the back of upcoming Mac mini. It has been rumored that the upcoming mini will have an additional USB port along with new mini DisplayPort found on Apple’s laptop lineup, and from the photo it looks like the rumors are true.
The image was posted on MacRumors forums and the original leaker claimed the following specs: 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 3MB L2 cache, 2GB DDR3 1066MHz RAM and SATA SuperDrive. There was no information about the graphics card but its is believed that Apple will adopt NVIDIA’s GeForce 9400M graphics chipset for the upcoming Mac mini lineup as it did in MacBooks.
Even though, it’s almost end of February, our sources still say that we should hear more about upcoming desktop lineup before end of this month or early next month. Apple needs to update its desktop lineup as soon as possible because all three systems are now looking outdated. We would advise all our readers not to invest in Apple’s desktop right now, as very soon the company will update its entire desktop product lineup.
