MacBook Mini Concept: April Fool?
It seems like Macs are subject to the most mocked-up photos when it comes to visualizing the rumors. Mac fans don’t do anything half way and these pictures of the more than likely fake MacBook Mini are a perfect example.
This machine is definitely pretty, but is it real? "No way," would be my take on it but 9to5 Mac points to an advertisement in a Russian magazine which details (based on commenter translation) some pretty wobbly specs, but specs none the less.
Despite the fact that Apple has been saying there will be neither a MacBook Nano or iPhone Nano, people seem to be dead set on a netbook or ultraportable from Apple. If we were pushed for an answer we’d say Apple would rather go the ultraportable route than the netbook route. Ultra portables don’t come with the same bargain bin pricing and I doubt Apple will bring in more consumer-friendly pricing anytime soon.
Still, pretty things are fun to look at.
QFT. That thing looks like it's two pieces of painted cardboard. With how thin that will be, they'll get to charge you even more for even less hardware, and an even smaller amount of performance.
It's just you.
I think that only works if s/he says "Is it just me, or does/is/has"

Look at the comparison image of all three systems (MacBook, MacBook Mini, MacBook Air) below.

Look at the "S" key on the MacBook.
Notice how there is an angled manufacturing distortion (a compression, or crease or stain) running from approximately the centre lower area of the key up towards the right upper corner of the key. This is a result of stresses during the moulding of the plastic keys and is unique.
Now look at the MacBook Mini. Although the key has been lightened in colour, the "S" key shows the exact same deformation as the MacBook. This is also the case with other keys (The 'H' key has three horisontal deformations).
This clearly proves that the keyboard on the "Mini" has been photoshopped from the screenshot of the MacBook.
Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen. Case Closed :-)
I wouldn't go about posting on the internet often about your illegal movie ripping habits.
A laptop of that caliber one could easily snap in two or break by applying some force.
Also the screen has to be oled for it to be so thin, and weprobably won't see many hi-res oled screens on the market for a while!
