What The New Mac Mini Will REALLY Look Like

There have been Photoshopped mock-ups of a new Mac Mini with ridiculous amounts of USB ports: First one with five, then thirteen, and finally another with seventeen of the things.

You people are crazy. There is no way Apple would announce a new Mac Mini with that few USB ports.

I happen to have gotten from an anonymous source today a leaked ad for the next Mac Mini. It appears to have a much more logical amount: 70 USB ports.

It’s a bit larger than the past generations, but at least you can finally connect a freaking keyboard and 69-pack of mice. Come on, that’s essential.

  • great but where is firewire
  • You are the FireWire.

    You were this whole time.

    What a twist.

    i'm missing the equal quantity of Fire-wire Connectors for the external drives and time-capsules.

    Ouuch, only one ethernet-port. Whats about the second one for a ptop connection?
  • Just use your Wifi connection to take over another Mac (or Windows PC!!!!) and use the FireWire ports on that. If you REALLY need FireWire, that is. Because why would you? Everything's moving to the cloud anyway, and that's the answer to all our problems.

    Stick a 1.5 TB drive into each of those...get MacTheRipper and a Netflix account...oh yeah.
  • Yes, but then you won't have a free port for the Lego Mindstorms set that controls your automatic add-to-queue-then-get-mail-then-insert-DVD-then-press-buttons robot.

    Otherwise it would take up way too much of your free time. And, you know, programming that robot wouldn't.
