    Looks nice but I wouldn't buy one. I think 13 inch is the smallest I would go.

    Apple I think has an advantage since they don't have to deal with Microsoft restrictions (obvious in a way), unlike say, Asus or HP, so yeah, they can go max out the hard disk and ram as high as they want (around 160GB HDD and 2GB RAM should be nice). What I'm wondering is about the Intel restrictions.

    Hopefully this is true, so we really have another unique netbook/mini notebook, like the Vaio P (look at everyone else, the typical boring 1GB RAM, 80GB Hard Disk, 1024x600 screen, and the list goes on. The VAIO, even if it's expensive, it has a unique screen size of 1600x768 and the only netbook during this writing that uses a pointing stick rather than a touchpad).

    A rather obvious fake - take a look at the keyboard on the last photo. The screen couldn't close.

    Also compare what's on the screen with what is on the screens on the Apple website.

    the picture is definitely fake.

    the MacBook "mini" is in small print. should be MacBook Mini.

    it is a tempting thought though, a 10" tiny, slim mac. but where to put the magsafe in that slim case? no usb ports? so restore over the network i suppose, or through the net, or built in restore chip/partition?

    Just a little hint guys, it's almost April 1 FYI :p. So I really think this is fake, but it would be cool if real.

    Put me down for a fake too.
    Looks like a very good photoshop job mashing an air and macbook together.

    maybe the reviewer installed them to see how would they work? :p

    @ Tolkannn:Sorry m8,but your girl's friend need couple of Russian lessons-it has same ports as air,(nothing about optional LED and Camera),and that it doesn't have optical drive-the article says that it even doesn't have dedicated "eject" button.

    This is a pretty cool piece of computing! :D I would like to see one that small, just to have OSX legally on a netbook. ;) If it's under $600, then I'm going to pick it up, but if not, I'll wait... ;) It all depends...

    Pwned!



    And while I don't think it's real, it'd be nice to see Apple take on the netbook market, with something that has a nice set of features with an attractive price.
