The Dell Mini 10, the Mini 9′s successor, which is due to start shipping later this week will come with a “fixed” 1GB of RAM, meaning, it won’t be upgradable according to Dell. Does this mean that the RAM is soldered in, or fixed on the motherboard? Anyways, it’s probably a result of the netbook licensing limitations they have with Microsoft.

After being challenged over a still image of the future Mac Mini, the user of a popular Mac Forum did a follow up with this video.

While its authenticity has been disputed, the mystery system has gained what appears to be supporting proof of its existence from MacRumors forum poster “monthy,” who on Friday posted a brief video tour of the Mac mini shown in the photo.

The clip shows a case which is fundamentally identical to the current compact desktop, including its wrap-around aluminum skin, white plastic top, and slot-load optical drive, but continues to show the exact same change in ports as before. A fifth USB port has been added, while Mini DisplayPort and mini DVI replace the earlier, full-size DVI video connector. FireWire 800 also replaces the earlier FIreWire 400 port.

No voice-over or other commentary is provided with the video, though in the previous leak the forum poster also claimed to know the system has architecture largely similar to a modern MacBook: the update would contain a 2GHz Core 2 Duo with a 1066MHz system bus, 2GB of DDR3 memory and a Serial ATA-based SuperDrive.

When compared to this photo of the current Mac Mini available, you can see the obvious difference in the ports on the backside of the machine.

What do you think? Real or Fake?

Despite rumors of an Apple netbook, there hasn’t been any official word as to what it would look like. Regardless, designer Isamu Sanada decided to make some renditions of what he thinks they may look like.

I think I would like the flip over version better myself. But first I would have to learn how to work a Mac.

Which one would you prefer?
