One of the things that bothers me about these new "leaked" Macs is that they still have Firewire ports on them. Yes, Firewire is great, but Apple seems to be phasing it out pretty quickly. Only the Macbook Pro has a Firewire port amongst all of their laptops, so why should the lowliest desktop maintain one? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense if you ask me.

Retaining Firewire may be to appease users who bought external drives to beef up the pretty low capacity of the original Mini. Personally, I doubt the Mini will have it, but you never know.

They'd only make that if it had more display port options too. I mean, people want the regular d-sub 15 and composite video, and HDMI, and an RF connector would make it really useful too.

Excellent idea, Bardfinn!

I want HDMI too; I'm hoping for a new mac mini to be a good general purpose living room computer, incorporating all the apple TV goodness.

Dear sweet baby Jeebus, hear my prayer!

HDMI on the refreshed Mac Mini!

THAT would be my perfect all in one media center.

I have no plans to purchase until 127 ports... I feel like this model cheats me 62 ports!

Make it 65 HDMI ports and we have a deal!

That's almost enough to accomodate all the crap that Brando sells.

I'm not quite where Dean gets his information but all currently shipping Macs have Firewire ports. Some 400, some 800, some both. Apple's not dumping IEEE 1394 quite yet...

@Dean: @Zathras:
I wouldn't say that firewire is being phased out, as FW800 appeared for the first time on the iMac with the last refresh. A mini with only FW800 would be consistent, as the new MacBook Pro's have only FW800 at this point.

However, the current Macbook has no firewire. And no way to add it, as it also has no expresscard slot.
