Mac Mini to Gain Support for Dual Displays?
Evidence recently discovered in OS X configuration files points to the adoption of NVIDIA's MCP79 chipset in the forthcoming Mac mini and iMac revisions. The current models of the MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air already utilize the chipset, which offers a substantial increase in graphics performance over the Intel GMA 950 integrated graphics found in the now-dated Mac mini.
The report also casts doubt on recent rumors that the Mac mini will see a shift to a black plastic and aluminum enclosure, which would bring its appearance more in line with that of Apple's iMac and notebook models.

As I already said, this goes against BYODKM, as it forces EVERY switcher to buy at least ONE adapter to use ANY display they might have.
Agreed. This is unlikely to happen and man, I hope it doesn't.

But it follows the "upsell principle" - increase profit margins by adding overpriced accessories to each purchase.
Give me DVI and Mini Display Port
Its a win-win, Apple get to push Mini Display Port onto people, while still supporting older ACD and 3rd party displays.

It'll definitely come with an adapter.
The laptops are different - you don't need an adapter to use the Mac, it comes with a display! The Mac Mini needs an adapter if people are to use existing displays with it.
It will come with one. Definitely.

Unless it comes with an adapter. I haven't bought a new Mac since my G4 MDD, but it came with an adapter. Then again, back when my G4 MDD was new, it was more in line with Apple's Pro line of computers.
As long as I can get this Mini hooked up to my TV via it's HDMI input, I'll be peachy.
It'll definitely come with an adapter.

Here's hoping! It's not definite until someone opens the first box.
This sounds to me like some guy saw an early prototype a few months ago before the new MacBooks - interim enclosures and preliminary port setups. This would also explain why the article claims it won't have a black/aluminium exterior. I call bull.

Or... goes on the Tech Specs page after the Philnote and reads the part that says "In The Box"...
