9-to-5 Mac brings us this delicious concept shot of a what they're calling the MacBook mini. While definitely a concept created by someone with a healthy imagination, it looks like the killer Mac netbook we're all waiting for.

The only downside is the price -- $899 according to the report. Unfortunately, $900 just won't fly for a viable netbook alternative. It needs to be sub-$500 or risk a nasty Microsoft commercial about it.

According the the Russian magazine it was spotted in, specs are:

• 10.4" WXGA display • 1280 x 768 pixel with LED backlighting • NVIDIA MCP79 • Intel Atom Z740 1.83GHz with 1MB L2 cache • 2GB DDR3-800 • NVIDIA GeForce 9400M • 64GB Solid State Drive • Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n • 1 x USB 2.0 • 1 x Mini Display Port • Battery Li-Ion 5100mA

What do you think? Would you buy one?
