Shedding some light into this mysterious device Apple's been cooking up in the Mac kitchen is AppleRecon. Now they've been seriously investigating into the rumors surrounding a 12-inch Macintosh puppy that is so elusive, that it even has lots of names: MacBook Pro 12", MacBook Mini, or MacBook Duo. Whatever you can call it, however, it's been getting some renewed hype and a whole lot of claimed features. It's sure to hold Duos now, since Apple's move to the Intel side.

But AppleRecon screened the truths from the rumors, and came up with the specifications that surround the little monster.

• CPU: 2 GHz Core 2 Duo (AppleRecon doesn't think it can go any higher than 2.5 GHz)
• RAM: 1 GB standard, 3 GB fully stocked
• Storage: (confirmed Flash-assisted storage with an unreleased Intel chipset - 256 to 512 MB) 80 GB standard, 200 GB tops
• Video: ATI Radeon X1900 with 256 MB memory (we're really doubtful something this small could hold an X1900)
  
• Battery Life: 6 hours, lithium polymer technology style (we'd give it a 4-hour estimate)
  
• Optical Drive: slot-loading SuperDrive, dual layer
• GPS: Not confirmed, though AppleRecon hopes this will come with one
• Weight: Around 3.5 pounds, battery and optical drive attached
• Miscellaneous: iSight, Bluetooth, 802.11b/g/n, Firewire 400/800, USB2.0, 10/100/1000 Ethernet, audio in/out, mini-DVI, (confirmed LED backlight display, 12-inch screen, 1280x800)...like the Mac Book extras
• Price: US$1799 for standard specifications
  
• Release date: Probably June 2007

This list could use a little more tweaking. Compared to the "MacBook Thin" specs we heard of last time, who knows what the "confirmed" specs are and what will eventually roll out (if at all). All we can really do now is wait and speculate some more...
