Intensely Rough Mockup

Wait nevermind, I think I overlaid the old keyboard there lol
 
Well, the current MBP keys are aluminum aren't they? Why not have aluminum "chiclet" keys on the new design? I think that would look nicer and more professional than either black or white.
 
Aluminum Macbook style keys look better but they still don't look right on the current style MBP. The laptop will need alot more reworking assuming they will ever look good at all.
 
These look good. The only thing is in the macbook, the magnetic latch to open it on the bottom doesn't go all the way through- it is just like a little less than a centimeter. I don't think I explained that well, but I hope you get the point.
 
Changes that I would like for the new redesigned MBP:

-aluminum MB/A-style keyboard
-removal of the plastic grey strips that currently border the case
-streamlined opening mechanism as seen on the MBA
-even smaller bezel around the screen
-retain the 'grill' design (not a "change," of course)
-0.85" thickness all around, no taper
-larger multitouch pad as seen on MBA

I think the MBP would be perfect aesthetically with these changes. Can anyone photoshop this?
 
Black Anodised aluminium would be AWSOME!

otherwise I think,

-magnetic latch
-multi-touch trackpad, a la MBA
-maybe different keyboard, but not the macbook one.

definitely black anodised.[edit] meant to repeat 'would be awsome!' - I dont actually think there will be a black anodised one, but a man can dream :D

completly shure about that!
 
Not a fan of the MB style keyboard. Not to say that it's awful, I just like the response of the current MBP keyboard a little better.
 
Yeah.... but,

It will have the new keyboard, it's the only one left that doesn't. It will have a magnetic latch (macbook got it, as did the air). Probably will have 'hidden' speakers like the other two. Multi touch of course, and a new slimmer all aluminum case.

Someone get on that with the photoshop.
 
I only have a MB, but my friend has a MBP, and that thing is like heaven typing on. I hope they don't change it much.
 
K guys, Here is a before and after that I just threw together...this is pretty much what I want...

These are some UGLY designs my friends.

I am really happy I just bought another MBP especially Apple goes ahead and ruins the current design in a fashion similar to what has been proposed here.

Please don't bash me: I just don't see anything in this thread that comes close to the current elegance.

Wow, this must be the first post ever that doesn't include all the specs of your MBP, why it's brilliant and you love it, and a snarky little comment about the improvements of Penryn.

Well done.
 
Can someone put a black strip around the screen like the iMac? Me likey.
