I really hope it is fake. It looks cheap somehow. It looks too much like a MacBook. I really don't like the keyboard at all.

The overall design looks great. I'm not quite buying the validity, but if it's similar to this, I'm selling mine and buying this. The only thing that bugs me is that the keyboard is black. People are going to get confused if it has the same keyboard as the MacBook Air, at least keep it aluminum to make SOME differentiation between their notebooks.

of course no one will know what it will look like until it is released.
The kensington lock could be on the other side of the MBP. Also most notebooks with VGA ports don't have screw holes, so why do you need them with a DVI port?

The crappy shadow photoshop effect underneath and the blue circle **** going on?

It's very nice and I think it could be close to what we'll get but I think this is fake.

dunno why but thats the standard. the current MacBook Pro has screw holes on the DVI port and so do DVI video cards in the Mac Pro and PC towers.

Honestly I could care less about the keyboard; as long as they give the user (easy) access to the HDD and add the magnetic latch I'd be happy.

If it has black keys I'm not buying it. Right now my laptop looks like s**t with the black keys because they show so much wear.

Gut feeling says that the MacBook Pro keys will be different than the MacBook as a way of differentiating them. Could be wrong, but it's always been this way.
