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.

I dont know if any of you have noticed but it looks like cyberduck is in the dock and last i checked apple didnt advertise there macs with 3rd party apps. And the address book is in the wrong spot.

yeh your right! the Address Book icon is an applications stack which isnt in the dock by default. good eyes! definately fake.

im going to say its a fake as theres no kensignton lock and no DVI port screw holes. unless Apple has totally done away with any locking mechanism? and also it looks like the power button is off-centre… like its actually from the Air?

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.

I am the author of the mockup - here is an updated version per all the criticisms I've gotten.

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.
