Sighting of MacBook Air in Moscone Centre

applemax · Jan 12, 2008, 06:04 AM

Just thought you'd like to see. I just saw it so I took a pic

I guess the elevator mockups start ------ now!

Must be true since the picture is inside an elevator.

yoppie · Jan 12, 2008, 06:11 AM

I doubt it. Someone would have been carrying that or something. No way, Steve lets that go unguarded. It's just there in all it's glory for you to take a photo of - not buying it.

Nice try.

lol - you obviously haven't been here long - it's a tradition here at macrumors that new products are jokingly placed in elevators ever since the 'ihome' elevator shot.

Someone's clearly a n00b

Yep I'll admit, I'm a newbie on MacRumors so I don't know all the traditions/jokes. Photo still sucked.

I think I get that part now that the others mentioned the tradition.

The joke sucked. <---- is that better for you.

ETA: I apologize to the OP for ruining the joke/tradition. I had no idea - guess I walked right into that elevator LOL.

Hi to all people, congratulations for this great forum :9

one thing, or the elevator it's so small or the box so big! For the dimension of the box it must be a 17" laptop at least!

I was thinking more along the lines of a 24" or larger laptop ..

mrjain · Jan 12, 2008, 06:48 AM

It's real guys. My uncle who lives in Cupertino works as a janitor and he said he saw someone putting that box into the elevator. And apparently Steve saw my uncle eyeing the box and told him to pinky-swear he won't tell anyone.

deathstar · Jan 12, 2008, 07:20 AM

it's fake or someone have stolen the mac XD

Ah, and even the iHome 'elevator' shot is an myth - it wasn't in an elevator. Or at least, no elevator I've ever seen (i.e. one with carpets, standard office wall panels and a power duct round the side...)

lmao.. reading this post really made me laugh - loads of people pointing out how obvious the box wasn't there when it is the shoddiness of the image that is in fact the joke; poking fun at fake spy photos.

Just one look at the image should tell you that this is definitely a joke even if you don't realize the elevator connotations!

If Apple were to invent the iElevator we'd see shots of elevators inside elevators!

This brought the lolz

Maybe it's the new iJoke. Jeez kids, lighten up a little. FWIW, I thought it was a great joke.

Doesn't matter if it's 17", some people still think that anything 0.25" thick qualifies as a subnotebook.

Yvan256 · Jan 12, 2008, 09:46 AM

I just saw Steve entering the same elevator with a MacBook Air box!!!

Nice elevator shot

Btw, is the name "MacBook Air" confirmed? I mean, I like the name, it just doesn't sound to me like a name that apple would choose for a new laptop. But what do I know?
