New MacBook Pro in German Webshop

tim3k · Sep 17, 2008, 10:19 AM

Hey Guys,

in the German Webshop of T-Systems (Telekom, T-Mobile) is a new MBP, with a 2,6 Intel Core 2 Duo and a 250 GB HDD.

Here is the link:

The MBP looks a little bit different.

Best,

Tim

wow, now i dont think i want to believe this but it may be worth keeping an eye on the site to see if it gets taken down.

still.....if it is..oooooo very exciting times!!

specs dont look any different so maybe its just a pic of a new one

8600M GT... Not the new one.
Penryn CPU clock speed, too, so they're either updating NOTHING or it's the current model. GUESS WHICH.

Looks like one of the thousands of mockups floating around the Internet.

A little different?

Someone will be getting into trouble for leaking that picture. Wow.

snake101st · Sep 17, 2008, 10:33 AM

Hmm, not too bad looking. Black bezel, macbook (white or aluminum?) keys, a little rounded.

Not too impressed by the specs though, if they are correct.

8600M GT...

Better be bollocks...

MBX · Sep 17, 2008, 10:48 AM

This must be legit if it's on T-telekom's website!

People this is not some small nobody-shop in new zealand!

Now the specs might still be the old who knows but why would they put up a pic of a macbook pro with black bezel around the screen if it's not an official picture!!!

I guess somebody there messed up. I think it looks great. Except i was expecting the key's to be black. but maybe they'll just change the design to the new keyboards and keep them aluminum.

ergdegdeg · Sep 17, 2008, 10:49 AM

The specs seem to be the ones of the current MBP but it does seem weird that it says that it can't be shipped yet.

Exactly. It's the current MacBook Pro with a crappy mockup as the image.

Montevina doesn't have a 2.6GHz processor clock, even. It's 2.4, 2.53, and 2.8.

So why should T-Systems use a "crappy mockup" as a picture, while they have pictures of the current model that could be used?

rupie94 · Sep 17, 2008, 10:59 AM

It's on a German website... that says it all

Chrissvp · Sep 17, 2008, 11:02 AM

Looks like T-Mobile have half the details from Apple, have set up the new item on the system with old spec as dummy copy and then gone live with it by mistake.

owdin · Sep 17, 2008, 11:02 AM

Did you guys see the size of the trackpad?
Maybe it's a mockup. Or they already have got a picture from apple but no specs yet?

Because on a good day they probably sell 2 MacBooks nationwide and don't really give a damn......

MacRumors · Sep 17, 2008, 11:04 AM

A company called T Systems in Germany posts a strange photo of what is claimed to be a new MacBook Pro.

The image carries a black border around the screen and could very well be a mockup. Unlike iPod cases, it's very unlikely for a random retailer to have gotten promotional images of an unreleased Apple notebook.

Great... this is a news story now...

Page 2 at least.

stukdog · Sep 17, 2008, 11:06 AM

If they do look like that, I think it looks real nice.

JG271 · Sep 17, 2008, 11:06 AM

Just looks like a bad mockup that they've pulled from the web somewhere.
I doubt apple would send images to companies before sending the computers themselves.

It was already posted in April, comment 318 there you can view it in HQ.

cnote678 · Sep 17, 2008, 11:12 AM

I think it looks almost exactly like the current model except for the border. If that is a mockup, it's pathetic and uninspired. If it's the real new MBP it better have some sweet features.

Pixellated · 11:14 AM

That is beautiful even if it is a mockup, loving the 'Racoon' look coming from the iMacs.

EDIT: Look closely, do I see white chicklet keys?

roland.g · Sep 17, 2008, 11:13 AM

No keyboard change

jmann · Sep 17, 2008, 11:13 AM

This is really interesting I wonder how long that will stay up there. I honestly thing that it is someones ignorant mistake. Especially when considering the specs are the same. Who knows. I guess we'll see.

Nope. That one is a change to the 15" MacBook Pro, and this one is a change to the 17". Not exactly different, but not exactly the same.
