Apologies if someone's said this already, & I could be wrong (haven't seen the image close up), but if that's supposed to be an image though the isight camera, shouldn't the logo on the t-shirt be the right way around, not mirrored?
 
So when will they be available?

So if this MB & MBPs are in the wild and being delivered, does this mean that they will be released Tuesday?

Or will Apple release tomorrow?

Why would Apple wait for Oct. 14th if they are being delivered now?

I guess this means there will not be a special event, just a quiet release.

No, isight will flip the image.

No. It's mirrored unless you tell it not to.

Damn it! Keep the frickin FireWire 400. I don't want to have to buy different cables!

Not to mention new Cinema Displays, since they only have FW400 ports on them and the cables are permanently connected to the display (unless they make some kind of adapter to plug FW400 cables into the FW800 port). And the Cinema Display has a full sized DVI connector, too, which looks much better without a mini-DVI to DVI adapter as used on the MacBook.
 
Don't be fooled by no HDMI. DVI can meet the same desires as HDMI. However mini-DVI would kind of suck.

I've been waiting to get a new MBP for awhile, I hope the upcoming date is what I have been having wet dreams for. I'm all for CS4 and the new MBP coming out around the same time.

As much as I hate to admit it, I think this might actually be real for once.

All the rumors which have been circulating are part of this picture, and not like other photoshopped ones where it's the faker's own wishful thinking projected:

1. Rounded corners similar to MacBook Air
2. Glass trackpad for faster application openings and more screen space
3. iMac inspired display casing
4. Black keyboard design

I think this might be real guys. And yes it's perfectly natural to reject changes such as this, we are humans after all!!

Well I would imagine if you were going to try and convince people you would make sure that your fake pic included all the circulating rumours. Just because it fits the rumours it doesn't make it real, it just means the guy who made the pic has been reading the rumours.

Also, as mentioned earlier, the angle of the camera taking the photo does not match with the angle of the photo.

I vote fake. Just my opinion.
 
for the use I want a Mac laptop the only reason to take the Macbook Pro is the 15" screen...:rolleyes:

so if a 15" Macbook is comming out at 1299$ then the Apple can expect more growth....;)

I think I m not the only one thinking like that:p

in EU a 15" Macbook at 1299Euros could easily rock...
 
I'm going to be amazed if these come out before the UK and Australian back to schools promotions end.
Although, they sound great and i can't wait to get a new macbook! Hopefully it will be about £650 for the base model.
 
Hey guys, MacRumors newbie here.

First off, in regards to the posted image, I personaly think this is real and not some sort of Photoshop / Render. (I say that because I use Photoshop every day and can spot fakes miles off! Also a dab hand at 3D.) Annnnyway, my reasons.

If you notice, the dock is the right way up for the user, not upside-down of which it would be if it was a reflection. This rules out the big 'fake' claims from people judging on first impressions.

iPhone/Touch has already shown the world how how acurate it can be when it comes to moving something. I ask any of you with one to load a large image and move it about on screen, and tell me how deadly accurate the movment is. It's only a slight bit of code to make to turn that into a trackpad with added bonuses. Hell, the iPhone screen is very, VERY slim and can display videos/images/whatever, so why not use that as a trackpad? Would probably even fit in a current MacBook/Pro (with slight modifications) and sit flush with the body depth wise.

The image represents what alot of people have guessed. Black around the screen, Black keys on an alu body. Proportion wise and thinks lining up (edge of keyboard to the edge of the device, for example) are perfect and that to me cuts out a Photoshoped image attempt.

I vote it's the real deal. The only thing I can think of is moving the mouse about and accidently tapping a dock object could get very, very stressfull after a while, so I hope its an option and can keep the dock on screen instead. I've used Windows all my life but used a Mac for the last 12 months and I am converted. Selling my PC and by the time I get the monies these new Macs should of been released (Mid October.)

If they come out sooner, then that's a BIG bonus! Either way, I'm giving Apple money in Oct, new MacBook or not.

EDIT: Forgive me if I am wrong, but that's a MacBook, not a pro? I say that because of the positioning of the DVD drive, and how close to the edge and central opening slot it is? Well, judging by looking at a current MacBook!
 
The picture has to be a fake. But, I also think it actually has some true properties. It's aluminium, it has a black border around the screen (like the iPhone and new iPods) and it has tapered edges. That doesn't seem to be too unrealistic to me. The only thing I doubt to be real is the glass trackpad with a dock.

Disappointing if there isn't more to it. If aluminum casing makes the masses celebrate then anything will.

Obviously the specs will be beefed and the pricing tweaked, and probably bigger mouse pads like the air for gestures, maybe glass. Reason enough to get excited if you've been waiting.

This is the first picture that I could start to believe could be real...but going by the picture, I'm not sure If I like the look. Kinda looks ugly in comparison to the current model. That's the only thing which makes me think fake. Then again I thought the new nano was ugly in the pictures that surfaced, and it was what they actually looked like. Just hurry up s dog, throw us all a bone.

The evidence is that this is the real thing.....look at the T-System story

Unlikley, the superdrive seems out of place. And the bottom of the alleged photo seems more white, although that might just be the photography or photoshopping.

Also, i doubt that the trackpad will have the dock on it. That doesn't make any sense to me and such a substantial feature would be released with an event most likely.

The angle/position the guy is holding the camera vs the angle of the picture is not correct. He is holding the camera much higher than the picture is relative to the macbook. With that said, I like the design minus the unuseable trackpad.

Considering the screen could be slanted back a little and it doesn't look like an iPhone sized image just resized, I would say the picture is actualy bigger but cropped. Maybe to hide a store logo/name or just to focus on the subject matter.

If that were a real photograph it would have had to been taken from a straight on angle by a different camera from a distance of at least 10 feet with a zoom of at least 10X or maybe 5X.

and if that had happened the guy holding the iPhone would be in the shot.
