This port is certainly not DVI, Mini DVI, or Micro DVI. It also seems like it is not wide enough to be HDMI and it doesn't look like it fits DisplayPort either! Does anyone know what this port is?
Upon further inspection, it seems like it is Mini DVI. Sorry. However, I hope this picture is (or I am) wrong. People won't be too happy if they cannot power their 30" displays with their MBP.
It isn't mini-DVI, it's too small.
As Arn pointed out it might be two-toned i.e. half plastic half alu. We'll have to wait for more leaks, lol.
The problem is they aren't staying which is pretty obvious from the pics, plus it goes (from back to front) Magsafe, ethernet, Mini-DVI, Firewire, USB, USB, audio in, audio out, kensington
Well, for one I'd prefer a front loading slot drive... I move my cursor to the drive... click eject... then my mousing hand gets stabbed by a CD
I have to move my external mouse and coffee out of the way... whereas if it was front loading... I'd just need to suck in my belly
when it's on the side, you have to move whatever is on your desk next to it to access the drive, when it's on the front, it is considerably more convenient.
What specifically aggravates me about this should it be true is that they are willing to compromise on details like this just for an extra .1" reduction in thickness. I sometimes think apple puts far too much emphasis on thinness at the expense of functionality.
Comparing the Trackpad size/placement against the Spacebar and Command keys the new MBP seems to have exact same size trackpads as the current MBP. So the new MBP will have the same size trackpads.
For those ruling out the possibility of a glass track pad already. Its always possible to implement the glass trackpad in any trackpad size as long as apple has decided to do so.... but my bet is we wont be seeing this any time soon. Like any other company out there.... we will see these new features trickle down one at a time.... Just so that Apple can sell new Macs to us every year.
Both MB and MBP seem to have an additional hole near the front left hand side - like a microphone or headphone socket.
Also the MBP seems to have an extra USB port, taped over in the photo, next to the mystery hole near the front left.
Kensington security hole seems to be next to the CD slot on the other side. [edit: for the MBP]

Strange
The Video-Port definitely looks different on the smaller case. So maybe they are giving us the wrong clues. The big one is the MacBook and the small one ist the tiny and sexy MBP 13-inch. Now that'd be my wet Apple dream.
Look at the shot of the video port. I tried to draw it, but due to little caffeine and even less drawing skills on a trackpad, it looks shaky. But you get the idea.
The upper 'front' corner may be a compression artefact (don't know), but it looks different than any port I currently know. And it has the video label above.

I can confirm this, after just measuring my USB port and mini-DVI port, they're both about 1/2 an inch (sorry I'm at work and apparently only have non metric rulers), in the pic the USB port is obviously wider than the video port
I think the the bigger case is also for the bigger Macbook e not only the Pro...
there is no reason why not since the maggiority of the parts are the same...
13" Macbook in a world of 14-15 is way little....

your opinion, and thats only when your using it on your lap; I think you'll find the front is much much better for desktop usage. I don't know about you, but i'm much more likely to be at my desk when swapping discs in and out than using it on my lap.
Yes, just my opinion obviously, I use a Pro with it on the front and an old macbook with the slot on the side. An for me the side is better. Regardless everybody will have different preferences. I guess is not a major point either way.
