The question was about a port on the right. This is where the magsafe is now and will be on the new model. Someone else said that the 'mystery' port would non-magsafe, so I asked where the magsafe would go.
Simple misunderstanding.
Got a tip for us?

There weren't any such photos of the MBA before it came out, were there? As I recall, there were just verbal descriptions of it being "incredibly thin".
Yes, I think you are correct. Apple seems to be better at keeping the Macs under wraps compared to the iPods.
But I'm also thinking that these pictures may not necessarily be the finished article.
because this is macrumors, and we discuss rumors, and everytime a new model is rumored, it feels like i've been here before....

I'm not sure I understand what you mean about humidity. It's between 50-70% humidity (comfortable) in my living room most of the time, and I don't get moisture condensing on tape, nor does it make anything seem orange!
Please excuse my crudely drawn illustration, reminds me of the great iWalk forgery days!

I just really don't believe that that bigger one is the MacBook Pro. First of all there's not enough difference between it and the smaller one. That makes me think it's just a 15" MacBook. Second, I think it's a step backward from what the Pros look like now. The speaker grills on the current ones are much nicer. Also, I think if Apple doesn't put a REAL DVI port on a Pro model... well, I'll let you realize how stupid that is. The Pro should look significantly different than the MacBook.
Oh and it looks too rounded on the corners to get a nice thin bezel on the Pro. It just makes more sense all around that they are both MacBooks: 13 and 15 inches.

Just sold my 2.5 Penryn, I'm so not on the fence about this one. I knew chicklet keys were coming (which I hate), but I'm still going to get a new one and hopefully grow accustomed to them.
I would hope Apple didn't go for some highly proprietary connector for the display output on the MBP. If they did, I hope they use something more secure than Mini-DVI which so easily gets unplugged. Something that easily detachable isn't suitable for a Pro machine. If it is some mini displayport then I guess I'll be relatively happy that Apple at least was forward thinking with going for displayport.
However I think that maybe it is some different mini dvi/vga soluton that could use integrated graphics on the mobo, while the other is a fullsize displayport/dvi port that is more closely situated to where the graphics card would be in the machine. I think there was some report on AI or MR recently talking about the new NVIDIA chipsets switching between dedicated and integrated graphics. Just a guess here.

I wonder if the taped mystery port was a spring loaded door, that did not have the spring, hence the tape. But what could it be for if it is a door?
Do both the MBP and the MB (assuming that is what they are) have that port?

You make an interesting point about the bezel. With these corners, I figure the screen could be about this big:

Yeah, and even that looks a little awkward in the bottom left corner there. It certainly could work, but it looks way worse than the current ones do. Heck I'd like to see an almost square corner and super-thin bezel like the TiBooks.
I agree that it looks awkward. I'm therefore expecting the screen to be smaller than this mock-up (so wider bezel).
I haven't read all 50 pages in this tread so I don't know if someone already mentioned it, but if it's going to be half plastic wouldn't it made sense that the aluminum part be the outside of the laptop rather than the inside?, yes it would scratch easier but it would provide better protection, better heat dissipation, won't feel cold to your hands as you put your hands on the keyboard, etc.
Don't mean to question Apple engineering so save the "you're a M$ tool" replies.

This screen size is probably more realistic, which makes it about the same as the current MBP bezel:
