Does this mean all hope is lost on the optical-drive-less MacBook?
Nope, its called Macbook Air.... Its been out there since Jan 2008.... Go get it before its too late.... Oh wait....
Now that you are awake from your slumber underneath that Rock.... U can get the newer ones may be on 14th Oct.
ah yes sorry i must have missed it. so it looks like it will just be Firewire 800 (or 3200) for the MBP.
Anyone remember this patent?
I'll tell you one thing for SURE- Mr. Ive most certainly didnt draw that.
look at those apple logos! ew!
someone lighten the mood, quick, this is scaring me. (not the picture, just the general thought that the leaks really could be a macbook pro...)
Ok this is to make it easier for me and others cause there seems to be some confusion on which photos are from which computer
#1 "Pro" or 15" MB
#2 13" MB
4 images of each, same angles (basically) for each computer

if your correct thats extremely good... but i still think it should be on the macbook as well, and there are still far to few differences... to justify spending an extra ~1000
the idea of a half plastic Macbook makes me nervous..
It makes me nervous too.
If it is, I'm sure I'll like it more 'when' I see it, but It's still an odd concept.
My friend linked me this, which claims "New Apple MacBook Pays Homage to Silver Pandas".
PANDAS?!I guess that's not too bad a thing given that fw800/fw3200 is compatible with fw400. Hopefully they will provide the pin converter.
but there's no firewire on the Macbook ? Only the Maccrook Pro ? Yay for having to spend an extra $1000 for a feature that a $50 laptop would have. Apple are a bunch of crooks. Or they want everyone to buy their special apple converters for $250 a pop or something ?
i hope the chicklet keys are aluminum on the mbp. i could dont give a flying **** about the regular macbooks. just hope the mbp is all aluminum, including chicklet keys and display housing.
dont want black plastic chikley keys unless the bezel is black to match.
i cant wait until tuesday. thank god for football sunday and mnf.

But wait, I thought that was ethernet? or are we saying the one behind it is ethernet? and what about the magsafe then?
Some thoughts:
Screens: I don't mind glossy now I've lived with my MB. Might be nice to use 14" screens with a smaller bezel and have 16:9 ratio, and LED backlit.
FW: Please let one of the ports be a combined fw800/400. Audio interfaces and cameras are FW... You could argue that's a Pro feature. Photographers loved the 12" PB. A small Pro level laptop is then necessary. Musicians loved the small PB too (myself included). Signs of a small Pro? Too much overlap with alu MB?
Trackpad: the bigger machine has a smaller pad with more supports. Signs this is a glass pad like a sunken Touch? The smaller machine si the MB with a Air-style pad.

No, because the cases may (though unlikely in my opinion) be fakes. Or no, because it's a new magical form of firewire that happens to have an optical-drive sized slot.Does this mean all hope is lost on the optical-drive-less MacBook?
AKA Probably. People who want an apple netbook will tend to purchase the Air.
It makes me nervous too.

Dunno about Pandas but those shots are what I'm expecting:
I don't think that's very likely what with the spot light turning to 'notebooks' and all, not just MacBooks. What I think is more likely is that whoever got these photos only got to take pics of the new MBs and not the MBPs
