It's too thin to fit any of current power components in it. There's zero chance of this place model being the new MacBook Pro.

Interesting in combination with older liquid metal rumor:
Especially the menu-color change.

I already debunked those images that were edited. Liquidmetal does not look like that.

Well, other rumors also talk about a new metal being used that is stronger and lighter than aluminum, so liquid metal makes sense.
The color is just a mix of other rumors (like the intel advert, etc). I wouldn't mind black metal to be honest
It definitely has similarities to the current MBP but it looks more like Intel just took a stock MBP photo from Apple and changed it just enough so that it looks different. Apple wouldn't have any reason to release any promo pics to anyone at this point. It's not like promo pics are part of the supply chain..
Yeah, I'm thinking intel just thought they looked nice and changed it enough to not get in trouble for it.

Liquidmetal is a possibility, I was simply pointing out that those images you posted were edited to match Apple's website when they first changed it and don't reflect what liquidmetal actually looks like(which is close to what aluminum looks like).
Did Intel leak the design? Read.

There was another thread about it earlier. It looks like they simply edited one of apple's stock photos, but left it looking quite a bit like an actual MBP. I highly doubt Apple would give pics to intel anyhow, so it's unlikely
Wow, we must really be desperate for the new MBP's! I don't think Intel would let their designers use a new mockup and as much as I'd favor a black MBP, Apple's always used silver/grey for their premium laptops - I doubt they'd change now.
Look at the MBP on the left
Surfer... dark shorts... yellow surf board.
Hmmm.

Intel has used Photoshopped MBPs in their past ads as well. For example Light Peak was showed in MBP with 3 LP ports and it was compared to normal MBP.
Put aluminum in the same poor lighting conditions with a low quality camera that has some clear discoloration and it would look the same.
Show me a finished liquid metal product in good lighting, then we'll talk.
Indeed they do - they both seem to have screens, and there's even a lower portion on that new laptop! I'll bet there's a keyboard as well.
If these were indeed the new MacBook Pros, Apple would be screaming at Intel to take down every instance of that picture. Black glossy on every surface doesn't seem much like their style anyway.
Not saying it's an MBP or not, but the screen is definitely 16x10 (white outline) as opposed to 16x9 (red outline).
somebody confirms this plz?
if it's 16:10, then there's a very high chance that this is indeed macbook pro, right?
