Leaked Aluminum MacBook Case?

Unless we're shooting something that only happens inside, we have outdoor shooting and part of the process is to take the digital files from the camera and catalog them and begin assembling them if you're editing. This is something many professional productions do as well. Just because you can't imagine this doesn't mean it's not happening. And FCP doesn't run on a toughbook.
One of the good things about the CRTs going away was the fact we lost glossy screens that cause reflections, bringing that back is dumb, and I'd never get a flat screen that only offered a glossy screen. I can't even begin to imagine where you got the idea that "glossy" is the future?
I don't even buy glossy photo paper!
And for that exact reason, they don't want. If the screen emphasizes certain things, one would make the "stuff" you work on less colourful, meaning that the graphics you were working on would look dull on it's own.
It's the same when working with audio: If you have a monitor (as in "speakers") which happen to "colour" the sound by, say, being bass heavy, your produced pieces will sound tinny and have too little bass, simply because your monitors will emphasize the lower frequencies. Hell, you wouldn't edit audio with an equalizer either. And certainly not between your amp and monitors.
On both accounts you want _precision_, not some add-on emphasis.
Easier said than done, unless you only use your laptop at a desk and as a stationary computer.
Finger prints? Should you really be touching your screen?
Yes, rolleyes, indeed. But people do. but dust shows equally great.
"it is"? Since when? I get that you don't have the black bars when watching movies, but since I use my telly for that, I fail too see how 16:9 is better than 16:10, or even 4:3 (boy, do I miss 4:3 – so much more real estate.
Eh, why do you feel the need to put those words in quotation mark? some people actually do at times. Not all of us are chained to a desk in a room. Hell, even just the mere circumstance of working at very different places (even if they're all out of the sun) will make a glossy screen a b i t c h to work on.
Says who? Are you suggesting, that just because one doesn't work with it under those circumstances 24 hours a day, seven days a week, it doesn't matter? Why compromise whe it isn't necessary? So some people can use it to watch movies with over saturated colours?
Er, or an MBP. Or thinkpad. Or numerous other laptops, PDA's and soforth.
You're kidding, right? You're comparing and end-user product to a product used to create content. There's a huge difference.
LOL, yes, and they're used to create content and they sure as hell aren't fingerprint, scratch and dustmagnets [/sarcasm]
Yes, and one of the reasons I won't buy it. But even so, I'm more likely to buy that one as glossy compared to any laptop, as with a desktop you can control the environment. It still sucks, though. Just not as much.
Change is far from always for the better.
actually your wrong, while, glossy has vibrant colors, which does show colors better, in a glossy screen you have to worry about color accurracy as because matte screen displays colors the way they actually look. glossy usually doen't, thats why the MBP come in the option of Glossy OR matte.
i realised this when i did some work on a glossy screen once, and when i printed it out, i realised, THIS ISNT THE WORK I DID LAST NIGHT. sorry mate but the glossy screen dosent show real colors.
so just acept that you dont know what the hell ur bloody talking about
I really love the iMacs display. It beats the current MacBooks display by a mile. You can't really see or read anything on the MacBook screen unless you have the whole screen tilted at a pretty extreme level - my thoughts are based on playing with display units at our store.
The 24" iMac screen is a work of art, I don't think I've ever seen such an amazing looking screen and a great computer in one package.

Yeah, I don't want Apple to switch to 16:9 displays as rumored for the next notebooks, because they'll have 10% less vertical area. I'll be okay if the dpi is increased however, which would most likely increase the resolution.
It has been proven that the logo is not facing the worng way.

dear god are people still tring
Hello kettle.
.You do know todays data is spread out more not raised in hight... hence why we want everything wide.
For those people who are arguing about matte vs glossy, you can put an anti-glare film on a MacBook:

It also reduced ultra-violet radiation and reduces burden on the eyes.

You're getting the same horizontal resolution, but less vertical resolution. Why would I want that?
i think he's saying, most media today is for a wide screen. but i might just be some stupid guy who dosent kno what he's talking about
I still don't get why Apple doesn't offer the macbook in glossy or matte screen finish. I think probably because they figure the general population doesn't know or care either way. That's probably why they offer the macbook pro in glossy or matte, they figure pro buyers are more likely to want to choose?
Looks real and with MULTITOUCH!
Tell me this image doesnt resemble this patent:

Looks like the two white areas resemble two touch surfaces....glass screen perhaps too.

glossy is more eco-friendly, but some pro users NEED a matte display
omg, we confirmed that it's not a photoshopped image, you can see the words macbook air centered, if it was a macbook air it would be off
Gloss=Crap
I hate gloss, although the iPhone looks cool in gloss, that cause im reviewing things, not creating them. Ill always stick with matte for design and creation.

As I mentioned earlier, you seem to be talking movies only. And the only "benefit" you will get by having less vertical real estate is that those black bars will not be there when watching a movie as opposed to a 16:10 or 4:3.
However what do you mean by "data" being spread more horisontal than vertical? Games? Web pages? Your mails? iTunes?
Hell, with more vertical solution, not less, one has more real estate when working with multiple tracks.
But I get it: Some people have only their laptop, and they want glossy and less vertical resolution, simply because they use their computer as a portable movie-viewer and not much else.

Seems like a good altertive.
Why do you want things tall?
Isn't 16:9 ratio better for watching wide-screen y[CODE[/CODE]movies?
That and for viewing more content. Problem is some people can't get it through their heads that the resoultion will change so you won't get "black bars"

..... Real mature
Just because it's round doesn't mean it's the air apple may be going with round iSights
Real mature don't you kids have anything better to do then cause trouble
Not quite. I see many webpages going for a widescreen formatt. It's still new so it's hard for you to understand and take in new technology
I for one like to try new things as well as stay up to date on the latest technology
16:9 will some day become standard on computers YOURE woried over veritical and how it will affect your games email and iTunes you Do not need to worry because the resolution will change so you won't see any black bars nor loose anything
Why can't people get this through their heads and stop living in 1998

The glare isn't the problem, the gloss is (although BullMooseFilms raised a good point about outdoor shooting). Tosser described the gloss issue well so I ain't going to repeat it...
Gloss is fine if you're just going to sit around watching movies and for normal usage. When it comes down to it I really won't be using it for serious design ~ it's a 13in macbook ~ so unless I'm travelling/away from my imac it won't really bother me either way that Apple go.
Yes it is, but 16:10 gives you 16:9 PLUS 11% additional vertical space. So you're not losing anything (except for a little bit of dpi that would give you a little bit more physical space).Isn't 16:9 ratio better for watching wide-screen movies?
Although 16:10 gives black bars, it's still using the same number of pixels to display the movie.
Yeah that's what he's saying.i think he's saying, most media today is for a wide screen. but i might just be some stupid guy who dosent kno what he's talking about
See attachment.
erm. there are more ways for gloss them watching a movie. I own an HP 24" LCD that pivots 90 degrees, ambient sensor and has 5 modes: Text, Gaming, Photo, Movie & Custom. All have different contrast, brightness and colors that fit in the appropriate category.
Alright. I can see it, but why complain over a smaller Resolution? I rather have a larger resolution and fit more info on the page.
