MacBook Pro 'Brick' Casing Photo?

[MacRumors]

Engadget publishes what appears to be a MacBook Pro casing carved out of a single piece of aluminum which is consistent with rumors that the new Apple laptops would use a new manufacturing process.

Update: The image was also posted to our forums and originated at a Chinese forum.

Looks convincing and is definitely encouraging.

Looks like a seam along the edge to me..

Welcome to Page 1. I wonder what kind of video out it's using.

I smell a Chicklet keyboard....ewwwwww...

It looks like aluminum on top, but the white plastic on bottom where the ports are.

Came from these MBP forums from a Chinese forum

That picture is....wait for it......SOLID!

Actually, if it was one piece, it would be awesome. I have actually broken the little tabs underneath the keyboard where the side phillips screws go into, hence my keyboard lifts up on one side of my MBP. This should fix that from happening.

That's not fake. It can be another computer, but the image is real!

There is also an obvious plastic protective (?) cover on top, this seem could also be the edge of that plastic.

It's too small to be Mini/Micro-DVI.

 

[makowb]

I see a mini-dvi next to the headphone jack

 

[rychencop]

now that looks real, but who knows. it should be interesting.

 

[bigandy]

Ports on the left? Hrm.

No underside? So moving the chassis weakness to the bottom of the case? Hrm.

MiniDVI? Don't make me laugh.

 

[twoodcc]

well, anything is possible. but will it happen next week?

 

[BLACK MAC]

Looks promising. But until it's official I won't be getting my hopes up.

Ya. Looking at it closer makes me think firewire 800.

 

[namX]

I guess the battery will be at the back and the whole inside will be slipped inside via the hole that it will leave when its put out.

 

[mikespit1]

Still no HDMI? Sucks, but I guess it'll have to do.

well, looks very similar a standard MBP design to me. So we won't get a major redesign in terms of size and looks. only underneath the way they make it will be different but i don't care too much about that. no info about trackpad, screen becel and such of course.
