MacBook Pro 'Brick' Casing Photo?

It is, and I suspect that the case curves under to that point, i.e., it isn't less than the width of a USB port high, it's just the camera angle.
There is also an obvious plastic protective (?) cover on top, this seem could also be the edge of that plastic.
Good point. I hadn't thought of that.
I'll probably edit this post once I realize that someone has already brought this up, but does it seem as though there's no bottom to this thing? You can see the surface it's resting on through the port holes.
Edit: Yep, I was right... many, many times over.
OK, so it's a shell made using essentially the same process as the Air.
Amazing how much moronic hype this is getting.

My friends, I believe what we need here is to hope for the best case we can hope for. That's what this company's all about.
Now while those ones have been saying that the mini-DVI port is a horrible idea, what they're not saying is how much thinner the laptop will be getting because of this.
Now I pledge to you, my friends, that we will be getting a greater product, my friends, if we all consider the benefits of what this case brings, my friends.
Friends, we will have the best designed laptop in the world. And even though there are other products out there that might have a feature or two over us, my friends, we can take solace in the fact that ours will run longer, my friends, and faster, my friends.
My friends, we, my friends, will, my friends, see what's coming up, my friends, my friends, soon, my friends.
My friends.
PS. My Friends.

ROFL.
sad to say that ROLAND's post is probably the most accurate interpretation of that photo, hahaha
MacBook not Pro
If you guys look at this you'll realize that when they said they wanted to go 16:9 they would have to make them wider. I'd say that this is a MacBook, but that they are going back to two sizes for them

Maybe the Entry level ones will look like the old Pros and the new ones will look more like the Air.
And the construction from one piece is going to be the same as it is now. What it means is one piece top down, instead of one big one on the bottom and another on the top to house the keyboard. The new still will be one piece from the top, and the opening you see will be filled from the bottom and have a protective cassing and the bottom will be finished by a large flat REMOVABLE batter a la Air. Makes sense no?

Why do the audio in/out ports already have a silver bezel?
And, why are the ports already screenprinted?
And why aren't you guys using that to identify the ports? I can make out some of them, but my real job is keeping me from further investigation.
This thing is pretty far along on their production line, I guess. I'd say, since they're "due" next week sometime.

I read someone comment about the holes for the speakers. It looks like there are many more smaller holes in the picture posted than on the current MBP.
It looks like they might not even be holes in the pic. They look almost linear like slits. maybe this is due to poor image quality.

Yeah, but my problem is two-fold. First, it doesn't look THAT much thinner, to me. Second, if it DID get thinner, and MUCH thinner as you say, then something definately had to give, technology can't advance that quickly. So either we're getting a very low-end GPU (Bad!) or this thing will cook our breakfasts (worse!).
What's the point have having all that thinness goodness if you have to carry around a bunch of adapters. I've also read rumors of a lone FW800 port, not FW 400. I want thin and light too but not at the expense of needed adapters that I'll probably lose or forget.
That is *NOT* a MacBook, unless they've decided to do a 15" model. That's at least 1.5", if not 2" of screen grille. That's way more space then even a 4" 16:9 display can afford.

Someone's been watching McCain WAY too much!
That looks sharp; and I don't intend that to be a compliment.
I really, really hope that there isn't a seam on the front edge. The one on the Macbook had my wrists looking like those of an emo self-harmer after 20 minutes typing.

Because 95% of the time you don't need any of it. Just like drive bays on the Air, how many times honestly are you working from a CD/DVD
looks like the edge of the protective "shiny" plastic that's covering the speaker grill to me.
