I haven't read the whole thread, sorry if someone already answered it.
Your "proof" have several weaknesses. For one, you cannot say anything about diagonal just by having the width, without knowing the ratio. You need to have at least two of those: width, depth, diagonal and ratio, to deduce any of the others. That leads us to another detail you seem to have overlooked: Air's screen ratio is 16:10. You'd surely lose at least some precision if you based your prediction on a differently proportioned screen, don't you think? That's even skipping all the lost precision from your measurement of an angled image...
And the last but not the least: did it never worry you that your result implies 16" in a notebook of 15.75" width, while current 17" MBP is 15.4" wide?
If I'm not sure whether your question is rhetorical or not, does that make me an idiot? Also, I'm not quite sure I spelled 'rhetorical' correctly, that also might contribute to rumors that I am an idiot.
so you are saying that the display will be based on the buttom case part...
I think you are right cause i see no display base part on that foto....
It would have to cause based on this pic the depth from the top of keyboard is close to the edge. and if the profile of the computer has to be shorter front (cause of the change to 16:9) then you would have to save it somewhere.
Plus a straight clean line there instead of the "L-arm" bracket at the bottom of current screens. It coulod form the whole back side and pivot within its own enclosure instead of in the spacial of the computer (base)
Look at how happy people are.
One pic makes people smile how amazing.
p.s Steve Jobs doesn't care about what you want or how you feel. He puts his pants on TWO legs at a time.

OK ive seen this pic so many times, and I know its from a keynote, but can someone please explain whats going on??
I figured out the dimensions.
Firstly, the "brick" reference is NOT manufacturing (e.g. machined from a block of aluminium). "Brick" mainly refers to structure (build quality) and is taken from a song written in 1977 by The Commodores, title "Brick House". I wont go into the details of this song, but within its lyrics we find the dimensions of this Macbook to be 36-24-36.

It sure did put a smile on my face... and it's still there
Finally, at least one good night of sleep
So its safe to assume the new macbooks will be mighty mighty? and possibly letting it all hang out?
The wrapping material of the MacBook Air is Plastic and not foam. Maybe greener MacBooks and much more greener package?
That would suck. I hate 16:9 for a laptop. Lots of people do more than watch movies on a laptop. I suppose as long as they don't gimp on the verticle resolution, i.e. less than 1050 or 900, it'd be okay.
And what do you need north south display when all programs scroll. And you could stack two windows side by each? I personally never full screen, and use the rest of the space for others stuff. So wider gives you more real-estate on the screen. And you lose only .5 inch in height, sounds good to me.
On the picture my guess is that the ports are: Ethernet - FW800 - 2x USB - mini DVI - Jacks
mini dvi because it has the same dimensions and the icon next to it appears to be like this
Yes but that connector in this picture is BIGGER than a usb port.

lol
if you look at the speaker vents, I think the design here is not the same as what we are used too. They are A LOT smaller. It's to prevent things (crumbs) from falling in, cause its actually a vent for the internals now. And acts like a speaker sheet, can probably conduct sound better as it is thinner and has less material to use, so it is less inhibited from allowing the sound out.
Duel purpose design, I love
