I trust you arn.
I want to say that I think most people who are calling bs on all this are just upset at the specs. We were wanting 1440x900 resolution, SSD, No optical drive. Maybe even the possibility of liquid metal.
But as the pictures continue to stream in it seems less and less likely we will see any of that. =(
Totally with you on that one bagoborealis........however if you look on the Apple site and at the tech specs for the MBP and strangely enough the white MB it does detail that it incorporates an audio in/out optical port........that box in the image merely says digital audio output /analog output. Seema that to give base line mac users a nice looking Alu macbook that audio in maybe a feature they choose to leave out as I highly doubt large volumes of everyday users actually utilise it.
Come tomorrow though and it will all hopefully be clear!!!!!
Ahhhhh, I see your point. Either that or poor attention to detail when faking the label!?
Come tomorrow this madness will be over till the next refresh!
here you go
Arn Ill concede!
It looks legit enough and having just read that any major MBP refresh wont take place until next year makes me think its just a run of the mill upgrade and there will unfortunately be 13" MBP that arent as fast as a MBA. Crazy.
Cheers for the image. Dont know much about PS so I would say that looks genuine.
PS. Just to add that the symbol for 'thunderbolt' looks way outta touch from anything Apple.
The box is beginning to look like a Windows PC with the Intel branding and that cheesy lightening strike. Looks like it was designed by that bloke who did the new iTunes icon. Does he work for FisherPrice and draw with chunky crayons I wonder????
Mmmmmm..... Guess what Im trying to say is that box looks cheap and nasty..... If this is insight into the future of OS X (lion) than I aint that pumped about it to be honest!

Why is this personal - about trusting "arn"? Does he own one - are these pics his personally that are being posted? Perhaps I am missing something.
Is only the new 13'' MBP gonna be released tomorrow and 15'' and 17'' next week, or are all the three MBPs getting the refresh tomorrow?
Why do you say the MBP's won't be as fast as macbook air? Just because the Macbook air has a ssd doesn't make it way better. You can drop out the MBP hard drive and put an SSD in it in under 15 minutes and you will have a beast of a computer. I know because thats what I did to my 2010 mbp and it boots up in like 14 secs and runs everything almost instantly.
This is my first MacBook Pro refresh, when can we expect the Apple store to update with the new models?
Well, this is still one model. the low end 13". We don't know what the higher end 13" model, 15" and 17" models have. So there's still some hope. Certainly higher resolution is likely. The SSD, we can hope. I mean I guess unless you were shooting for the low end 13" specifically.
We don't even know the price of this model.
My understanding is that the low end 13" model is the only one that resellers have gotten. That's why all the leaks are on this one specific model.

Lol, just saying I trust him. Don't think it is in his best interests to try to scam out his viewers. Otherwise he would lose out on viewership on this website.
I was referring to games. I don't know too much about their relative performance for professional workloads (image, video editing etc.). I would guess similar, but that's a shot in the dark.
Ok. Thanks for replying.
Just making sure if I return my recently purchased 13" MBP, that I'm getting a decent enough upgrade.
So, there's still hope for Liquid Metal?
well, I never had any hope for Liquid Metal.
But, if you want to hold onto hope... how's this for a theory: Apple shipped the 13" MacBook Pros to resellers. They certainly knew when they would arrive. Why just the 13? Did they hold back the 15", 17" on purpose? Is there more to reveal?
(I have no idea) We'll find out in 16 hours though. I expect everything is going to be announced first thing Thursday.

here you go
How long did you have this image for or did your source provide it in response to the doubters. Why can they not provide other images than just the ports or the box. What about detail of the 15" or 17"?
All these leaks seem like they were carefully selected, drip feeding just a tiny bit and focusing on the TB connection. Would surprise me if the leak worked for Apple and this is some sort of viral marketing to get the word out there before the official release.
No one has a 15" or 17" in their hands. I had the image for a couple of hours, but didn't feel like it warrented a story on its own.
