Have you ever purchased a mb before? They all come with a plastic sheath to prevent them from opening during shippping. That plus light reflected from the flash of a cam can distort a pic. I know it's macrumors but jeez you don't have to put on the tin foil hat for EVERY rumor or pic
Got a tip for us?

Those lines are from the plastic wrap that is used to protect the computer. My 2010 MBP had that plastic wrap on it at the exact same spot.
LOL, good point.

this does look kinda legit idk...but isnt the top of the macbook different? am i going insane?
Whoa:
Notice that is the 15 inch that is currently indicated by the arrow just above it. Cancel that. the audio input is there. it just doesnt show the the audio out. I guess the 15 inch will keep the same setup too eh?
this is probably not fake, however it does look like it could've been photoshop'd because the words and the picture aren't parallel with the bottom of the box.
Are you familiar with the visual principle of perspective?
What if apple intentionally created these supposed leaked photos just to throw everyone off before the actual release?????? JK
So are we going to get anything else besides LIghtpeak, i5 and a small increase in hard drive size?
IF not then a price drop seems to be in the cards as well.
It certainly doesn't hurt that memory prices have dropped considerably in the past year.

How is that possible? It looks as if you are ordering it off the apple store but their store isnt updated yet.
How were those systems used throughout their lives? I've only seen plastic Macs crack and discolor with light or regular use. I mean, the current plastic MacBook is basically the only plastic notebook on the market that has hinge cracking issues within weeks or months of purchase.
I might be wrong about Sandy Bridge, but the fact remains that the Envy 14 at Fry's for $999 will still be significantly better than any 13" MacBook or "Pro".
We're not talking about lower graphics. We're talking about a GPU in the new Macs that can't even begin to climb the mountain while the HP system is already half way to the top.
HP sells extended life batteries too.
I've never liked MagSafe on my Macs. Cord is too fragile and I've seen too many fray and start to spark.
I've never really cared for the multi-touch trackpad either. It's annoying to me that I have to actually set preferences to make it work like it should with tap to click.
Again, I might be wrong about Sandy Bridge, but that doesn't discount the fact that the current $999 Envy 14 at Fry's will be a significantly better system than any 13" Mac.
The reviews I've read put the real world battery use for the Envy at 6-7 hours. Especially user reviews.
1366x768 is better than 1280x800 because its a proper 16x9 aspect ratio.
Having used a Mac for several years, I don't see why people seem to think the touchpad is good. Theres nothing special about it. Multi-touch gestures are essentially useless and Lion is just going to hack some features into OS X to finally be able to say "we're using it!"
Frustration with how limiting OS X is is the reason I finally built a new desktop PC. For the price of the Mac mini I was able to build a desktop with a Phenom II X6 1055T (stable at 3.5GHz using stock cooling, 25c idle), GeForce GTX 460 1GB, 8GB of RAM, etc. According to the benchmarks I've run, I have more CPU power than the $2,500 Mac Pro and more GPU power than any stock shipping Mac all for the same price as Apple's cheapest Mac.
I was hoping to see the magsafe connector show data connectors like the patent recently posted. This would have hinted at a monitor refresh.
I imagine Apple has reduced its monitor offerings due to reduced margins on these parts. An integrated data/power port could allow more functionality to move to the monitor, differentiating them from other manufacturers, and perhaps see the return of a whole line of monitors.

thanks DrJohnny for those pictures.. Interesting, the screen LCD lines make it seem less likely of Photoshop, but I'm a PS noob that just does very minor editing. Anyway, glad to see some 15" love
Dude you are right. Windows laptops are cheaper. And you get more horsepower for your money. Thank you for telling us all what we already know.
Dude, no way Apple would make the new Pros thicker!!
Thin is in.
so remember how i said 10 wed know everything..its 10:15 :/
