I walked into an electronics store the other day and was browsing through all the laptops....most of them are just hideous....then you see the Apple section, and the MBP stands out like Excalibur w/ lights shining from the Heavens (ok maybe it was just the glow of the florescents) ....seriously, it is a work of art, its beautiful in every way, the proportions are perfect on the 15" model. I don't know how they can improve on it to be quite honest and the silver keys w/o gaps are a big part of it.

THEN you look at this monstrosity that is alleged to be the new version...it can't be and won't be. No chance! It doesn't have that 'step forward' Apple look at all, as someone mentioned it looks like any ol' PC....and from what I saw in that electronics store I'd have to concur. Hideous!
 
Just plain ugly!

Reminds me of those people in the Macbook forum that dye their white notebooks black and leave the keyboard white and vice versa. :rolleyes:
 
Well.. it's pretty ugly. My old black Macbook had a lot of fingerprint issues.. I can imagine how this one would look like after a couple of days with it's glossy finnish.

The black touchpad is *ugly.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems the "Pro, on-the-go" doesn't match the width of the :apple: website

This has already been posted.

Many have labelled it a fake. The accompanying ad seemed fake given the copy.

Still, I think this is the new MacBook Pro.
 
No. everyone wants to be the "first" to find a picture of the next big thing. funny thing is that these are all newbs posting this crap. dorks!
 
Missing a few key things about the photo and Ad.

- Power button???

- All the inputs on the left are the same in size.

- Everything is at the same location as the current MBP

- Apple will NEVER have an Ad with their logo upside down

- Why in the world would someone at Apple place two "new" MBP side by side for a "leaked" photo shot.

what if Apple release a really UGLY MBP like this fake one? I hope not as my PowerbookG4 can't make it to 2009 I'm afraid

I think the remaining stock of the current model will get sold pretty fast.. at least I will grab one of the those if this is the new "design". As said before: Ugly.
 
I wish this fakes were true, this way I could stop waiting for it and buy the current one instead. ;)
 
i really hope thats not real, i would do anything i can do get the current genoration.
because that looks f****** gayy.

ALSO. it's the same MBP, just a black hard case, and some photoshop on the track pad and key board, new OS is coming out in a few months so it would have the new one running on it.
