Photo of 9.5" Mac Netbook?

They are, but not for all products. Just like the cheapest $999 MB, I think that a MacBook Mini (they've never call it a Netbook) would fall into the prohibitively expensive category for the lower price point and net profit for a cheaper machine.
That was my first guess, too.
Plastic makes me think fake, but it also makes me think cheap...which is kind of the point. Hmmmm. Either way, it sucks.
Ew, I know.
It's totally fake. It looks like crap and the logo is totally a knock off.
I could believe it if it weren't for two things...
1. The logo is like the glass, reflective logo I think they only use on the iPhone/Touch boot screen. I don't see them using it here because it's ass ugly.
2. Apple's moving away from plastics. No matter what their new product is (netbook, teblet, etc.) I feel like they're going to use the unibody design they have a manufacturing boner over

I certainly don't buy this. I don't think Apple would go back to using a plastic enclosing on notebooks... it would certainly hamper their 'green' initiative. However, the logo gave it away. Not to mention the ventilation on the back that's absent from all of the modern notebooks. It's a fake.
ah
Probably fake, but I would think the white plastic would make it cheaper? Maybe cheaper entry models (like the mac mini) will keep some of the white style alive?

As for number 2. Don't be so sure. Apple will stick with plastics if it keeps the price low. Unibody is expensive compared to plastics and if Apple is going to release a netbook at low price that won't take away sales from macbook, they will probably stick with plastics.
LMAO this is a mini iBook with a fake ass Apple logo photoshopped on top. This photo is so pathetically fake I'm really amazed it made it to the front page.
Let's see, how many "photoshoped" pictures have shown up here lately and later turned out to be real?
I'm just going to stay quiet on this one and I'll wait until we actually have a product.

Not buying it
Sorry, looks way too much like a fake for me to take seriously.
The logo doesn't even look possible! I don't think there's anything they could actually put on a computer to produce the effect shown in the image. That, and it's way too easy to change the relative size of the current macbook and a ruler in photoshop, way too easy.
