Where's the aluminium? 'Consumers want aluminium' or something like that.
From the history, we can see macbook look like ibook and macbook pro looks like powerbook. I think this tradition will not be changed. If it change its look, it would angry many people. It can very easily to be noticed that you are using new macbook or old macbook. People don't like this !!!!!!!!!!!
But iMac is for home use. People will not mind if its look has changed or completely change.
And.. if they changed the macbook to that .. then what happen to the black book.. ?? What would differentiate the two.. i personally don't think this will happen as previous posters have said.
It won't be mixed quite like that, but I can see one based on the new iMacs. However, it would look good, just like all other Apple products.
How do you know this? Do you have inside information? No? Then don't make blanket assertions.

Many notebooks now have at least built-in graphic card better than the lowest end "GMA950", such as GMA X3100, 6200 turbo, etc.
I have no inside information. But I can say next updated of macbook, would probably has a updated in built-in graphic card, such as GMA X3100.

Don't get me wrong I like my macbook but the resolution, graphics, etc are horrendous, i can sit it next to my imac on the same pages and the macbook just looks awful.
My macbooks destiny is to serve as an appletv server instead of appletv. I'll eventually get a macbookpro laptop mainly because everything looks so weak on it.
ohhh i donno. looks like overkill. it doesnt stand out as much. black isnt the way to go. all the other colours have been used though..
if they are going to use aluminum on the new MB, they should use black anodized aluminum, or any other color (kind of like the iPod). really, this "desgin" looks hideous, might be attractive to some people, but definitely not me. The kid in me thought about Cruella De Vil...
It seems Apple is straying from the white computers, and is going to black/aluminum so it sort of feels more likely Apple would just take the current MacBook, possibly make it thinner like the iMac, than put in a C2D 2.33GHZ or a low spec SR, GMA X3100, and than instead of white inner case, black outter case, they would but an aluminum inner case, glossy black outter case? It wouldn't look half bad.
I clicked on the picture to get a better look, and it still doesn't seem real to me. It looks like the screen is off kilter. I too think its been photoshopped.
In any case I'm glad that, hoax or not, I should be able to buy a normal Macbook soon without worrying about it being two-tone.

I hope you didn't think that was a real image
Anyhow, I just don't see Apple making their notebooks two-tone. Somehow, it'll be so...PC
how does that work?? the x1300 is nowhere near the performances standards of the 8600M.
