Two-Tone MacBooks and a Questionable MacBook Video

Point taken. I edited my posting to admit it - consumers and creative-types are likely to "get" the lure of colorful computing. Just look at the rainbow iPod Nanos!
I don't have a creative bone in my body, so the colors don't work for me. But, even for a company like Apple trying to break into the enterprise, there is definitely room for two different lines - (1) sleek business and (2) colorful creative. Bring on the color! Would certainly make trips to the Apple store even more fun!
I agree that Apple needs to make the consumer and professional models more ascetically different. As you pointed out, different strokes for different folksappeal to as many styles as possible.
What's the policy on exchanging for a new model? A friend of mine only bought a macbook last week!Also do they usually get released straight away? Thanks.
I think its 15 days or something. There will be a restocking fee of 10%
I have only one thing to say: superfake. End of story.
Come on MR, really? This ridiculousness is front page? Definitely belongs on Page 2 with a silly video like that.

Yes, the video was seriously a waste of my time. I think the reasoning for putting it on page 1 was because of the escalating interest in MacBook rumors. MR doesn't always use Page 1 for only the most credible rumors, but also for rumors that will have lots of interest.
Yup. The (most likely fake) "MacBook" video furthers this possibility.
Or maybe the leaked "MacBook" case is actually the 13"/14" MacBook Pro case (or a high-end MacBook case). That would reconcile:
- The aluminum notebook on the invite
- Apple.pro's aluminum "MacBook" case
- 9 to 5 mac's assertion of large swaths of black on the MacBooks, which aren't on the above two points
- 9 to 5 mac's speculation that "the invite could be a 13 inch MacBook ...Pro."
- The 12 price points (sort of), as either the MacBook or the MacBook Pro line would likely have 4 or more (2 aluminum and black + 2 aluminum, 1 or 2 13"/14" + 2 15"/16" + 1 17"/18") models
Can the web sites that were 'proven wrong' be called out?
I sincerely hope that when the new MacBooks are unveiled on the 14th that the web sites proven wrong are very loudly called out for being so. They should rightly be attacked for their mis-information, while at the same time the web sites proven correct are applauded and identified.

I think they've all contributed to the fun mania that surrounds these events. I've been enjoying it myself.
I don't think the wrong sites should be attacked, they can be asses if they want to. Arn keeps track of what sites are right or wronghe usually posts track records before and/or after an event.
Good idea (although I wouldn't go that far), but it's possible Apple's plans have changed after a (correct at the time) rumor was announced. I'd expect the rumor site to release an update to that rumor then.
Of course Apple might make the change in plans even more secretive than the original plans.
speaking as a "creative type", that particular generation of mac computers looked like nothing more than expensive pieces of tupperware to me. they always have.
whoever designed those atrocious things needs to be slapped upside the head.
You will probably be surprised to know that that particular iBook line was very popular. It helped Apple regain credibility and revenue. In the late 90's, those things were much more stylish than the beige black POS's that were PCs. This style was also mimiced in one way or another by nearly every computer company.
It wouldn't surprise me at all. Could you imagine if most of the rumors turn out to be wrong? Most of us would crap ourselves stinky.
The whole thing is a frickin joke. Is it me, or has the round of rumors in the past week really seem random and perplexing?Long time lurker, first time poster.
While this is obviously a fake, it's pretty hilarious how fake it is.
They didn't even bother to properly line up the screen with the body
One side is sitting behind the body, the other is resting on top!

Oh, and the lid use the same hinge of the Macbook Air. With the recent leak of the macbook case we can assume the Macbook will have a the same L-hinge as the current models.
Fake
I looked at the video it is totally a MBA just with a changed logo on the front probably with digital video editing.
