Two-Tone MacBooks and a Questionable MacBook Video

Mystery solved.
Instead of moving the camera along the edge of the sides, they're rotating the camera up. Then the camera is carefully moving in as it passes over the machine's built-in camera and then panning down along the right-hand side rather than moving down the side.
It's carefully crafted distortion. I retract my previous statement; it's likely an Air.
I'm wondering why this video wasn't just disregarded as soon as MacRumors saw it. The video has no credibilty what so ever, according to pictures of the new MacBook casing, the power button is higher and more to the left. You can even see the thickness of the machine from the shadow it casts. the shape also consists to the same lines as the Air. Also, the "Air" text has just been covered over by a duplicate layer in After Effects or similar programme. If you look to the left also, check out the bottom of a MacBook Air case. It's a dissembled Air in the video covered by a piece of paper.Bloody stupid. their site should have no credibility from now on.
[sarcasm]I don't know about all this disbelief here. I'm will to bet there's a glass touch screen keyboard under that white paper.[/sarcasm]
C'mon, how can you think that this could have been an official spot from Apple....
I don't know if this is fake or not, but the fact that they are covering the keyboard and don't show a full capture of the machine is something that I can't justify.
I hope that apple does not make them two toned metal/plastic.
The video could be of a new macbook air casing?

I'm not too thrilled with the two tone idea either. For example, this is what happens when you mix aluminum and plastic:
A 2-tone Macbook would look like ****. Sorry. Aluminum and Plastic? No way would I buy that. I think the Taiwainese site is a bit more accurate here than 9to5.
that video is TOTALLY fake... i know because it is *I* who has the real new MacBook... behold!

9 to 5 got duped as well.
Of course this video is BS - but so is the "beauty meets beastly power" pictures on the 9 to 5 mac site. I think they've all got it wrong, and the Apple disinformation minister is the one winning right now.

Why do these people waste our time? honestly, it was just an altered video of a MBA.
I say you're ATTENTION WHORES!
EDIT: @ Darkroom- I want that MB! It has to be the most attractive computer that I have ever seen! Plus think abouit all of the technology that went into making the screen so thin!

when he show the trakpad, we do not see the front of the case. Since Macbooks are much largers at the borders we should see it.
The Apple.pro blogger was proven wrong in his claim that there wasn't going to be an Apple Event the 14th. He also claimed in the same text that he has a MBA.
He was wrong one time and had everything to fake the video. I call fake on the video.

well i wouldn't mind it being a duo tone laptop.
apple had that before with the orange clamshell ibook.
anyway, it could be done so that it looks quite cool and the wifi reception would be better than with a full alu casing.
i however think the pics of the alu casing were real and expect a fully alu MB.
the video here is totally fake i guess.

Well, it's a bit of a disappointment if it's not all aluminum, but I am sure that Apple will be able to make a two-tone that looks great.
However, from an environmental standpoint it's a letdown, recyclable aluminum is greener than plastic. I guess one can say that at least they'd be using aluminum for half of the laptop, though, which is still an improvement.

I agree. Its legit because its a real production MacBook from Apple.
Like I said before, they should have filmed the ports. They did not. If they did they would have proved that it is indeed an Air or not.
I love it...but.....no more iSight??!??!?!?!?!
Btw, I mean yours Darkroom not the fake one in the video!!
