New macbook Pro

I surely hope so. What’s interesting to note in the photo (if it’s not faked) is the presence of the Dock within the trackpad area. What do you think? Is this Macbook Pro the real deal or fake?

While I can’t deny the idea of a screen beneath the trackpad sounds cool, I’m going to have to call fake on this one.
If you think about it, it flies in the face of everything Apple has created for the dock in Leopard: namely the 3D reflections, and stacks.
The angle of the Photo Booth shot, with regards to the iPhone camera supposedly taking the picture has also been called into question, as the photo of the laptop appears to be taken from a fairly low angle, and the iPhone is a higher angle.
I do believe this fake is fairly plausible, and is probably fairly close to what we will see when the updates are revealed.
Unless Apple is putting a touch screen in where the trackpad was, it’s a fake.
That was odd, I just had to read Kevin Smith’s post to check I hadn’t already posted on this and not realised.
I agree though, the picture is wrong, for many reasons but likely to be very similar to what comes, it’s not hard to predict what’s coming next with Apple now, if you look at each 12 month period of development they all have their own style. This year is much more sloped edges and rounded corners, much more glossiness on screens, everything much more flush and polished than in previous years. These design queues are all evident in the iPhone, iPod touch 2.0, MacBook Air, iPod nano.
Apple has been reluctant to embrace OLEDs so far and I don’t see that changing this year,
