Apple.pro and AppleOwner.com have posted a video claiming to show Apple’s next-gen aluminum MacBook that’s widely expected to be unveiled (anticlimactically) by Apple CEO Steve Jobs next Tuesday, October 14th.

The video shows an aluminum MacBook with a large trackpad (like MacBook Air) and a screen with a rather wide bezel.

See the video here.

The other thing that is questionable is that the laptop in the video has very rounded corners but the one in the email invite doesn’t. The hinged edge also makes it look like the thickness tapers, unlike the Aluminum case photos we have seen.

If I ever meet the guy who did that joke of a video, I will punch him in the face.

Why not show the keyboard if it is the real thing. Lame.

It’s already gone. Anyone want to post it somewhere else from the browser cache so the rest of us can talk about how crappy it is?

I want to know what that metal thing that looks like some kind of grill was. Seemed like it was still wrapped in styro type wrapping. Perhaps that was the brick?

It is just sitting on a MacBook Air

FAKE

Hmmm. I call prototype. When I first saw it, I thought “MacBook Air” instantly. BUT… the word MacBook is in the centre of the bottom bezel, the screen is WXVGA high-gloss (unlike the current ones) and grill shown was a component half out of the packaging. The video was taken by a man in a white shirt who had the same shoulder width as the man who took the rumored photo of the MacBook Pro with the black bezel. And the white object below was not a MacBook as it had no finger catch or indent where there should’ve been one, and it was tapered. This is a poor-quality video shot from a video headset like the extreme action headsets for mountain bikes (etc.) – these things lead me to believe this was genuine but isn’t any more – a prototype.

The grill bit you see briefly on the one side looks *exactly* like the bottom of the MacBook Air. So if a MacBook Air was in fact disassembled for this video that would make sense. Also the fit and finish is really atrocious on the sides/corners, far worse than anything Apple would let out of the factory. So this has to be either a prototype, or a fake made out of various bits of MacBook Air.

That being said, it’s a fair assumption that the new MacBooks will take cues from the MacBook Air as they are already distinguished from the Pros by virtue of their more rounded shape. So whatever they end up being, it’s likely that they will, when opened, look very similar to this MacBook Air looking thing anyway, albeit perhaps with a glass screen with the black border a la iPhone, iMac etc.

I just bought a new macbook about a month ago and I got a free ipod touch with it, I love my macbook but I hope they don’t come out with a new one anytime soon. also, my ipod keeps coming to this white blank screen and I have to hold down the top button and it restarts do you think if I take it to the apple store they’ll do somethning?

bezel is too big, and its not revolutionary looking…

its not it

the new one will be macbookair esc.. and who knows if we will see the multitouch screen implemented… Apple needs to stop being afraid of taking market share away from itself and release MORE SHIT!

we want to touch the screen.. and you can keep the keyboard.. 8.9″ display sounds just fine thanks!
