New MacBook Pro Casing?

news Add comments



In less than a week from now on, we will probably get some new MacBooks from Apple. Obviously, we may only get slightly refreshed hardware, without any special new features or a redesign of the casing, but I think we should all get ready for the new MacBook Pro casing, since the first spy shots already appeared, and things started to have a very interesting shape, as we're going to see right away...

First of all, a warning - the picture above could be of a Mac that's not going to arrive next week, or it could be a fake, so the new MacBook Pro casing could be quite different, after all. Since there are not enough images available to get the big picture, then there's still hope for our new MacBook Pro design to come true, so don't despair!
After all, we're talking about a rumor, for now, since basically this is all about a photo from a Chinese website that started to roll around the Web less than a day ago.

In this picture, the left-hand side of what seems to be the 15- or 17-inch new MacBook Pro shows a new speaker grill design, while the keyboard cutout matches the one already used by the MacBook Air. More than that, it seems the new MacBook Pro casing will feature a new port layout, without the FireWire 400 port and 28-pin DVI-I (Dual Link) ports, the latter being replaced with a mini-DVI port.

At last, it should also be noted that the new MacBook Pro casing seems to feature between "2000 and 3000 micro-perfed holes for the speakers," but I am sure best thing to do is wait just one more week and see the real thing showing up...if we get lucky to see the new MacBook Pro arriving on the 14th of this month, of course!

    Could you explain to me where in this picture you see a keyboard-cutout, a mini-DVI-Port, no firewire- and dvi-port and a speaker-grill???

    There was a larger picture available, but I only extracted this part. Sorry for the confusion! In the meantime, more pictures became available - check here - http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/10/09/notes_of_interest_on_recent_apple_macbook_case_leaks.html, for example.
