Look pretty real to me. There's that super-wide trackpad that was mentioned too.

See em here

(not sure if this is a Macbook or a Macbook Pro thread !)

...on second thoughts this is a 'Pro' thread because that machine has a 'pro' style keyboard.

I'm not sure what you'd want to do with a click button that is quite THAT large either.

It looks like a photochopped 12" PB.

...on third thoughts, I think it's fake.

I think Apple would more likely remove the trackpad button altogether than make it that large.

I like the look, but am I the only one who sees the left edge of the trackpad mis-aligned to the left edge of the 'book?

Looks like a pretty good Photoshop to me.

It has shaped keys rather then the flat keys. I suspect all the new notebooks will have the flat keys. It has to be a PS'ed PowerBook.

I could completely believe the form factor, but the ridiculously large track pad and button strongly suggests the picture is a fake. How could you even type on that without getting your wrists on the pad and button(s)?

Assuming it were real (which I actually don't believe) I'd be very disappointed. Much too fat. Take a look at how thick the screen is! Removing the optical to make the bottom case thinner is a great idea. But then leaving the top screen that thick? No thanks.
