Video of Aluminum MacBook? Probably not.

While this video may indeed provide an idea of what the new MacBook will look like, it is most definitely an attempt to drum up traffic. The video depicts a MacBook Air with a piece of paper covering the keyboard and a chunk taken out of the front; whether this was done in post production or is actually missing is unclear. The biggest giveaway here is the bottom of the MacBook Air lying upside down next to it.

The camerawork is typically unrevealing, staying in close, and focusing and unfocusing quickly. Were the camera to pan back, it would become even clearer that the “MacBook” is simply a MacBook Air with the “Air” disguised in post production.

Leaked MacBook, MacBook Pro images real; $800 laptop?

AppleInsider is saying that a source confirms the leaked MacBook Pro casing images as real, as well as the newly leaked MacBook casing images. Meanwhile, The Inquisitr claims to have seen a price sheet for the new MacBook/Pro line that has 12 price points ranging from $800 to over $3,000.

The MacBook Pro trackpad case image that surfaced a couple days ago, as well as the new MacBook trackpad case images that showed up yesterday, have been confirmed as geniune by an AppleInsider source. This in no way means anything is 100% right; however, the pattern dictating that something which is not clearly fake this close to the event date, is consistent with rumors, and is confirmed by a source is often genuine.
