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.
