Leaked Photo of Sub-Notebook?

Fake. The thin-ness of the notebook is awfully sexy but yeah that long trackpad is heinous.

You guys are gonna eat your words shortly.

If this is real then the I can see the large trackpad really annoying me as the curser moves all over the screen while I type.

NumberzzEdit:

I doubt that that is it.

Agreed, the trackpad is kinda weird. But if it is actually real and does have multitouch, I bet that's where you'll be using it. Maybe soon we'll be "pinching" our trackpads to zoom (could work on existing trackpads with a system update?).

The multitouch thing makes me wonder if we'll be seeing notebooks with virtual keyboards soon (something like the Optimus Tactus?) And for those of you that don't like the idea of a virtual keyboard with no tactile feedback, I think I read somwhere that Apple has a patent for such a situation. Just imagine having quicklook on your keyboard.

That cannot be it for one simple reason, the mouse button is waaaay to long and stretches almost all the way across the top of the laptop leaving no room to rest your palms on. With no place to rest your palms it would not be ergonomic at all.

'SHOPPED!!!!11!!!!

NumberzzEdit:

Now that I know it won't be an issue, bring it on

numberzzz.... lolz... its alright to steal it... was reading up on macdailynews when i woke up anyway... lol... daily dose of news for me...

yeah, its been on engadget for about 12 hours already, not news here

NumberzzEdit: More like 6 1/2 hours....

This looks fake to me, still seems to large for an ultra portable. Would compete too much with their macbooks.

/me wants a 12" MacBook Pro badly

The laptop looks nice... but the trackpad look UGLY.. sorry, even if it is multitouch featured.. at least make it smaller so I can have my palm rest on actual palm rests.

You know, if you take a good look, both have exactly the same files(Just placed a bit down)

And exactly the same dock, in other word, it's edited from the one next to it

It looks really nice, but i don't beleave it

Looks real to me, the touchpad looks just like the apple patent.

This is fake.

Or how do you explain this:

The photo is taken in Sweden.

Look at the book in the background.

It's "Angles and Deamons" by Dan Brown.

In Swedish that is:

Änglar och Demoner

Just like on the book.

So tell me:

Would a Pre-copy leave California to go to Sweden just like that!?

Don't think so.

it's a fake.

you can see that the the desktop on the screen is just the same like on the MBP, just 2 icons moved to the bottom.

Also, the screen resolution wouldn't be that high...

That huge long trackpad and STILL only one button!

Eh??? same desktop?

Firstly the dock - Check out the two purplish icons to the right then count the number of icons to the right of those (presumably in the minimised window area)....different. Besides, if this were a pre-production model it would be perfectly conceivable that they would be installed with a common base OS image.

Desktop icons/wallpaper - see above.

The keyboard looks to be about the same size as the one on the 15" but with no speakers to the side. Taking this into account the trackpad looks to be about twice the width of the current trackpad. I think it looks huge becasue we're used to seeing it on a 15" MacBook Pro but probably isn't all that big in reality.

Sans optical drive and hard drive (these things are supposed to run on flash drives, yes?) the thin-ness of the laptop is also perfectly in the realm of posibility.

My view....not fake, however being pre-production it could well be not the final design. I imagine the keyboard will go the way of the MacBook and Al iMac keyboard as it seems that's the direction Apple are taking.

FAKE!!!!, a long button for a trackpad that is multitouch. It won't need any button first of all

I am not commenting on whether the pic is real or not, however, just because the book is in swedish, it does not mean the photo was taken in sweden, the book might be the import.

I don't think so. Apple's design team must have been on weed or some other narcotic to make such a long trackpad. Also, look carefully at those small details mentioned before........

Other than trackpad ,still deign would be close to this Most likely

The only fake there is te iPod

Fake! That trackpad and button looks so dumb... (or finally where getting a hardware right click)
