Aluminum Macbook + New Macbook Pro Rumors

Click the image to open in full size.

On October 14th we expect the long awaited update to the Macbook line of laptops from Apple. For many months now an update has been expected to the Macbook line since the current design is getting a little old and outdated. One of the biggest complaints to the current line has been the plastic casing. The Macbook Pro is covered in nice aluminum along with the Macbook Air. According to AppleInsider people "in the know" have seen these new aluminum Macbooks in the wild finally allowing the Macbook to join the rest of the Apple laptop family with higher quality skin.

Also on the rumor table is the new Macbook Pro. If rumors are true there will be drastic changes between the current model and the newest version.
  • Glass touchpad with dock moved inside the touchpad rather than on the screen. This is complete rumor so far as no one can confirm if this feature is a go. Of course if you believe pictures nowhereelse.fr claims to have pictures of the new macbook pro.

  • In the picture above there also seem to be rounded corners reminiscent of the Macbook Air.
  • No more bulky 28-pin DVI-I (Dual Link) port. It will be replaced by a mini-DVI port like the one found on the current macbook.

If all of these rumors are true then it looks like an exciting October 14th. The question about what "The Brick" is has yet to be answered. Could it be the aluminum Macbook or a new Macbook Pro?

are you crazy? even if this is completely fake, the idea is simply brilliant. i mean really, can you imagine the implication of having an iphone interface in place of the touchpad???? every app would have interactive controls built onto the touchpad area. it would be pretty much the sweetest thing ever! lol and i'm sure these pics are shopped. but still. i can see apple going with an idea like this. it totally fits their current product line and marketing schemes. new macbooks are half macbook air and half iphone, complete with amazing innovative touch interface, putting them on the cutting edge of the technology industry (right where they like to be) and convincing all their computer minded consumers that might be looking past the iphone right now, to reconsider after experiencing what the touch interface does to their desktop (and vice versa, iphone users interested in apple computers for the first time because the interface and technology they know already is now part of it). Plus, they've been moving in this direction for a long time. first it was two finger scrolling trackpads, then the iphone came out, showing the full capabilities. then the air has some of the two finger gestures built into it for apps like iphoto and such, and now the macbook air styled new macbooks have the whole deal built right in. So, it matches apples product line up until now, AND it matches the future perfectly also: maybe we're not getting a macbook tablet yet. but what better transitional product than a macbook with a tablet style touchpad? it gets the programmers/developers AND the consumers thinking in the right direction and starting to think about all the things they could do if they had a mac tablet. then by next year the WHOLE world will be DROOLING over the thought... seems like the perfect stepping stone to me. **drools**


and you like the plastic casing? mine is breaking everywhere it possibly can.

Ugghh I hate when new Apple Products come out. It makes me feel so outdated, especially since I got my MacBook in April.
