    Black PB's already exist, although the color isn't applied by Apple...I'm going to go with nice, but I doubt that it's real...

    Apple product shots don't have gradients, because they all use a screen with an actual picture:

    Oh god, I've been on these boards too long, I'm actually going to say:



    Look at the kerning on the real image and how it allows the top phrase to s-t-r-e-t-c-h past the power book images. Now look at the black PB mockup.



    Apple would never allow those words ("widescreen wonder") to appear so cramped, and end up sitting uncomfortably inside the the edges of the image.

    Hrmm, now that I see a mockup version of an i/powerbook with an iSight, it does raise the issue of the fat bezel needed to accommodate the lens. I wonder if apple would beef up the bottom bezel as well, to balance it out and reinforce the widescreenness of the screen...

    A glossy black powerbook would be a sexbox.

    It's the last piece of hardware you need to complete your Fembot

    Note to Apple: make this. An option between bare aluminum and black would be a very good thing.

    How thick is the lid on a powerbook? Now do you see why it won´t have a camera?

    There are already laptops with cameras built into the lid.



    It is not only possible, it's child's play from an engineering perspective.



    Eventaully, all laptops will sport cameras in the same way that they all have built in speakers. Whether it makes sense for apple to release them now? That's another story.

    Sure. But I ask again, what is the thickness of those lids?

    Yes the lids has the same thickness as a powerbook. One inch



    Please show me a laptop with a build in iSight quality camera and a lid thickness of 0.15-.2 inch and I´ll shut up

    that image is so fake looking! If they wanted to incorporate the iSight and keep the thickness down... it could pop up like a flash on a camera... or look at your phone if you have a video phone that lens is tiny....

    Teh sexy in Black.



    If the BLACK iPods are anything to go by...I'd like to see Apple extending that choice to the rest of it's lap and desk top range...
