I would imagine its a fake but its done pretty well.



Not sure about the track pad thingy. Where do your wrists go?



What do you all think?

    Fake imo, doesn't look very Applish but it could just be the lighting. I was also under the impression that the new keyboard would be very similar to the new iMac keyboards.

    This is obviously fake. Besides the fact that the new notebook would have a flat, "white" keyboard, it just looks totally fake.

    I'd say no. Zooming in, I think I saw some tint inconsistencies... Then again, I may be making things up.

    The keys on the keyboard seem too high. Looks like they would hit the screen.



    The trackpad is certainly ripped off from the patent diagram.



    I seem to think Apple will adopt the new Macbook keyboard across all models now.



    Still, the picture would trick some junior grade rumor mongers.

    actually... for the first option, at my school (it used to be an old Ford factory) there is an elevator that is at least 20 feet square which has a guy's office in it... Off topic, but w/e



    I still say no, msantti's point seems valid now too.



    and he does have photoshop in his dock on the first computer...

    First impression was it could be.



    Then I noted the trackpad and the huge button in the lower part: it seams the one of my PowerBook G4.



    Finally I start looking at the Screen dimension compared to the one of the keyboard.



    I could be wrong (still some fever) but it seams to me that if you imagine to close the lid it is not big enough to fit the keyboard part.



    My point: in the image screen lid is shorter then the computer/keyboard part.

    Fake. But it is so entertaining with the humongous trackpad button.



    Yeah, Temporary Insanity.

    That's because the artist hadn't the faintest idea about perspective.

    The perspective actually looks glaring distorted.

    Even my 9 year old got this certain feeling that there might be

    something wrong in that picture. (Right, this is no evildence at all, but, ...)

    I just don't understand what the point of the gargantuan trackpad would be... typically the trackpad is similar in ratio to the screen.

    Interesting, but fake. Because your palms would always be pressing the trackpad button. Which is way too big anyway for anything Apple. Interesting fake though, I like the "secret cubicle" style of things.

    Conspiracy theory: Apple purposefully plants fake prototypes with various employees. To throw off everyone including all those in Apple campus.

    I think it looks a little like the titanium G4 PB.
