Huh?! Where did this tirate come from? I see nothing in the article about glossy screens. Since the MBPS have had the option for either since their inception, and there are plenty of graphic designers that will not use a glossy screen it seems to be a safe bet that Apple will continue offering matte in the future.
Not to get too nitpicky, but the original MacBook Pro did not have the option of a glossy display. They came in matte only. It was after the MacBook debuted with a glossy display that Apple started offering it as an option with the MacBook Pro.

Well we have no option on the iMac anymore except glare-filled glossy. Unless you work in a pitch black environment -it's a problem. I remember for the original iMac G3s - Scotch 3M sold attachable antiglare screens for this very reason. You are constantly shifting to avoid glare.
I took that image and made it the same size as the Macbook Pro image from this rumor. As you can see in my attachments they are pretty much the same with one exception. The screen. But, I the I took a look at the aspect on the screen on the rumored macbook pro and realized it wasn?t 16:10 witch it always is on laptops.
They aren't always. The original Apple widescreen notebook had a 1.5:1 ratio. I think some of the G4 powerbooks had some less usual ratios.
Man, I hope they don't use the Air's keyboard. I hate that chicklet keyboard. Who thinks this is a good idea? Have you tried doing serious typing on it? Hate it.
Jesus you guys have a poor grasp of the english language; "mockups" are NOT, and CANNOT be the "real deal" sort of by definition. It's a Mockup. highlight that word and look it up on your snazzy in-line OS X dictionary people! Of COURSE these are FAKE, all mockups ARE!
Now whether or not they're mockups apple would base their product lineup on is a different question. I tend to believe that they are mere products of someone's imagination rather than Apple-branded mockups.

I prefer the chicklet keyboard. It's much better than my PB keyboard of yore.

A poor grasp of language can also mean reading comprehension. I am fairly certain that everyone else who read the word "mockup" on this thread read it as "mockup by Apple as the next likely design for their MB/MBP line". Otherwise there would be no story here. The article also mentions a .Mac account, which is easily had, and an @apple.com address, which is not easily had, which gives very minor credibility to this story.
It casual settings we tend to omit words to help with the flow of conversations because writing in a Vulcanized, legalize type format is dull and difficult, even though it is more thorough.
As somebody pointed out, the aspect ratio of the screen is off and the size of the keyboard implies that the mock-up is not a 13" screen - they're fake.

I vastly prefer the MBA keyboard to any MB or MBP keyboard. I type on it all the time,
at blinding speeds. I have no problems with it. (Yes, I've used the others also.)

Of course, but the description also claims they're from an Apple employee. Which is pure B.S.
look at the outside radius of the pro's monitor. Now look at the shaded portion of the radius of the body of the laptop. The monitor radius is shown to be larger than the bottom part of the shell.

cheap, tacky imitations... one even looks like a Dell
Well the current iMac looks like a Dell especially from the rear.
This is clearly a fake!

They usually are just some fan's fantasy. The times that you know they probably aren't is if Apple legal demands the picture be withdrawn.

To each their own, I guess.

I agree, it's leaps and bounds better in every respect.

Love it.

They were, though, found on a .Mac site that contained legitimate login/password information for an @apple.com iTunes account.

I love chiclets. The keyboard is great too.
They stole one of the mock-ups (from Adokimus) and slapped a bleedin' "Tiger" desktop on it. A lousy fake at best - very surprised AI took the bait.
Why would you be surprised?
