Are these Apple’s new laptops?
Seems hard to believe, but stranger things have happened. Mac Rumors has posted a couple of images that reportedly depict upcoming revisions to the Macbook and Macbook Pro. The promotional images were gleaned from a live .Mac page, belonging to an individual with a valid @apple.com email address and iTunes account. Compelling case for legitimate images, or rumor-mongering at its worst? You be the judge. For what its worth, the new Macbook is supposedly made out of aluminum and have a multi-touch trackpad, while the new Macbook Pro looks to have a black MBA-like keypad, and a newly designed bezel surrounding the screen. The site also mentioned an upcoming iTunes 8 launch, identifying the software drop date as June 10th, which would make sense given the timing of this year’s WWDC. All told, we’re not entirely sure what to make of these shots, but WWDC isn’t too far off, and we imagine that the score will be settled by then.
UPDATE: Little shadiness going on…these images have been "debunked" but there looks like there is something to them.

No, this has been already proved as fake and just fan mock ups.
Even though I would love the macbook to look like that.

I can’t see Apple switching to an all aluminum line. Frankly, the aluminum presents a lot of problems with warping and heat that are just a pain. In many ways, the plastic Macbooks feel more solidly built. Also, wtf is with the black keyboard (even if these are fakes, its sill there on the MBA). Its just plain ugly…it looks unfinished.

Be it a fake or not, it probably will come true very soon.
