Today, however, brings a supposed leaked shot of the new MacBook Pro casing. This is the computer thought to be built from a solid brick of aluminum using lasers and jets of water. Gadget blog Engadget published the picture earlier today, but it is said to originate from this Chinese web site.
[aditude-amp id="flyingcarpet" targeting='{"env":"staging","page_type":"article","post_id":98844,"post_type":"story","post_chan":"none","tags":null,"ai":false,"category":"none","all_categories":"social,","session":"D"}']There isn’t much in the picture, but those familiar with current MacBook Pros will recognize it as having several ports in different places. The speaker holes also appear to be much smaller (are they cut with freakin’ lasers?), and the whole thing does look to be a bit thinner. Also, the keys are clearly separated in a fashion that you can now find on the MacBook and MacBook Air lines, but not on the current MacBook Pros (which has the older, traditional keyboard). All of these are in line with previous rumors about the device.
It’s hard to tell if this is cut out of one piece of aluminum. It looks as if the side and top are two different pieces put together, as Engadget notes.
