    No, I think it's a MacBook Air casing that's been photoshopped.

    There is no way a MacBook pro or regular Macbook would have the same "bezel" to "screen" ratio exactly the same as a the MBA. It's just an Air casing photoshopped.

    Yea right. That's why the September 9 event was a total bust because all the bloggers leaked what was coming before it was announced by Apple. Kevin Rose ( www.kevinrose.com) had pics of the new nano before anyone else.

    I think Apple is seriously leaking this information to build the anticipation and keep everyone cued to the net to find more leaks.

    Look closely, you'll see in the Area on the right of the "MacBook" has some serious blocking and shows evidence of the usage of Photoshopping tools(ie clone, marquee and heal brush).

    I'm with Best Buy, and my entire district has been out of most all MB/MBP models (some stores have a few left off odds and ends models) for about a week now.

    Wouldn't surprise me to see something soon.
