Leaked Aluminum MacBook Case? [Updated]
Apple.pro has posted new photos (via Engadget) of what are claimed to be the new MacBook casings. Apple.pro was the Taiwanese blog that previously posted photographs of prototype MacBook Pro casings that were later believed to be real.
The latest collection of photos reportedly depict the upcoming MacBook revision which is expected in late September. The photos depict the top half of the MacBook's casing without any electronic components. The glow-in-the-dark Apple logo remains in place in these images. The case is made of aluminum and resembles the MacBook Air casing.
English translation provided by Ken:
From the picture below we can see that the MacBook has also entered the world of aluminum cases.
Along with its two big brothers it has changed to an aluminum case. Everyone can also pay attention to the corners. Right now Apple loves to do stuff like this. Everyone wants to know if the Apple logo on the cover lights up. The picture below should make this clear, without needing me to say much.
Of note, the case is almost identical to the MacBook Air casing.

We can't say for sure these are the real deal, but if recent leaks of iPhone 3G production models are any indication, we might just be looking at Apple's new MacBook. It's a bit hard to make out what's happening in these photos, but to our eyes we're seeing the back of a metal laptop lid, as well as the as-yet-unused inner panel of the display. The text clearly reads MacBook, which falls right in line with rumors that the next iteration of the smaller laptops would be aluminum just like their big brothers. Right now it's anyone's guess if these pics are legit or not -- but you can be sure we'll be keeping a close watch on this one. Two more shots after the break.
They look pretty legit to me!

I don't know, it looks just like my MBA with the "Air" 'shopped out.
I was just going to say that ...
Also, what's up with the Apple logo being misplaced on the lid?

Blah, just noticed that too...
I noticed this; though I don't know whether there is any significance.
When engadget posted the first picture of a supposed iphone 3g leak it was later exposed as being simply a cover for the old iPhone here..

Click on that link and then click on "Edit 2: You can buy the case from here."
You'll be taken to a site that is supposedly (or was) selling the 'case.'
This site is http://www.appleowner.com/index.php"
Recognise that? It's the site from the picture.
Now, either I fall short as a detective or there is something fishy going on here.
proof that "MacBook" isn't centered due to the missing word "Air"
Isn't the perspective off?
