Mac4Ever posts these photos that appear to be marketing materials for the new MacBook Pros, with a partial image of the notebook itself:


Finally, this image claiming to show a Thunderbolt port, which looks a lot like a DisplayPort. We're not sure of the original source of this image:


Update: We've confirmed that these images are legitimate. This is of the low-end 13" MacBook Pro, so it's possible that the higher-end model will have different features.

Why on earth would someone only shoot a picture from the edge of the new MBP if he has it right infront of him??
I just dont get it.


Because it looks exactly the same otherwise.

Is is a defect in the photo or is there a new small pin on the left USB-port too?

So the question is, will the LightPeak standard connector look like the mDP connector, or will you need an mDP -> LP adapter for anything other than a display?

Is is a defect in the photo or is there a new small pin on the left USB-port too?


When you look closer, it looks like the photo has been "cut" diagonally through the left USB-port... Maybe fake?

If these machines really have a Light Peak port, that will be a huge game changer.

if this is the thunderbolt then what has happened to the mini display port?

Apple has been moving to keeping the I/O on one side for smaller laptops, USB on Air excluded, so I cant see them putting the display on the other side.

although I would love if this is true!!
