Thumbed down by a bunch of serious Mac fanboys.

Was his signature not enough?

Hahahaha Awesome specs!

Yet another iPhone unfriendly blog posting. Do you people still actually use laptops for reading this stuff? Sheesh...

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | June 24, 2009 - 11:48pm

Is your smart phone still unable to play flash? Sheesh...

As we mac users always say:

I have to say that was an awesome video. Now i just have to complain about the headline, cuz the first look i get at the computer all i can think of is... Thats no macbook, let alone a new one... Anyways. Great job with that guys, I'm very impressed.

Eh, this just what happens when you install snow leopard. You thought it was a figure of speech when phil said it flies.

I've been avoiding this video all day long and you just tricked me into watching it. :(

Bob Willliams (not verified) | June 24, 2009 - 10:39pm

How'd dey do dat?

Bob Willliams (not verified) | June 25, 2009 - 12:42pm

just for asking how they did it. Not good for my self esteem. Go Apple.....and Ubuntu.

What is the notebook shown? It looks like an original PowerBook G4 (titanium), but they didn't have the IR port or webcam as shown. The unibody notebooks (inc. MacBook Air) are the only ones to have black keys, but they have the iMac-style screen, which is clearly not the case with this notebook. They're playing with our minds.

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | June 25, 2009 - 1:03am

Yeah, it's not a real Mac laptop at all, just a fictional one entirely.

The Titaniums had black keys, but the bezel on the video's model is WAY too thin, and the Titaniums didn't have iSight built-in either, since that wasn't a standard feature until the Intel switch or so. The video's model is also missing the telltale rim around the lower half of the case that the Titaniums had (the rim that was notorious for losing its paint over the years).

It's also not a MacBook or MacBook Pro, since, as you said, the screen isn't in the iMac style. Also, the bezel is still too think and the keyboard isn't correct.

Still, it just looks cool, and it looks like a Mac, and that's what matters.

Derry Quinn (not verified) | June 25, 2009 - 2:51am

Isn't it 17" MacBook Pro, with the Anti-Gloss Screen? The bezel on the New Anti-Gloss screen 17" is silver.

I just visited an apple store and how ironic, I saw this laptop there. It was unbelievable. I am lost tho

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | June 24, 2009 - 10:50pm

It's a French commercial from the post office website that you can print and send package from home
