Earlier this week I raved about the slick iPod nano mock-up I discovered by designer Miguel Suárez, causing an instant puddle of drool for a multitude of Mac heads. I believe Miguel has done it again dreaming out loud with his MacBook Pro concept design only weeks before Apple unveils its official laptop refresh.
Miguel's mock-up borrows design cues from Apple's ultra-thin Macbook Air with the addition of a coveted front loading superdrive and glass multi-touch trackpad. The black aluminum interior finish delivers an epic flair to his clamshell styling and perfectly rounded corners. The mock-up hints at an aluminum exterior housing with a jet black interior. I like it!
Though this MacBook Pro vision does not drift too far from the Air's aesthetic, it still makes me want to get up close and personal for some heavy petting. I've never been a huge fan of black Mac products until iPhone 3G, now I'm hooked. Miguel makes it easy to lust after the dark side with his well thought out Mac designs. Once you go black...

Off to check out the black Macally cases. Thanks!

I've got my white MacBook encased in a black Macally faux leather case for protection and it has attracted quite a few admiring comments. Go for it!

You can have it now. I purchased a Case-Mate black leather "Signature Suit" for my 15" MacBook Pro about six months ago, and while it adds some noticeable weight to the notebook, it allowed me to do away with the foam insert in my laptop bag, and also, it looks awesome.
