Leaked Spy-Shot: MacBook Pro Casing Photo Arrives From China

MacRumors is reporting that a trademark fuzzy spy-shot (above) originated on a Chinese website with claims of the image being a leaked capture of the new MacBook Pro casing. Though the image is a mere shell of the actual device, it does point to a keyboard design that closely resembles that of the MacBook Air which boasts beautifully backlit keys which are black and very light to-the-touch.

Our friends at the wildly popular MacBlogz have rendered a mock-up pointing to a possible design aesthetic for Apple's refreshed MacBook Pro line of laptop computers. The MacBlogz team have also attempted to confirm keyboard speculation.

"We have spoken with a connected source close to us, and they tell us that the Macbook Pro will,'100% have a Macbook Air-like keyboard. Feeling more like the Macbook’s current keyboard, yet offering backlight'.' We also asked if they could confirm a launch date, to no avail." According to MacBlogz

After consulting our official guide for determining the authenticity of a "leaked spy-shot" image, we have concluded that the MacBook Pro photo at the center of this "Brick" related rumor is certified authentic. Though we also found a photo at the same Chinese website of a bikini clad hottie, so we took the liberty of certifying it authentic as well. Next!
