Is This the MacBook Air? (Verdict: Most Plausible Yet)

airbook2.jpgWired’s Apple insider (heh) says it is. Their rendering is super skinny and shaped like a teardrop when it’s closed, bulging at the hinge and tapering down to the edge. Ethernet ports are jettisoned in favour of wireless only—the most sensible explanation for the “Air” moniker yet. Aluminum casing, ultra-thin, all wireless—all reasonable given what’s come out. The much less likely bit is that the screen itself is multi-touch—trackpad, maybe—but obviously we’ll see tomorrow. And a full-frontal:

    This looks like concept artwork to me, this may not represent the final product. Even if it is real.

    Apple have also been known to leak incorrect information to throw people off, this may be the case here.

    Read the linked post, it clearly states that it’s a photoshop mockup.
