These supposed shots of the tablet in the wild are definitely the best we’ve seen, although we still are pretty certain they’re fakes; feel free to pick your own nits about them in the comments. But what makes them worth checking out is that they look the most like what we’re expecting the device to look like than any render we’ve seen so far.
The story goes that a “friend” who may or may not work for Apple sent these to UI designer Dustin Curtis. Either that, or someone made these in Photoshop. Either way, they are pretty sexy, no? [Dustin Curtis via TechCrunch]

It LOOKS like a 17″. And the Express Port on the side looks convincing. However…
The current model 17″ MBP has 3 USB ports–In fact, just count holes…Magsafe, Ethernet, FW800, 3xUSB, DisplayPort, Audio In, Audio Out. 9 in total.
This thing is missing a USB. It only has 2. Only 8 holes total.
So, either..
The new 17″ MacBook has been stripped of a USB. But for what purpose? Save power? Not many people use 3 USB at once? Seems a bit strange, so what did they do to the 15″ only give it one USB? And again for what purpose? Battery concerns? Aesthetic issues?
OR…simply this is a Photoshop.
