    Since its a mockup, its hard for me to call (only one angle, etc.), like, would all the ports be flip doors now? And I do think the tapered edges are a little tapered :p, but otherwise, its a really nice concept! I like the sleek black!

    Hmm, what part of this design makes it get so much attention? Is there an another angle of this concept that I'm missing?

    I really prefer the current boxy design of the Macbook Pro.

    I love this design. I don't understand why people are complaining about it looking like the air! When the air came out everyone thought it was sweet looking but didn't have enough "under the hood". Now they're essentially offering the air with a LOT more "under the hood" and people get mad and complain about how it looks like the air. I just don't get it.

    i think many were blown away by sheer thinness of air. macbook air has its place and current more 'boxy' MBP has its place too. i personally wish they made it more like ENVY 133.

    no thank you sir. i still prefer the current MBP. that design is disaster. he didnt quite get the propotion right. if he draw a blown up version of MBA (with the wedge thin front) it might look better.

    NO tapered edges, seriously! Current, clean and simple, look is still appealing.
