New Macbook Pro Photos Leaked
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
It seems the long awaited Macbook Pro line is finally going to get an update! Browsing the Macrumors forum, I came across this picture, which was published on a Chinese Apple blog. A reader in the forums was kind enough to do a rough translation of the post.
*Comments in brackets are the translators personal notes.

Two days ago my good friend Ariel brought over two pictures.
These are the ones we have been eyeing for quite some time…They are very reliable plans.
If you think that the Macbook Air feels like a dustpan and not like a ‘pro’ machine, wait a bit.
This summer don’t participate in the ‘Back-to-School’ event, [I believe the gist of this sentence is to encourage the reader not to buy an MBP in the summer. The literal translation is: "this summer don't buy student-special-case". I just guessed that "student-special-case" is probably some promotion, i.e: Apple-Back-To-School. I dunno if they have that in Taiwan]
The newest Macbook Pro is coming out…The first small part I want to reveal to everyone is that
the Apple logo on the top case will no longer have a backlight.
Before, the ‘apple’ on the top case had a special glowing shine to it.
This recent version of the Apple Logo
is very similar to the Apple logo on everyone’s iPhone or iMac.
It’s not dazzling anymore.This time around, the outside of the MBP is very similar to the MBA and iPhone 3G:
They all have adopted new designs.
Therefore, professionals and [other types of people],
should stop making orders for MBPs. [I am not 100% about this line, it is an educated guess]
I wait for you to get your new MBPs and congratulate me [presumably, the blogger wants recognition for leaking this].Looking at the bottom casing of the prototype photographs,
you might think it’s strange that the measurements do not match up with the top casing.
This is intentional, because
the Macbook Pro’s battery this time around is a large, long shape. [rectangle(?)]
Not like the properly shaped square from before.
Regarding the keyboard, it is a very similar design to the MBA.Actually, I think that the new MBP is not surprisingly gorgeous.
If you still want to know more predictions and details, (such as front side plans)
remember that other than reading offical Apple news,
you should also frequently read my unprofessional [I think he means that he's not getting paid for it, so, 'unofficial' would probably be a better word choice] blog.

I hope you didn’t pay for your post on John Chow’s site? If so then you got hustled by the biggest money blog around. You have a post on his site, with links to your site. But you have no comments. Why?
It comes down to content. You have about 4 posts. The first thing they are going to do is leave because they can see it is a new site. Also your adsense ads should blend in with the site, and probably be around where the users read. The right hand side screams ads, and probably won’t make you much money there. You also just simply need to make a lot more posts. Include some affiliate links and such in some of your posts. Post things useful to get people talking. I would say not to pay for a review or anything until you have at least 100 posts.
Just trying to help you out. And just saying, if you paid for a review on John Chow’s site, then you wasted your money. It would have work it you had a lot more content. But your site just wasn’t ready yet.

Thanks for your concerns but I didn’t pay to post on John’s blog. We’re friends and I just helped him out with a few posts.
I am well aware how to run a blog, I have had some previous experience.
The adsense is there because I actually like the look of it on a blog, I know it won’t make me any money.
Feel free to drop by anytime, there’s a new design in the making and I will start posting more regularly soon.
