Edit: Appears just to be a MacBook/PowerBook product box
 
...

umm...wow I can't believe it...it's a f***ing box...
:eek:
haha j/k I don't know..but it is probably an Apple Product box, they are mostly black (for pro stuff, white for Macbooks/iMacs)
 
Looks like an Apple sticker on something. That is just what the stickers that come with every mac look like. Just a guess.
 
it looks like one of those folder things that comes with final cut studio...
(what a crappy set up :p )
 
I think MacBook/PowerBook box is right answer.

I think it's a pro box, a pro app large enough to have a box with a pull out carton...I think my Final Cut 4 box looked like that once you took the sleeve off, but I don't have it anymore.

I agree, but you'd think you'd be able to see something on the left side of it.

Here is the correct angle for the PowerBook box:

Could be an iPod of some sort, but the box in the picture seems a lot bigger than an iPod box would be.
 
im going to go with a powerbook. Definatly not an ipod and the macbook pro box i s way to thin, as wild cowboy pointed out

Agreed, and on the original picture the apple is lower.

And it's far too thin to ba a Powerbook box, right? And the pictuered computer is a MBP.

Yes, we agree that the computer is an MBP, but the box is too thin to be an MBP box. I strongly suspect that it is a PB box. Most of the pics I've found that show the depth of the PB box are for the 12" model, but saw a couple for the 15" as well. They do seem a bit thick compared to the one in the John Mayer pic, but that could just be an illusion from the angle of the pic. The other possibility is if the 17" PB box was slightly thinner, which could be possible since the larger computer would allow the accessories to be spread out more in the box...but I didn't see any pics clearly marked as a 17" PB box. Does anyone have one who can confirm?
 
Lok at the picture closely. It's glossy, but also has a crease in it. The boxes aren't glossy, are they?

Is it even a box? I know that sounds somewhat farfetched and unorthodox, but who knows?

My conclusion:
Too thick to be an iPod box,

The "Apple" is too low to be a MBP box,

Far too small to be a Mac Pro box,

And it's too thin to be a Powerbook box.

Regardless of angle to all of the above.

i dont think it's mac box... it's on the table, and has such a low apple logo... i was thinking 'bout ipod box, but the apple on the ipod box is shiny

it's definitely not mac pro, macbook, macbook pro, nor powermac... i mean

whats that white thing in front of it,

(is the object even on the table?)

what about the apple's ipod speaker, wifi or whatever its called...

Exactly what I'm saying.

Dare I say it... New apple product? ;) :p
 
Meh...I'm still convinced it's a PB box, possibly a 17-incher. :D
 
i still think its a folder thingy like in fincal cut studio... on the other side the long side has an apple logo on it

Hi-Fi's have white boxes, and are MUCH bigger than that.
