UPDATED MACBOOK ICONS (STILL IN BLACK ( WORKING ON WHITE))
download version 1.2 from site (click on picture)
 
I didnt want to put highlights on the body and frame (though they are very very very vaguely textured) because i like the simplicity that these icons have.
 
iCloud, you do great work.... you should think about applying for a job at delicious monster.



And finally, Delicious Monster is officially looking for an artist who can do icons, interface elements, and, hopefully, gorgeous 3D renderings of real objects. Send your sample work (including a piece of furniture if you can do 3D -- is this a hint of something to come?) to me if you're interested.

Nice looking icons and picture (below). However, the MacBook's reflection is unrealistic. On the reflection, you shouldn't be able to see the keyboard surface of the laptop (circled in white).

I googled a Powerbook image from Apple. Notice how the reflection does not have the keyboard surface showing. It's more realistic and technically correct. Reflections in Photoshop are easy--it's just a matter of duplicating the object, flipping it vertically, and reducing its opacity. But it is these tiny details that will make or break your design(s).

If you don't wanna wait for Cloud.e's white Macbook icons, check this set out. It also includes nice icons that you can use for your XP or Vista partition too.
 
i know this is a really newbie question, but how do you use the icons. once i have them downloaded them, how do i apply them to stuff????

Click once on the icon you want to use, hit Apple-I, then click on the icon image in the window that appears, click on Apple-C to make a copy. Now go to the item that you want to apply the icon to, click on it once, hit Apple-I, then click on the icon image in the window that appears, and hit Apple-P. Voila!

HTH

I see the buttons reflected in the powerbook. you need to look a little closer;)
They cheated a little in the powerbook reflection by cutting out the area to the sides of the keyboard. If you look closely the keys are definitely still there.
