Hi guys,
anyone of you knows where I can find technical drawings / blueprint of MacBook Air? I'm planning to design a new carrying case and having this drawings would help a lot.

Thank you in advance

Is this for real? Go to place where you can find all the secrets of the US Government.

Who in the right mind would ask this?!

Someone who's trying to design a case. I thought his question was pretty clear. It's not like he asked for source code or prototypes or something.

Davidino, you may want to contact Apple about this sort of thing, especially if you are going to be producing cases to sell. They should be able to provide you with the dimensions you're looking for.

Thank you Clayj, I was thinking at that solution too.
In the ADC site there is plenty of design notes for OSX but no mention about technical drawings.

I have to admit this was my initial reaction too. Technical drawings? Blueprints? You're going to redesign the Air? ...Ohhh, you want to build a carrying case.

well, if you can't get them, i'm sure you can still design a case. I'm sure the manila mac makers just used the dimensions on the Apple website...And apparently, the interoffice people messed up the dimensions of their case. I also hope you're not just trying to knock off an existing case. I'd like to see a leather, more professional one, if possible. Good luck!

No, it's something completely new. And I think that could be a really interesting one. Stay tuned!! ;-)
