Special Macbook Air???

[themightyspitz]

Took a snapshot from the guided tour of Mobile Me, and our favorite Mac rep John demonstrates how Mobile Me works.

But look at his Macbook Air. It has no built-in iSight?!

Maybe I'm crazy. Watch for yourself:

I think it's just a display model. Look at how bright it is especially at that angle! My LED MBP doesn't look that good at a similar angle. Also, when he goes to the Air ... he barely touches it and they switch to the OS X screen grab.

Thats a 3G iPhone and yeah no iSight.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was just a prop MBA.

And a piece of paper is probably used for the screen.

Yeah agreed that screen looks so much like a piece of paper.... Thanks fort the falseness Apple

My MBA gets that viewing angle.. but not the brightness.. and good eye. No iSight, interesting.

in professional video production such as this just about everything is fake, propped or manipulated. Thing about those commercials of pizza hut pizza with the cheese all gooey and glowing and tomato sauce all red. They melt the cheese first then put thawed uncooked pepperonis sprayed with oil on top so the cheese doesn;t melt and cover them. Smoke and mirrors. i do it everyday at work.

Cool! Any other stories? (not sarcastic). I saw a show once about this stuff and apparently they put lipstick on strawberries in commercials, lol.

And to the OP - GOOD EYE!

I think I heard somewhere that the milk they use in cereal commercials / box art is actually shampoo.

I found the same odd MacBook Air, sans iSight and with a brighter screen, on the Apple Retail Store website.

It's right under "We're Here to Help" and next to "Everything Apple"

yet another good eye....

Maybe they're really Powerbook G5s

 

[Mike Teezie]

The screen brightness doesn't surprise me, as I'm sure they just punched it up in Photoshop.

But the lack of iSight is odd. The 3G iPhone is terribly interesting. What is it doing there? That shot is from months ago.

Nah, it's the MobileMe tour, thing. They just used the same guy (Jon)

 

[tsice19]

It's probably no big deal...

I doubt it's even an actually MBA, but a prop they use for pics and videos.

 

[Abstract]

It's Apple's brand new MBA with features taken away.

Ha yeah. It's next years model. They're gonna charge you more for the iSight like they did with the Apple Remotes on laptops.

 

[Garemz]

Of course it's a prop the MBA is the worst computer I have ever bought, they don't want the core to overheat and shut down during the making of the commercial!!!!

Nope, white paint with a little thinner

 

[iJesus]

Hey! Check out the MacBook Pro in this e-mail I got!

 

[phiberglass]

Crazy!

 

[pilotError]

The photoshop guy probably thought that little black spot on the screen needed to be cleaned up a bit
