Ultra-Portable Mac w/Multi-Touch [PIC]

This is a photograph posted over at MacRumors by a user which illustrates what the rumor mill has been busy buzzing about (going on for YEARS now). It does shoe a significantly thinner design sans an optical drive just as many are reporting. Take this picture like all other Apple rumor photographs - with a grain of salt. If this is a fake however, they did a good job of creating a realistic shadowing effect and at least didn't use the same screen as the MacBook Pro.

The item of most interest is the touch pad which is elongated - accounted for the easiest when seen in correlation with the multi-touch patents Apple has pushed through for their actual computer design and interface. With Macworld rushing towards us, it will be seen very soon as to whether or not Apple is actually introducing this little beauty to all the hungry fanboys.
