Zebra MacBook caught in the wild

278314846 5Afa324Df8 What do you get when you cross a black MacBook and a white MacBook? No, it’s not a gray, but zebra MacBook. This strange image from Flickr is created from a black MacBook having its keyboard replaced with a white one, due to a problem with the original keyboard and lack of a black one. Now if only Apple would sell MacBooks that looked like this!

Update: Yes, yes, it’s a MacBook, not a MacBook Pro as was originally stated. Nothing to see here; move along. -DM

Umm, isn't that a zebra Macbook, and not a Macbook Pro? Just thought I'd point that out?

Thanks Akurin, if you didn't state it, I was going to.

Zebras have black and white stripes, not a white middle and a black outside. Isn't this really an Oreo Macbook?

And isn't it a Oreo MacBook? Although MacBook Pro Oreo sounds kind of neat.

Yeah, I was confused at firs too. Although, anodized aluminum MacBook Pros would be amazing.

Just ordered a new one today. Although I'm still a little disappointed that the case wasn't further updated, it was still worth ordering.

I don't think we will see case revisions until next year: perhaps one more update then a case revision but this is all specalitive. I think they are great design and don't see how any improvement can be made. Thin as possible ports on the sides for easy access

I would like to see apple release a portablew external display. Basically a display that is as thin as the MBPs display and can be attached to the side of a MBP display and then plugged into the video port for power and video. Then when not in use just pack it up in a hardshell case or even a lid that snaps on.

I would love to be able to add extra screen space that way.
