I wonder why they used such a dirty MB for the laptop example.

I know it's something minor, but just got me thinking.

That's weird. It does seem a bit dirty to me.

I don't really think it's dirty...or at least I don't see it.

Well whatever the shadow really is, it makes it look dirty. It's either that or my eyesight is terrible.

Well it might not be dirt - but that ain't new either.

They probably made the intern in the documentation department take the pictures with his own Macbook.

The little feet on my MB are kind of yellowish-grey-green. :\

I treat my MB like it's a child.

What's important was that it mattered to prpandey and he posted about it. Just like for some of us, Apple rumours are not important but for other members, they are.

Yes it matters to me. I didn't mean for it to be rumor, rather an observation. To me, it seems 'dirty', rather than purposefully shadowed. You would think when a company such as Apple would invest in documentation, they would use brand new, white MBs. That goes a long way when promoting your brand and the company's image.

So yes, it does matter to Apple. To me, not so much - I was just curious on other people's intake on the matter.

Apple rumours was just an example in my post. I could have posted:

Just like for some of us, Apple's iPhone is not important but for other members, it is.

Anyway, you get the idea, I'm sure. :D
