On the older aluminium MacBook Pro, it used to blend into the chassis.
- 542458 5y agoAgreed. Maybe a slightly different manufacturing process that makes the fancy laser lancing impossible? Maybe they don’t have those machines anymore (IIRC there was only really one company making the equipment to do it)?
- FinalBriefing 5y agoYea, the pre-unibody Macbook Pro had invisible power and camera lights. No idea how they made the light go through a piece of seemingly solid metal. Always thought it was a cool effect and it's too bad they dropped it.
- frosted-flakes 5y agoNot invisible, just hard to spot. There were a bunch of tiny holes that let the light through.
