After much speculation about what the Apple Brick actually is, after the Apple Notebook Event on October 14, 2008, the "Brick" has been revealed to be a manufacturing process that began with the MacBook Air that is now being applied to the MacBook and MacBook Pro models. The manufacturing process involves creating a large slab of aluminum out of which the case for the laptop is carved, taking away metal rather than adding it. This allows for a lighter, stronger case. The case for the MacBook Air starts with a 2.5 pound block of aluminum and is reduced to a quarter of a pound.MacWorld: Live Update: Apple’s Notebook Event (October 14, 1008)
