Exhibit A: A simple, side by side comparison of both devices (via Business Insider).

Exhibit B: A close up of a recent YouTube ad, which features the Chromebook. It appears that Google forgot to remove the trademark Apple buttons in the top left hand corner. Oops.

Too true.

I received a Samsung Chromebook for testing/review yesterday. I use a MacPro 15" for my daily work and having them sit side by side, I immediately understood my initial reaction of 'cool' when I opened the chromebook box.

You can also see the OS X Lion full screen button on the top right. That does not appear to be just a theme. And if it really is then the question becomes "why use that specific theme in an official ad?" Are they really trying to make people think that this is a cheaper MacBook?
