If that is the case, you're saying they are making the notebook keyboards larger? The Macbook keyboard is about as "full size" as they get, and the keyboard in the picture is clearly going edge to edge. It is just cleverly positioned behind him to show off the Macbook on 60 minutes.
Apple has confirmed to Tech Insider that the notebook pictured behind Apple general counsel Bruce Sewell during the 60 Minutes special Inside Apple is the 12-inch MacBook released in April, debunking some users on Reddit and social media who speculated the notebook could be an ultra-thin MacBook Pro.

The chances of Apple leaving an unreleased MacBook in plain sight for a national TV program were slim to begin with, especially in a room full of Apple's top executives. In a later segment, Apple even covered desks in its secretive design studio so that cameras could not capture what the company is working on next.
The rumor mill is also abuzz after a fake "iPhone 7" leaked video circulated on Chinese social media overnight. The exact source of the sketchy video is unknown, but it falsely depicts an alleged Foxconn employee handling a purported next-generation iPhone prototype that seemingly lacks a home button.
The staged video shows a metallic device with an Apple logo, but it is noticeably thicker than the iPhone 6s and includes regulatory markings that are questionable for such an early prototype. The prototype more closely resembles an HTC One M9 with thin bezels along the top and bottom of the screen.
Foxconn has been the source of iPhone leaks in the past, including the iPhone 6 rear shell and dimensions, but it is unlikely Apple has provided the supplier with an assembled "iPhone 7" prototype over nine months ahead of its expected release. No other physical components for the next-generation iPhone have leaked to date.

Anyone else feel happy at the reminder that it's probably only another 9 months till the iPhone 7...? I am starting to measure time and use a calendar based on the release of iPhones.
Does anyone really believe Apple, a company obsessive about being secretive, would have an unreleased product hanging around an executive conference room and would forget to remove it before CBS film crews showed up? The same Apple that had sheets covering up tables in the design studio so we couldn't see what was on them. Really?
But with a telephoto lens (which is likely used) it can compress the perspective considerably, giving the impression that it is closer in this shot. Then you add the screen being slanted back and the corners fuzzy from being, as you figured, 2m? from the "in focus" area, it is entirely possible it is just a 12" Macbook.
