Intel Ad Sparks Speculation of Next-Generation MacBook Pro Leak

[Jaimi]

The screen of that laptop in the ad is 253x151, which is an aspect ratio of 1.67. That is neither 16:10 (1.60) nor 16:9 (1.78), so it has to be a rendering.

While likely a render, Since there is no way for you to measure the partial pixels (there is no one-to-one between reality and pixels), this math makes no sense. An edge pixel represents an unknown quantity of screen and lid.

In order to take into account partial pixels, we can increase/decrease the width and height by 2 (1 for each edge).

So instead of 253x151 like I posted, it could be as narrow as 251x153 (1.64) or as wide as 255x149 (1.71). Those aspect ratios still aren't either 16:10 or 16:9.

Just might bust out that credit card...

Apple’s “next generation of notebooks” have fast solid-state storage drives (flash storage) placed right on the motherboard, higher-resolution displays, bigger batteries, thinner and lighter designs, faster graphics, more connectivity options, and speedy processors.

Those are many of my favorite things!

All right. There's no way I'm wrong on this one so there's no purpose in denouncing this post. What you're seeing on Intel's website is not a computer, it's a polymorphic alien that has infiltrated our considerably defended intertubes (the funding for which accounts for approximately 7/19ths of the U.S. defense budget). I'm currently unaware of its intentions but I took the liberty of naming it "iV".

I can keep everyone here updated as long as they give me the following information and documents:

Full name
Phone number
Email
House address (in case "iV" closes the internet and phones)
Credit Card Number (I'll be purchasing gold and goats in the event of an apocalypse)
Pet names
Preferred web browser
Birth certificate
Letter of recommendation

Best explanation in this thread IMO.

Seems like you did ignore the "transport controls" part of the screen. I get about 253x161 (1.57). Still, it's probably just a photoshop mockup.

It just looks like a generic laptop to me.

Ha, too thin to be a regular windows laptop

This is the real deal, folks.

You're a wild guess. Backing up wild assumptions takes time and effort, which I tend to conserve.

We'll see what the score is 3/1. I'll meet you back here then.
