What's this? A small new Mac?

[kabunaru]

So It's A Powerbook 12"!

That laptop in the picture is too thin to be a PowerBook G4 12".

This is a real ad. I got the same email. It does look smaller then the MBP, but I'm assuming thats because its a rendering.

Finally! Someone who agrees with me! It's not a PowerBook 12 and it's not a MBP. That's what got my attention right away. I want a 12-incher like that!!!

See? It's big and square and huge. It's not on that laptop. The dot you're pointing to is far too small and high to be an iSight.

Are you serious, or just trying to pull everyone's leg? Of course it's big and square and huge in the image you posted -- that image is from straight on. By your argument, it's not the same screen because the one in the ad is thin and diamond shaped whereas in your image it's large and rectangular-ish.

It just looks skinny because of depth perception. That is definitely a 15" MBP. Rendered, yes, but correct proportions.

looks like the 15" to me.

its definitely not the 12" powerbook. that had a mini DVI. The one pictured has a full size DVI port.

It's fake. Apple never sends out emails with a full telephone number. They always say 1-800-MY-APPLE.

i got the same e-mail

 

[hobbbz]

It's a scaled down MBP. As in Photoshopped. Look at the size of the DVI port. A full size DVI port is about 1.25 inches long in the image it looks about 1 inch long.

 

[rychencop]

looks just like my 15" MBP.

 

[j26]

The profile looks like a 15"

 

[kabunaru]

It also looks like a 15" PowerBook G4 to me.

no the powerbook would have little vents on the underside toward the front on the visible side

Thanks for the correction.
I guess it really has to be a 15" MacBook Pro then unless my eyes are playing tricks on me.

 

[MinorBidoh]

I read around the net that laptops' new form factor for screens will be 16.9 as aspossed to the 16.10 that we currently have?? so perhaps its a more rectangluar design we should be looking at for future MBs and MBPs...

 

[zflauaus]

Apparently you guys haven't seen the Mobile Me demo featured in the Picture Gallery section:

It's nothing more than a dummy model people. Move along.

 

[Shabbis]

It's not a powerbook 12" because of the two latches, the 12" only had one.

 

[Scarlet Fever]

It's a 12" G5 PowerBook

 

[ubercool]

I have to say that this thread is proving very educational with respect to ancient hardware! If they Photoshopped it down 90% as someone posits, couldn't that be the very wave of the future? I hope Apple seriously retunes the MacBook this fall.

Besides, in this economy only pure sex will sell!

 

[Tallest Skil]

It's a 12" G5 PowerBook

Go home, everyone, we have a winner. Mystery solved; nothing to see here.

[nintendude]

It's a 12" G5 PowerBook

i don't think one ever existed...

at least i don't think so

 

[jjahshik32]

That's a 15" mbp, looks slim from the side its just the angling, you can clearly see the power button and the speakers on the side.

it's a joke.

Haha, nothing like a case of positive thinking backed by mass-media delusions!
