NVIDIA's new promo has an interesting laptop on display.  Anyone seen this laptop before?  You know the drill.  If it is there in a day, it ain't it. 

Mac Soda's glass is always half full :D

There are 2 cd drives?

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | October 03, 2008 - 7:24am

Please let it be a MBP
Please please please please!!!

Where is the glass trackpad and isight?

9to5Mac Nooblet (not verified) | October 03, 2008 - 7:41am

Those keys look awwwwwwfully flat, just like a touch screen. Also, doesn't it look like dual slot load drives in the front?

oh come on... it's only a 3d model... it's just to picture a laptop and it doesn't have to be a model in particular. Don't start a fire with such a simple thing.

it's a mokup of an Apple Notebook because Apple Inc. owns a Pattent to place the Trackpad exaclty in the middle of the Notebook … as shown on this image! Therefore: it's a Apple Notebook - but obviously a 3D-Model…

Arent all track pads in the middle of the computer last time I checked?

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | October 03, 2008 - 7:57am

Since it's a quad core they thought we should get two drives. CD/DVD and Bluray

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | October 03, 2008 - 8:12am

Yeah, I've seen this laptop before - this that 'generic laptop' graphic all designers tend to use (they always look like MBPs). End of story.

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | October 03, 2008 - 9:05am

That's because they usually ARE MBP's (or even powerbooks), just with the Apple logo photoshopped away :)

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | October 03, 2008 - 8:12am

hmmmmm.....lets just hope that the new mac book lineup ends up looking something like this. Whats that glowing strip between the 2 cd drives like things?!?

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | October 03, 2008 - 8:22am

has anyone noticed that the background screen looks like the
green lazer thing which 9to5 have put under brick hummmmmm i wonder ?????

Watcher (not verified) | October 03, 2008 - 9:04am

It's green because Nvidia's color is green and the Nvidia logo is green, it's nothing related to the brick thing

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | October 03, 2008 - 10:02am

9 to 5 has claimed knowledge sources from nVidia about a product release prior to nVidia's posting of this image. yes, it was a green laser, and yes, green is nVidia's color, but 9 to 5 knew it was nVidia, and choose a green laser? This possibility is not far reaching.

The ipod nano images were never taken down yet it ended up being real.

admin | October 03, 2008 - 8:37am

um, no

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | October 03, 2008 - 10:12am

um, yea... http://9to5mac.com/4G-nano-spy-picts

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | October 03, 2008 - 8:37am

Nah... the green background seems more like an Nvidia themed image. Doubt they'd promote Apple's product in their AD.

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | October 03, 2008 - 9:24am

I also think it's just a made-up computer....

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | October 03, 2008 - 9:30am

This is very obviously a Photoshop mockup. end of story.

i cannot believe this jumped from ridiculous forum comment to front page. seriously, come on. you had your little tease last night.

jonnysword (not verified) | October 03, 2008 - 3:27pm

Must Be!!! Must Be!! Has to be!! Has to Be!!! oooooooooo!!!!!!

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | October 04, 2008 - 9:10pm

back glow from apple logo

Pokoleo (not verified) | October 07, 2008 - 5:28pm

But in the picture, it's uniform glow, not like a macbook, where it would just be in one spot.

BTW. count the buttons to the left of the space bar, it's the same number of keys of a current model keyboard on a macbook/macbook pro

9to5Mac slater (not verified) | October 04, 2008 - 11:47pm

That is the new MacBookPro. I saw that when i went into the future. Crazy they would leak it so soon. Maybe i should go back to the future and tell then what is going on back here...

Me (not verified) | October 05, 2008 - 6:10am

this is not a MBP, end of story.

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | October 05, 2008 - 10:03am

OMG - Heard from a very reliable source inside Apple, that they're actually going back to Motorola processors!

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | October 05, 2008 - 3:54pm

Gee... a generic laptop (majority vector / 3d seems to look like MBP's) and it gets mentioned on on blog... Oh, I have credible evidence that new MBP's won't be featuring Apple logo on the cover lid. This is true. I saw one like that on CSI . I'm sure since it was running 10.5 and everything... although it might have been 10.6 since there is no new features on 10.6 or although we have no clue what 10.6 looks like so therefore I'm sure it was new MBP running 10.7 Yes, it got to be... Sure...

the open button on the reflection does not match the open button on the base (directly under the trackpad). fake.
