Intel Ad Sparks Speculation of Next-Generation MacBook Pro Leak

The machine depicted in the ad is, however, pretty clearly a basic mockup of a generic notebook computer specifically intended to not be any particular machine or operating system currently available. The sleek designs offered by Apple are of course viewed by many as appealing, and thus even generic computer mockups for advertising purposes tend to have similarities to Apple's products.
