NVIDIA promo mystery machine

Fri, 10/03/2008 - 7:09am — Quincy Pince-Nez

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

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.

well, it's a mokup of an Apple Notebook because…

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?

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

Yeah, I've seen this laptop

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.

That's because they usually

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

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

It's green because Nvidia's

Fri, 10/03/2008 - 9:04am — Watcher (not verified)

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

nVidia Referenced in Laser Picture

Fri, 10/03/2008 - 10:02am — 9to5Mac Noob (not verified)

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

Nah... the green background

Fri, 10/03/2008 - 8:37am — 9to5Mac Noob (not verified)

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

Tue, 10/07/2008 - 5:28pm — Pokoleo (not verified)

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

Oh My God!!!

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...

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

Gee... a generic laptop

Sun, 10/05/2008 - 3:54pm — 9to5Mac Noob (not verified)

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...
