Sorry if this is old, its the first I've seen it.

It looks like an apple advert for the new Powerbook - looks like its gonna be a sort of tablet machine where the screen folds back on itself to allow touchscreen pen writing (so thats what Inkwell comes in handy for)

Might be a fake, might be real who knows, judge for yourself.

Here's the URL:

Not very good quality but good enough to see what it is.

Sorry, I honesly thought it hadn't been posted - my mistake.

Does anyone think that there could be an ounce of truth in this or is it definitely fake?

It's a Sony touched up with Photoshop. There was a thread over at macrumors.com where some guy proved it basically -- showed a "before" and "after" image. The design is a spitting image -- no question.

Sorry, dude.

It's fake.

Usually, leaked pictures are of the machine itself and not copies of advertisements. Take, for example, what happened with the mirrored-doors Power Mac: the machine wrapped in plastic was photographed and posted on the Internet. They didn't have any product literature to post because it's kept secret until the machine is actually released.

I could be wrong but I thought there were leaked ads of the Cube just a day before release and also of the third generation iMac.
