Could his beautiful, svelte, and decidedly black laptop be the new Macbook Pro that should land in stores on or around the ides of March or early April?

Probably not, but a girl can dream. Why does it look fairly convincing? Well, as 9to5mac points out, Intel has leaked future MacBooks before and there is some evidence of new MacBooks in the pipe for Best Buy and others.

However, from the pixels and having seen a few Photoshops in my day, I suspect this is a placeholder laptop. The Air-like styling and black case are two huge red flags for me – they probably wouldn’t dump the styling during a routine update – and Intel couldn’t be that stupid, could they?
