Exhibit A: A simple, side by side comparison of both devices (via Business Insider).

Exhibit B: A close up of a recent YouTube ad, which features the Chromebook. It appears that Google forgot to remove the trademark Apple buttons in the top left hand corner. Oops.

Oh dear!

Innovation in the sense of Samsung.

Too true.

I received a Samsung Chromebook for testing/review yesterday. I use a MacPro 15" for my daily work and having them sit side by side, I immediately understood my initial reaction of 'cool' when I opened the chromebook box.

Where does it say that?

If it does then its simulated with the wrong OS

Themes can be added to Chrome to change the look. There is at least one Safari style option.

You can also see the OS X Lion full screen button on the top right. That does not appear to be just a theme. And if it really is then the question becomes "why use that specific theme in an official ad?" Are they really trying to make people think that this is a cheaper MacBook?
