Hate to break it to you but it was a misprint
The most recent 'vert is Misprint, which points to a recent PC World review that says "the MacBook Pro outperformed the rest of the notebooks we tested, all of which claim Windows as their primary ? nay, their only ? operating system." In the ad, Mr. PC howls that this is a "serious misprint!"

The MacBook Pro is not the fastest laptop they tested.

The MacBook Pro only rated an 88 on the benchmark while the Eurocom rated a 97. The hilarious thing about this is that Apple was trying to create a spoof commercial when, in fact, this one was probably the most factually correct commercial they've ever released! It WAS a misprint!
