While initial skepticism was high, the panel ultimately leaned towards believing the leak is genuine. Jason Snell pointed out that the leak's mundane nature actually lends it credibility: "If you were going to fake it, you'd make it more interesting."

It's powered by a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, suggesting robust performance capabilities. The device retains its 14-inch screen and comes equipped with three Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI port, MagSafe 3 for charging, and a headphone jack. Perhaps most intriguingly, the space black color option, previously reserved for higher-end configurations, will now be available for the base model.
