    If you can’t lead, you can only follow.

  2. There is only so much a manufacture can do to alter the design of a streamlined laptop. This is not a clone. Everything is a remix. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9ryPC8bxqE

      It so definately is a clone, HP is going for the full set, they had the ENVY series that is identical to a macbook pro, so only fguees they would have the air too. We’re moments away from a black cylider desktop PC. They will call it Mirage since it looks like a Mac Pro.

      That comment is complete BS. You can walk into any computer shop and see examples of ultrabooks that do not look like EXACT clones of the MBA (though admittedly, more and more often manufacturers are just getting lazy about this and copying Apple), or even some that offer a design that bears little resemblance to the MBA. Apple should sue, and would undoubtedly win over this one.
