Same way every single PC builder to one extent or other made brightly colored semi-transparent things well into the new millennium. And white opaque things after that. Knock it off, make it cheap, stack it high.

I am amazed to see there aren't any intel or microsoft stickers on it, though, for many years the horrid mainstay of PC laptops.

After we bought 2 laptops from HP, and they broke 4 times I'll never buy them again. Complete pieces of crap.

Good luck with yours though.

Its a joke! That thing isn't even trying to be original, it is a straight copy.

Apple obviously know its going to happen, but don't they have some recourse?? It is identical?

Just different enough cosmetically to avoid the lawyers.

It's been an on-going joke that Apple more or less dictates the look and feel of PCs 5-6 years in advance. I believe the official stance is that so long as nothing is actively being infringed upon, they don't care, as by the time the PC world releases a Mac knockoff, they're on to the next thing already.
