Apple forces manufacturers to stop making Zenbooks...

[Kenmitch]

Just another reason to not endorse Apples behavior by not purchasing their products.

Link?

😵 Does Google search not work on Macs? Theres a ton of G5 clone cases out there.

Any from Dell, HP, or any other computer manufacture?

Do Dell, HP, or any other computer manufacture sell cases?

So you're saying the Zenbook is a laptop shell? 😵

 

[WelshBloke]

Hell, look at some PC hardware cases. You can make them look exactly like a Mac. Design is design, especially when said designs have been introduced well before Apple adopted them.

Link?

😵 You're doing this on purpose aren't you?

So we're now saying Apple sells just computer cases? 😕

Are you?

Someone said you could buy PC cases like Mac cases.

You asked for a link.

I pointed out you could Google it.

You are frantically flailing around either acting stupid or being stupid.

 

[alfa147x]

So you have no argument but you continue to trash this thread. You seem very much like a troll.

You have yet to link to any supporting material. Nothing of substance has been posted by you. Your argument is falling apart.

Are you having a breakdown?

I'm not arguing, I'm just telling you to Google if you don't believe there are PC cases that look like G5 cases.


Protip. Not everyone that disagrees with you in a thread is the same person.

So you're agreeing with Apple for shutting down Zenbooks?

 

[alfa147x]

I'm struggling to see what G5 style cases on Google have to do with MBAs and Zenbooks

So why did you ask for a link then?

 

[WelshBloke]

No I'm just pointing out that going "link?" every time someone posts something is daft. Somethings are just easier to Google for yourself.

 

[alfa147x]

So why did you ask for a link then?

I misread your post I thought you were referring to another computer that looked like a mac.

I still don't understand your who case thing. Asking for a link is like asking for a source. You can make bullshit up all day but with no source your just bullshitting.

 

[alfa147x]

How? If that person has a source that can back them up then why not post it?

Do you do that in normal conversation?

Would you make your friends bring reference books to the bar when they go out for a few drinks with you?

It wasn't a particularly contentious statement that you can get G5 clone cases, its not like he was trying to overthrow years of research in astro physics.

Frankly sometimes you have to do some work in a conversation, sitting there going "link?" "source?" "proof?" everytime anyone says something you dont like is just idiotic.

So an online forum is the same as a conversation at a bar with friends? 🙄 Even then people will say stuff like:
I read on... Or this textbook says... Or the Bible says...

They then are showing some support to their point. If you care enough you can look it up later. That the same here...


So you believe anything and everything people say on the internet?

It wasn't a contentious point. They were saying you could get G5 clone cases. You asking for proof is like them going "Its sunny out" and you going "link?".

If I dont believe someone Ill look it up and provide some proof of why they are wrong.

Okay. I get it. You'll believe anything anyone says on the internet.

Now back to the point. Do you think Apple was wrong for going after the Zenbooks line?

Do you actually read peoples replies?

Yes.

 

[alfa147x]

Yes.

Well I disagree with that.

 

[Zaap]

So that looks like a MBA, but the Zenbook doesn't? lol. I don't get it.

Wow, logic and Apple fanbois definitely don't mix.

What part of IT'S FROM 2003, therefore WAY predates the MacBook Air can't you grasp?


Or do I have to explain to you that 2003 happened before 2010?

So if Apple's going to claim they were copied- they've copied designs that clearly predate the Air by nearly a decade. Is that too complicated for fanbois? (rhetorical question. OF COURSE you don't get it.)

Or could it be as others here have tried to explain; there's only so many ways that an ultra-thin keyboard attached to an ultra-thin screen made for human beings to use is going to look. There are going to be similarities.

So arguing about the Zenbook copying Apple is dumb, when one can make the case that Apple just copied Sony or other PC makers that made ultraportable laptops long before they did.

It's mostly just Apple fanbois that don't know anything at all about the rest of the tech universe that think everything they see from Apple is a virgin invention without any influence from anything else that's already been done.

 

[Kenmitch]

I'm arguing that the Zenbooks looked TOO similar. It's not just the wedge shape. It's more to it than that.

You should practice what your preach and destroy your Hackintosh rig and poney up for a real MacPro if your such a devouted Apple fan.

I guess it's Ok for you to build a wanna be mac but not for some company to make a product that somewhat looks just as ugly as Apples.

That's a silly 'point'. I doubt the guy is manufacturing Hackintoshes as a business.
