Another lawsuit coming i think : /
« on: September 10, 2012, 12:05:24 PM »
HP made "an all-in-one unlike anything you have ever seen"

For something i have never seen before it looks somehow familar. I sense a lawsuit coming...

Even my cat doesn\'t like me.

HP still isn't bust? Amazing after all the cock-ups of the last few years.

Who could sue them?  It looks like every other AIO out there.

Nothing new or interesting in that AIO.

What we\'re witnessing is the sad, lonely crowing of that last, doomed cock.

The keyboard and mousepad are damn near identical to the ones that come with recent iMacs, I think was the point. The unit itself is different enough that it'd be harder to make an infringement case out of.

I don't get why the industry is getting so hot-and-bothered over AIO PCs lately...these flatscreen ones in particular are no better an idea than they were in the days of the iMac G5 and its constant heat issues. CRT AIO Macs got away with it because there was room in the case for proper airflow...

But commodorejohn, you get the expandability of a laptop with the portability of a desktop.
It's win-win!
