    455 KB PC Laptop Makers Have Completely Given Up Anonymous 09/14/11(Wed)22:21 No.20021423  
    > From the floor of Intel's Developer Forum, its yearly showcase of new silicon and what it's going in, it's clear Apple's capable of a two front intellectual property war, if they choose. Cupertino thinks its designs are under attack! And they are—but they're looking in the wrong direction. Samsung's phones and tablets might share Apple's black rectangle minimalism, but the crop of black-on-silver Ultrabooks littering the floors of IDF are the real ripoff—like a heap of fake Gucci bags off eBay. Absolutely zero effort has been put into their design, beyond the labor of opening a tab of store.apple.com. If someone replaced my own Air with one of these shams I think it'd actually take me a second to realize the switch. That is, until I realized they were counterfeits, not replicas. And it certainly wouldn't be the first time. This is only the latest wave amid years of Apple design dupe frenzy.

    > If Ultrabooks are going to take off—and we hope they do, and they certainly should—they're going to need to become desired objects by virtue of their own desirability. They need to stand on their own. Hijacking Apple's design department is only going to make them look like second place losers—which at this point, they already sort of are. Independent thought, independent design, and the courage to actually compete against Apple instead of bowing to it and nibbling its aluminum unibody toes will put Ultrabooks in the public eye.

    Where did it all go wrong, /g/?

    When they tried to be Apple instead of trying to beat Apple.

    >implying the PC industry needs to try to beat apple
    >implying apple is not beaten already
    PC's outperform Apple machines on all scales, there is nothing left to destroy them in.

    Apple needs to Think Different. Bring back the magic of PowerPC.

    I'll take a laptop with extensibility and durability over a thin piece of shit any day.

    Apple can win in the thin and light department if they want to.

    You seem to think all the PC manufacturers share in the fruits of their combined dominance in userbase over Apple. PC sales have slowed worldwide, meaning all those manufacturers get an even thinner slice of an already anemic share. OSX doesn't have to compete (legally) with anyone else. Windows is on dozens and dozens of OEMs, on hundred of laptops and desktop models. That's why HP is about to get out of the business (even when they're still kind of number one in sales), and why Dell is more fucked than ever and relying on corporate sales and their peripherals to pick up the slack from PC sales. Meanwhile, Apple's shares are going to go apeshit when the iPhone 5 and the new (probably cheaper) Mac line comes out

    Ultrabooks are fashion/discussion pieces. The sacrifice for an extra 2mm of thickness is absurd, in price, performance, longevity, and user serviceability.

    Apple manages to do well because they have discussion pieces/fashion accessories for computers. For everyone else sane enough to say "2mm is not a big deal", there's much better built PCs.
