At first glance, it could be a cheap chinese knock-off of a mac book, but its far more powerful and IMO, looks better than the mac book. They now have something to compare it to!

Shame it currently comes with Vista until a week or so.

I disagree that it looks better than a MacBook, but there's no accounting for taste I guess.

At £900 for the cheapest MacBook Pro and £1,300 for the cheapest HP Envy, it better be good.

I'm eagerly awaiting all the posts about how expensive it is, and how someone would be better off buying a Dell.

Still, its always nice to see other computer manufacturers pay more attention to the design of their products, even if they do have to rip off Apple to do it. I hope more will follow; perhaps some will even come up with a good idea or two that Apple can borrow.

The fact that they are comparing it to the MacBook in the first place clearly puts it down as a wannabe.
(There are Sonys that also try and look like Macs, but somehow they don't quite manage to pull it off either.)
