The usual lets-copy-apple and defend it

So HP goes and releases it's latest range of ultra-books. Hmm Ultrabook, what is with  that "Ultra expression"? what's so freakin' ultra about these designs! even the tech specs are standard, sure sure, there is a fancy pants new processor inside that goes gagillions of Ghz, or is that just Giga Hurts! Oh wow yeah, well may be dump the ultra, it's just a damn computer a laptop haven't they been around for ages now? I'm sure I saw one these back in the 90s.  Oh yeah back to the point which is that this HP Spectre XT ( wow a James Bond Villain perhaps?) it's a wedge shape pretty similar to the Macbook Air.

 Read below and check the rants...
Have a read of the standard ranting on macrumors you can get lots of opinions. The best one is from user

Read through the corporate double-speak, and the essential message is:
"Yeah, of course we copied Apple. The MB Air is selling like hotcakes, and Apple got a head start on us. But we copied them in such a way to prevent them from suing us."
End of story.


Seems to sum it up nicely. It's like cars isn't it? cars start to look kind similar over the years.
