This is what HP designs when it doesn’t copy Apple

Written by

Funny to hear HP talk about how it designs sleek computers and they look just like a MacBook Air. However, When left on their own, this is what they put out.

    Not a bad design, actually.

    (Not great, though.)

    See, this looks alright and it is decidedly un-apple in the design dept. They had a cool sleek mid tower so I’m just lost as to why everyone decided to ape the macbook air.

    Meanwhile, if you have to call it “Sleekbook”, it probably isn’t sleek.

      Agreed. Model names are often gross overcompensation. The loudest printer I ever used was an NEC SilentWriter.

    Nothing wrong with the look of the Toyota Camry until its design is compared with a Mercedes CLS. I’m the Camry guy who wishes his car looked like the CLS- what a beauty! And I agree 100% it is in the eye of the beholder. In this scenario HP= Camry school of design, Apple= CLS school of design.

    I can’t see anything. So either HP has gone totally minimalist, or something is broken, or worse.
