cool machine, logo too small
bear   08.19.09
Why is so similar to apple?
Nowski   08.19.09
Re: Bear, logo too small - hahahahaha!
MWW   08.19.09
@Nowski: you are similar to Apple!
Hank   08.19.09
what a crude idea!
jc   08.20.09
I am sorry, it is not similar to Apple. Its identical to Apple.
Nowski   08.20.09
Yeah, identical down to the brushed aluminum finish, and the huge logo. Also, the bright color options are identical to apple's wide range of grays.
...
In all seriousness the only thing that's similar is the overall shape- and when was the last time you saw a non-rectangular laptop?
hober   08.20.09
If you look at the details as well. Switch off button, display, touchpad, the hole where you place the finger to open the computer, keyboard,... you cant say it does not look Apple-like.
Nowski   08.21.09
Holy crud you're right, I never realized Apple invented power buttons or black display frames...or holes. But now that I think about it, yeah, you're right.

And the keyboard has a QWERTY layout too! How Apple is that? Let me tell you - A LOT.
gsass   08.26.09
It does not look Apple-like. There, I said it

Anyone familiar with Naoto will say it looks very Naoto
Will Mac   08.27.09
@Will Mac

I said to myself: it's very Naoto
Barton Smith / TOL   08.28.09
Fortunately, Naoto loves Apple.
