Thought the same, and when I saw the actual product, it just felt like a ripoff of MacBook. MacBook, MateBook.

  How is this a ripoff of a MacBook, of all things? It's far closer to a Surface Pro in its target audience and basic functionality (tablet, most notably).

    I meant the name and the likeness to the MacBook name. MacBook MateBook

      But there are also the Chromebook and Surface Book, so it`s hardly the only one going with this theme.

        I'm not criticising the product, I just said it /felt/ like that.

        And you know... how laptops were also referred to as notebooks decades ago.

          Definitely, in fact as far back as 1988-89, but Apple called their "notebooks" Powerbooks starting in 1991 before anyone else was using -Book in the branding* * as far as I can recall with the exception of Alan Kay who was dreaming up the future in 1972 and called it the DynaBook
