I don't really care how many PC manufacturers try and copy the MacBook Pro, but why has no so far managed to make a decent unibody PC laptop? IMO that is the real desirable feature of a MacBook.
- fishercs 17y agothe adamo is unibody.. if you want good looks and ruggedness though go with a thinkpad hands down.
- sz 17y agoI suspect it has to do with differentiation. By trying to make a product too similar to an Apple product a manufacturer would open the door wide open to valid criticism about being an Apple knockoff company. By doing something different, they have claim to their own identity. But since (almost) nobody can beat Apple at design, that difference manifests itself more in getting more performance per doller (=cheap construction) or lots of products with special features (e.g. gaming machines). Also it takes time to develop mass production capacity for something with a very different manufacturing process.
