The original PowerBook design was actually made by IBM, so it's hard to say they "copied" the design. Plus, great artists don't copy in the first place...

- eyesee 4y agoIt was Sony, not IBM. They built the PowerBook 100 based on Apple’s 150 and 170 models.
- lproven 4y agoYou are right, it was Sony. But it was not based on the 170, as that launched in 1994, 3 years later. I think the models that influenced it were the 140 and 170, both from 1991, and much chunkier than the 100.
