BezelColor + BezelShape: the shape is similar but without the lower white area. Metallic Logo: Nope. Appears to be a back-lit logo which is white in color [1] Logo Positioning: Is similar but not the same. Apple's logo is not in the black frame region. They both are centered though, I give you that. Aspect Ratio: iMac seems to be 8:5. This is 16:9 Foot Design: http://thenextweb.com/apple/2012/09/10/hp-imac/ http://thenextweb.com/apple/2012/09/10/hp-imac/ Check the last image. Choice of Material/Choice Of Finishing: Someone pointed out on the thread that HP is using plastic and not brushed aluminum. Keyboard Design: There aren't many side shots of the smaller keyboard from Apple but [2] looks different from Spectre One. Key Coloring: White on White vs White on Aluminium Grey. Key Layout: Is Also different. Have a look. Keyboard LED: Cannot deduct from image, so I will give you that. Trackpad Design: Yes similar from top Trackpad Footing: Check the side shots, they are different keyboard battery chamber and trackpad battery chamber: Sorry cannot see from the shots.

Edit: iMac has 16:9 screens as well. So adding that here.

That's an honest effort but not enough. Throw the Apple Thunderbolt Display and the correct Apple Wireless Keyboard into the comparison and points 1, 3, 4, and 7 evaporate. You're standing on a single extra key, a logo that might be backlit instead of foil, a different trackpad/keyboard foot arc, and the fact that they used plastic designed to mimic a specific metal with a specific finish. It's not enough for most observers, and HP is right to take some lumps over this.
