It also looks to have an innovative lawsuit inducing ID. Seems pretty lazy to just anodized a MacBook Pro black, swap the logo and call it a day.

It looks like a simple purist one color professional notebook. The curves are all different. As a apple zealot you surely see how the Macbook is a whole different league in terms of style and smart-term-that-ends-with-ility (and by that obviously different).
I didn't realize MacBook Pros had touchscreens on the keyboard...
Look at this gallery of product shots:

That is Apple's industrial design language. They could have made it look like anything and they chose to ape apple, that's lazy.

Are you seriously proposing that Apple has some monopoly on the idea of a rectangle with rounded corners? There's only so many practical shapes that a laptop can be.
Sure, it's very similar to the MBP, but it's not just a paintjob and a sticker - turning the trackpad into a touchscreen and moving it to the side of the keyboard is a big change.
I'm looking at this on an MBP right now and pretty much all of the details are different except for... a similar shape and keyboard type? What do you want out of them?
I think the presentation of it is more Apple-like than the design of the computer itself.
