Does nearly every laptop these days look like a Mac Book Pro? Once in a while I see things like the Yoga, but from the radius of the rounded corners, indents for opening the lid, shape/size of the keyboard keys, placement of inputs... They might as well have spray painted the MBP black and called it a night. Maybe they did...

It's nuts. Every laptop I see now is a plastic MacBook knockoff, and this is no exception.
What makes it a Macbook knock off? Chiclet keyboard? Sony's VAIO X505 did it first. What else? Smooth, rounded corners? (lol)
After you've thinned down and chipped away as much as you can from any laptop design, that's pretty much what you get.
Then you have those people that go "NO NO NO It's totally different" ... except it's obvious. It's annoying, laptops use to be very different one from another.
