It looks like they have resurrected the Inspiron 6000 from 2005.

No, the HP was a blueish-grey (I know, as I owned one.)

No, THAT had a nice design (I liked the media buttons on the front!) this is just ... UGLY! I wish manufactures would go back to nice, decent machines, with 'quick set' buttons on the front!

Apple copied Sony, then Samsung copied Apple. Soon Sony will copy Samsung and the cycle will be complete.

Apple copied LG for their iPhone design as well :)


I'm surprised Apple hasn't sued someone over laptop design!!!
