You don't know if it can or not.

wow PC laptop manufacturers suck. it just blows my mind. as far as PCs go, though, i guess this one is okay ...in a sort of ignorable kind of way.

someone do something original! please! stop letting Apple get away with the "Our designs are the only ones worth a shit" reputation they've managed to keep for so long. bah!]]>Aug 8th 2006 5:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/haseenotes-jive-w205r-core-duo-macbook-clone-for-korea/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/haseenotes-jive-w205r-core-duo-macbook-clone-for-korea/

Apple is also the true originator of the very idea of a notebook computer, or in fact any black or white vaguely rectangular portable device.

This is an obvious Apple rip off.

Where's the design similarity? Core Duo? 1GB of RAM? 1280x800? Aren't those kinda standard by now? So what is it that makes it a clone, a magnetic latch?

I'm not trying to fanboy either way, it's got some nicer specs and some less nice specs than the MacBook. I just don't see much similarity, particularly.]]>Aug 8th 2006 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/haseenotes-jive-w205r-core-duo-macbook-clone-for-korea/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/haseenotes-jive-w205r-core-duo-macbook-clone-for-korea/
What exactly is similar about those two laptops? That they're both black and shaped like a laptop with a touchpad?

The only distinctive design feature of either laptop is the offseting color of the touchpad and the white line surrounding it on the supposed clone. The Apple is simply an all-black laptop, like a million PC laptops that have been available for the last decade. Just because you never looked at a black laptop before Apple started selling them doesn't mean they didn't exist.

This is probably the stupidest Engadget post I've ever read. Maybe there is some design feature this laptop shares with the Apple that the Apple doesn't share with a million laptops that came before it, but nothing in the post of Jeff's picture identifies any such feature.]]>Aug 8th 2006 6:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/haseenotes-jive-w205r-core-duo-macbook-clone-for-korea/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/haseenotes-jive-w205r-core-duo-macbook-clone-for-korea/Aug 8th 2006 6:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/haseenotes-jive-w205r-core-duo-macbook-clone-for-korea/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/haseenotes-jive-w205r-core-duo-macbook-clone-for-korea/Next!]]>Aug 8th 2006 6:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/haseenotes-jive-w205r-core-duo-macbook-clone-for-korea/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/haseenotes-jive-w205r-core-duo-macbook-clone-for-korea/Aug 8th 2006 6:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/haseenotes-jive-w205r-core-duo-macbook-clone-for-korea/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/haseenotes-jive-w205r-core-duo-macbook-clone-for-korea/Aug 8th 2006 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/haseenotes-jive-w205r-core-duo-macbook-clone-for-korea/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/haseenotes-jive-w205r-core-duo-macbook-clone-for-korea/I love the design of the MacBook, but this isn't anything like it, it's ugly and plain. The only thing I can see on this laptop that is notable similar to the MacBook is the touchpad, and even that is more similar to the touchpad I've seen on some Toshiba notebooks. I could understand the howls of 'clone' if the laptop had copied the MacBook's keyboard or something, but otherwise I just don't see what anyone is talking about. Does anyone care to actually explain?]]>Aug 8th 2006 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/haseenotes-jive-w205r-core-duo-macbook-clone-for-korea/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/haseenotes-jive-w205r-core-duo-macbook-clone-for-korea/Aug 8th 2006 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/haseenotes-jive-w205r-core-duo-macbook-clone-for-korea/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/haseenotes-jive-w205r-core-duo-macbook-clone-for-korea/So you've got the hinges. Anything else? That doesn't make a clone. Honestly, if this is a rip, it's a rip of a IBM (well, Lenovo), with the 'functional' design style...

Seriously, engadget, how is this a Macbook clone? Is it because it's black and the screen sits below the base when it's opened? I don't get it....

And at 2.7 lbs, it sure is tempting. Enjoy your 5.2 lbs macbook.]]>Aug 8th 2006 7:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/haseenotes-jive-w205r-core-duo-macbook-clone-for-korea/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/haseenotes-jive-w205r-core-duo-macbook-clone-for-korea/Aug 8th 2006 9:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/haseenotes-jive-w205r-core-duo-macbook-clone-for-korea/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/haseenotes-jive-w205r-core-duo-macbook-clone-for-korea/
Submerged hinge
Latchless
Fairly monotone
Rather squarish design (pretty rare for PC laptops these days to not try to spice things up)
Similar proportions in most places to the MacBook (keyboard, screen bezel)

Nothing really blatant, or worthy of a "Keepin' it real fake" writeup, but pretty similar all the same.]]>Aug 8th 2006 9:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/haseenotes-jive-w205r-core-duo-macbook-clone-for-korea/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/haseenotes-jive-w205r-core-duo-macbook-clone-for-korea/
a laptop with simplified design at a reasonable price with moderate performance.

And personally this is the one of the best design for any PC laptop with more than enough horsepower, then the price is more than reasonable-

Lastly, whenever there's a simplified, nice looking laptop, it's a rip-off from Apple, eh??

So, in conclusion, the only thing, really, that you can say took its cues from Apple is the hinge.

Lastly, who cares if the hinge is the same? If it works, and the specs are good and it's half the weight, what's the diff?

Oh, and to waddo. You're wrong or misguided on a number of your points. You think that PCs don't have webcams with 30 fps and built-in mics? Are you serious? (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2204,CONTENTID=11804 for an example) Oh, and it probably CAN run OS-X based on the news of it being booted up on Dells and the like. And do you know for a fact that the quality of these particular laptops isn't good? light-weight DNE cheap-quality, dude.

30fps is only a detail, not the point. On Windows you can buy a nice cam, as linked, but you are still stuck with the Windows codec which in a resent independent study was the worst codec available. This may explain why HD blue ray etc does not use the windows codec. Also you are limited to the bad implementation of video conferencing in MSN and Yahoo etc. Good implementation looks like this:

http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/ichat/

So, out of the box, with no additional purchase a mac gives you the highest quality video available, full screen and four people video 10 people audio. No matter how nice a camera you can buy (extra) for a windows, you cannot do any of this. We are talking about out of the box user experience that just works.

Any way, I don't want to argue: I was simply pointing out that I have great contact with my relatives now which Apple makes possible. And I am very happy about it.
