Anyone else find this funny?

I just find it funny how much Apple is copied and imitated nowadays by the media and manufacturers alike.

Samsung are the only company IMO which holds there own design, there monitors are out of this world stunning, far better than Apples...

lol...doubt that very much...

Have you even seen the Apple LED Display in person, it is pure filth! Samsung monitors are cheap and nasty in comparison. The picture quality is outstanding on the Apple also.

Look at that thing ^^^ It's hideous. Why would i want a monitor that looks like my TV on my desk? My 2007WFP is soooo much nicer.

From a design point of view i think the Dell 2007WFP and now 2009WFP have got the design spot on, it annoyed me when they got rid of the nice stand.

The amount of chin the Samsung has is a big turn off for me. Lets face it though Samsung isn't exactly an expensive brand. I do realise Apple use their panels in their displays but i just really don't like the design on the desktop range of Samsung's monitors.

When i saw that LED display in person i nearly bought it there and then it even though i had never considered it before. It was that nice.

Last i checked companies like sony had thin laptops out long before apple did. Im not even sure if that one you linked to in the first pic is made of aluminium, it just says "silver finish" so its possible its still a plastic shell.

I'm not talking about just the overall look, i'm talking about how the ad is laid out and how Apple is imitated by even their advertising style.

For the price, i think that looks great!

No hot linking

I concede that one is much nicer looking. But to me it still doesn't look like it belongs on a desk for a computer.

As i have said before, I'm not entirely basing this thread on portable computers but the fact that the MBA has been imitated not just by the hardware but by the advertising.

Im not specifically limiting myself to this advert also.

How exactly does that not look like it should be on a desk for a computer display? Because its not white and doesnt have a picture of a fruit on it coupled with a larger price tag because of that fact?

No, because it has a massive chin on it and looks identical to there TV's.

FYI, i have a Dell 2007WFP. White? Who uses white nowadays? That's so 2 years ago...

The "chin" as you put it is the bezel, its not overly large on the second monitor nor does it look like one of their tv's. But why do i get the feeling you would accept the "chin" on the imac to be totally acceptable even though it is of Jimmy Hill proportions.

I have obviously struck a nerve when i was just having a joke in all honesty.

I would accept a chin on the iMac, of course. You know why? Because that "monitor" has a whole computer inside it.
