Looks quite different to me. The top laptop in the below picture is a Macbook Air.

Removing my post because, based on the post immediately after this, it looks like this is going to be another inane Apple vs. Wintel and OSX vs. Windows 7 thread.

Even the title of this thread is a bit annoying. I might start another thread with useful info about Ultrabooks.

no matter the aesthetic improvements that are made on the outside, they still lack what really makes the Macs shine - OS X

I am surprised that it has taken this long for manufacturers to introduce lookalikes.

I am surprised that there are thoughts that Apple may be able to patent the concept of a thin laptop as something unique.

My Thinkpad X series is light enough for now, but I can see my next Intel laptop being something thinner than I my current one.

I welcome the introduction of ever more thinner and lighter laptops. I freely acknowledge that Apple has been in the forefront of design and innovation, and the competition is a good thing for everyone.
