How did the Zenbook rip off macbook air, I don't understand why people say that. Who stole the laptop form-factor? Are all laptops ripoffs from the first one? How else would you go about making a thin laptop if it wasn't with the macbook air general "shape". It seems to me like many of the form factors that came about first were just part of a natural evolution of things, and if form factors were patented and couldn't be ripped off, what would we end up with? Thin laptops with a big bulge on the side as to avoid looking too much like the first guy who did it?

Come on.

Also I'm pretty sure the HP tablet that went on a firesale was called the Touchpad and not the Touchbook.

I'll actually agree, lately HP products have been gigantic disappointments in my experience.

The only good thing about HP doing ripoff of Mac is that it's still a PC :p

And tablet's PC were ripped off by Apple from Microsoft. It's quite normal that they all copy each other (samsung apple) etc.. (in fact i learned the first tablet pc was samsung) (not talking about the linux one that was not a tablet pc)

It clearly looks like a deliberate copy of the macbook design to me. No offense to the apple haters

I love my HP pavilion HPE. HP makes good stuff, but like all the big desktop giants they all are shifting to tablets because apple had the huge profits. But I really think HP should downsize and focus on making high quality laptops and desktops, monitors and printers.

Enterprises that size don't do well if they stagnate, let alone downsize.

They haven't done anything innovative that will propel the company forwards in quite some time. Time will tell if HP can turn things around

don't worry, I also thought it was about Hewlett Packard lol. HP isn't really a bad company. I mean ya, they may have copied Apple's design but as long as its good quality and at a lower price with similar or better specs, then I don't see anything wrong with it. This is a competitive market and as much as I hate to say it, a lot of things go. One of my siblings has owned an HP laptop for 5+ years now and it still works well after all that time.

didn't HP completely exit the phone and tablet business? they've even already made webos open source. pretty sure no new "mobile" device has come from them since the 2011 touchpad

I had a HP notebook a couple of years ago. I had a pretty large budget from by boss to by a work notebook and I askeed around and people basically recomended Macs (NO WAY), IBM/Lenovo (too ugly, hate the clitoris) and HP, so I went with HP. NEVER AGAIN - the thing was horrible in almost all possible ways. It seems that when you put in standard components (such as an i5 with an Intel board) there is not much to screw up, but there is, it had problems right and left, most of them could be probably traced to very poor cooling and buiild quality. So I inhertied a Dell from a colleague that left recently - and it looked terrble, all plastics (and I worked for DELL in the past, so I kinda hate the company), but it is unbelievably reliable (and I am the guy to whom you would give a piece of hardware to see if it breaks, as I travel a lot, to hostile places, with the notebook).

On the other hand, HP printers are still the shit, at least in consumer/small office segment. I have a LJ1018 at home and I won't really change it (only you really have to by a new cartridge now and then, refilled/3rd party ones are nothing but trouble).

I think that HP has been focusing more on the server industry rather than personal computers. They have a ton of BIIIIIIIIIIIG name contracts with the government, and very large companies (facebook, apple - they may not have them anymore). They also have some interesting server solutions like their POD's (mobile servers in a tractor truck trailer, with its own cooling system and all) and 3PAR storage (AFAIK, still the fastest and most reliable storage system available). Not to mention their printer market, and the fact that they handle a huge amount of credit card transactions (not through CC sales, but the actual devices I believe).
