HP Envy is the latest laptop that HP is going to be released. Looks like the Macbook pros if you ask me.

Now. Imagine buying this thing, and installing OSX Leopard or Lion on it!

Caught the PBS show on Steve Jobs, seems Apple was not immune to "borrowing" technology over the years.

What's really neat, is that if you actually check out the link you will see more pictures than just the keyboard.

Just saying.


No really. Just saying.

To me, it just looks like a nice sleek laptop. I think the term "Apple ripoff" is a bit of a stretch.

Design is very, very similar




And that's all I'm speaking about. Honestly I don't care. I think it's funny. A machine is a machine in my book.
