It's really hard to distinguish the Chromebook on the photo from a MacBook Pro. The Chromebook designers should really come up with something of their own instead of copying Jony Ive's design for Apple if they want the laptop to have a better image than poor mans MacBook.

If I had a nickel for every apple fanboi claiming google steals from apple I'd be rich. Please, get over it, let's not act like apple doesn't copy.

I can get over it. Even if it's more like cloning than copying.

I found an old issue of Wallpaper Magazine from 1997 with ad's for Mark Newson's watch named Ikepod. Both the name and the watch are similar to the iPod that appeared first time in 2001. Apple has off course copied a lot it's design from Braun's Dieter Rams. Rams is has retired, but Newson has just started working for apple.
