HP Copies Apple

HP the Company that claims it invents products is now blatantly copying Apple.

Just as Intel announced its intention to glam up mobile PCs (CDN yesterday) Hewlett-Packard has danced along with a notebook that reportedly sports an “elegant piano-white finish.”

It’s hardly an original idea especially for a Company that brags that they “Invent” products. Apple’s all-white iBooks have been selling for several years.

H-P’s Presario B2800 Notebook PC’s outer layer is described as “minimalist” (unlike the press release) and the whole device “affordable” for students and young mobile professionals. Prices start at $2499

The notebooks are equipped with Intel Centrino mobile technology, with Wi-Fi wireless networking and Bluetooth 2 built in.
