I disagree with this. It was not Pegatron's fault, but ASUS's. I say let ASUS continue to prove that they cannot innovate. If they eventually do innovate, then it will only help Apple by providing competition which will make the products better.
Apparently Apple forgot about the HP Envy:

*Sighs* Really???
In fairness, its not a bootleg MBA. If Apple has an issue with patent infringement...they should take it up with ASUS(and the courts).
Is Pegatron going to be bullied against making every ultrabook? They all end up looking like the Air...
You can definitely tell by the posts in here who has ever worked for an actual business and who hasn't... What Apple is doing has been done by every company large enough to attempt it.
Lazy people. Just do what Apple does. That's the new PC mantra.

i prefer to see apple competing with the best products instead of pushing competitors out of the market by blackmailing vendors. i hope the antitrust offices will pick this up.
and this device doesn't even look like the macbook air.
that doesn't make it right.
Behold, Apple is the new Microsoft. Albeit one with sexier products.
Never said they did. I said you're happy to see them acting in a blatantly anti-competitive manner. Apparently you can't fathom that it's possible to act in an immoral and unethical manner and not be breaking a law.I don't see them breaking any laws here.

Perhaps but that is a value judgment very clearly influenced by today's social standards: Everyone gets a trophy, no one gets a failing grade, and no company should ever try to make a profit.
At first I said Huh ? Then I went and looked at the Zenbook. It looks almost exactly like a Macbook Air.
Good for Apple.
Why can't these companies design their own laptops and tablets.

Pegatron is one operating in an immoral and unethical behavior, Apple is simply requiring its supplier Pegatron to not sell its designs to other companies. I see nothing wrong with Apple requiring its suppliers its to operate with a small amount of ethics.Never said they did. I said you're happy to see them acting in a blatantly anti-competitive manner.

they can make profit as much as they want but asus is no danger to apple. we should keep all in mind that competition is very important. without asus etc. apple wouldn't be forced to be innovative.
