Damn Fugly!

Who do they have designing these machines? Engineers?

Erm. Yes. Same as Apple and every other computer company.

Erm. Yes. Same as Apple and every other computer company.

Actually, the design is handled by a high-paid individual called an 'Industrial Designer,' who is supposed to do market research in order to take into account what the desired customer wants. This information is then passed to the Engineer, who makes that design a reality.

Obviously the desired customer for this laptop is easily impressed by 'bling' and is looking for something that conveys status using lots of lights, switches, logos, and a chrome/plastic/leatherette look. I'm surprised it doesn't have faux wood panels on the side.

The only similarities between the two are the screen, and the fact that they are both fugly.

Haha, sorry.

To me it just looks like if that computer were a person, it would smell like cigarettes.
