HP also produces the ZBook...

there's a chance that it's the favourite laptop for the Russians at this time?
(because of the "Z" on the back)

I think that classifies as 'accidentally'. No one, unless they have lived in a cardboard box, or medical research facility for most of their lives would ever mistake a MacBook Pro for an HP product.
But I guess marketing types DO live in places like that? One client I had actually hired a 'marketing guy', and to hear management and ownership talk about it was bizarre. None of them could apparently understand what the 'marketing guy' was saying, but they continued to pay him because they were advised to 'get a marketing guy'. Not really directly related here, but it is 'marketing', and that does seem to be from people living in a different world far too often.

OMG! A friend of mine drove for Fedex Ground. (Independent contractor) And he used to deliver to the local UPS Store. Yeah, seriously.
So some seriously upper management muckity-muck happened to be in the store at the time he came walking it with 'stuff' from corporate. The MM saw it and snatched the packages from my friend and looked at where they were coming from (UPS) and freaked out. He yelled at my friend telling him to 'get the eff out and never come back', and then the MM started raging about sending 'company assets' through the competitor company. He said he laughed most of the day, and only delivered a couple more things after that confrontation. (Fedex Ground IS usually less costly than UPS, so shouldn't UPS cover the shipping cost since it is from them, too them?) *shrug*
Point being, they were advertising a Samsung Galaxy from an iPhone. It’s embarrassing. I’m not sure what being partners has got to do it with. Especially when their marketing department spends half of the time trying to run Apple down whilst the engineering department spend half of their time trying to copy Apple.
That looks 'off', and I suspect it's actually some sort of Linux.
Totally amateur (or ignorance?) hour! Not only should it have been the three-dot ellipsis, but followed by a space, and a lowercased "for". That bugs me as much as people typing "to much" instead of "too much".
That's not macOS in the Fedex ad. It just looks like it since they mimic the Dock and menubar.
Coulda been worse. Coulda been a Zune 😂
Oh my. This is Xiaomi levels of copy. Windows is clearly morphing into a macOS clone... the difference is they lack the attention to detail and polish that Apple put on its features, I'm running macOS Ventura RC and stage manager animations and details are out of this world, it fully transformed my workflow.
That would actually be the perfect computer.
Windows power (rtx 4090 etc.) and pricing, with fully supported MacOS omgggg the dream

Agreed. The HP Z line - which you could probably say are a step above again from 'business' class - are very good Windows machines, and I'd be quite happy to be issued one for work over say a Surface Pro.
Most likely, HP outsourced the job to a cut-rate "design studio" somewhere outside the United States. The two-dot ellipsis screams "English is my second language," and the layout suggests "I have a pirated copy of Photoshop that I'm starting to learn how to use."
Google made the same mistake recently on Twitter. Just saw it today.
2009 Macbook Pro you mean? There haven’t been Powerbooks since 2005
