Sony copying apple mac's

Given that Apple stole the idea of that style keyboard from a Sony laptop in the first place - what, exactly, is your beef.

Might I suggest that you and the OP should retract and apologise.

Well Sony stole it from someone else.
 
Apple still 'stole' the idea. The Macbook keyboard is a DIRECT rip off of the Sony style keyboard.

These supposed copying by Sony of Mac products actually, are nothing like the same thing.

Throwing the accusation of copying at Sony, when the single most identifiable new feature of Mac's has been the keyboard they stole off Sony....is frankly, beyond lame.
 
Apple has said in the past they looked to Sony for inspiration in product design. It amazes me the number of people who simply assume Sony is copying Apple... 🙄

As for those two systems: they look nothing like their Apple counterparts. An all-in-one design really limits what you can do design-wise, but the Sony looks very different from an iMac nonetheless.

As for the TP... circle gets the square.

Apple never said Sony stile from them so your point is irrelevant. If Apple stole the idea from Sony, well Sony stole it from someone else.
