Look a little closer at some Ultrabooks that may look like MacBook Air clones, and you'll find that laptop makers have added their own touches or improvements to the design.

Pinola does not seem to notice that her own sentence construction belies her whole point. They took the MacBook Air design and they added their own details! See?! How is that copying?!

Again, the point goes beyond the details of any particular laptop, because Intel only came up with the idea for Ultrabooks after Apple was so successful with the Air. Of course there were slim laptops before the Air, but then PC OEMs decided to burn their houses down by making netbooks. Apple showed them a better way, and here we are.

Times infinity.
