Ugly iMac ripoff introduced...

Switched the Other Way
A PC company called Northwood just introduced this hideous blatant copy of the iMac (blatant in that even their comments to newspapers describe how it's a better deal than the Apple's offering.)

And I quote:
"The Californian company said its new Integra, "crosses the boundaries between the PC industry to home entertainment and a wide range of digital multimedia uses." They reckon it'll knock nicely-coloured spots off Apple's i- and eMacs."

Sorry, but this whole thing is totally inferior to the iMac for one reason - the iApps! It is a nightmare trying to do what they say on Windows compared to Apple's iApps which have: ease of use, functionality right after installation with no machine-specific setup, and best of all, are FREE. While this PC clone's tech specs are decent, the lack of iApps will make this much less appealing to the consumers they are trying to compete for.


[EDIT: another great quote:
"A spokesman for the company said the integrated P4 processor would "run circles around" the Apple iMac G4. "It does not even belong on the same performance chart," he added. "]

Yeah, right. I would like to see near-real time DVD encoding on that ugly pos.
 
May it crash and burn. they must understand that we're buying Macs for software, not hardware...
 
Oh my goodness. Nobody but Apple could ever have thought of integrating a LCD and computer together.

Not to metion that it looks nothing like the new iMac. No swinging arm, round base, pro speakers, one button mouse, clear plastic keyboard with white keys, silver Apple logo, etc.

Get a life people.

In other news. Apple releases a 3 button mouse to go with their recently aquired Shake application. PC users around the world are disgusted. "A blatant ripoff of my PC mouse that I have right here. See, 1, 2, 3 buttons! Obviously a PC mouse clone if I've ever saw one! How dare Apple."
 
i don't think the point was that it looks like an imac, it's that the creator directly contested it against the imac.
 
I was kind of surprised when people said this was an iMac ripoff. I wouldn't go so far as to say that.

But I ALSO am surprised at how this company is touting it as an iMac competitor. Cheaper? Right.. as crazyapplerumors.com pointed out, it's as cheap as the base eMac. :rolleyes:

Hahahaha.. I love this quote:

The Integra lets the PC user say, 'Here's a computer I know is no more attractive than I am.'

Hahahahahahaha. Classic.
 
They expect to sell that ugly looking pos? That Gateway All-In-One was a better attempt at an iMac rip-off.

And I agree, where are the iApps for this "thing" that MAKE a Mac so perfet?
 
i don't want a matalic clunkey thing in the middle of my desk!

i want my blue iMac to go with my blue room

(actually that was a coincidonce)
