Hewlett Packard, known for its long history of technological innovation, released its Spectre One desktop computer over the weekend. And according to The Next Web, it looks like an Apple iMac replica.
“The phrase ‘Redmond, start your photocopiers’ was used to market Mac OS X Tiger back in 2006 and referred to Microsoft,” notes the post. “Microsoft is pushing something new and original with Windows 8, but the OEMs making computers for it seem to have done just that.”
“Note that even the keyboard and touchpad are nearly complete clones of Apple’s offerings,” writes TNW. “This is just a sad day for HP. There are nearly infinite combinations of components and design to choose from here and it decided to effectively clone Apple.”
Steve Jobs warned of this happening to HP during his interviews with biographer Walter Isaacson. He hoped he’d left a stronger legacy at Apple than Hewlett and Packard had at HP.
According to Engadget, the Spectre One desktop will be available November 14th starting at $1,299.
