Acer Shamelessly Imitates The MacBook Air

Yet again, it seems like Apple’s competitors just don’t have what it takes to produce their own innovative products and designs to compete with Apple. Take the below leaked image of the Acer Aspire 3951 – look familiar?

While imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, in the corporate world it is silly and shameless. Further, it reflects a profound lack of both creativity and brand identity – what good is your brand if its just a cheap imitation of someone else’s?

While Acer’s new model is slightly thinner and heavier than the MacBook Air, the similarities are extremely obvious – Acer has clearly knocked off Apple’s design in a blatant and profound maner.

Perhaps Apple should take a break from suing Samsung for long enough to address this?
