Building a full PC into a tablet case with such a thin bezel is now "little innovation".

Yes, everyone's rushing to copy Apple, but I wonder if that's such a bad thing? The single-piece aluminum case turns out to be a wonderful design!

It's like an iPad-sized iPhone 6.

It's shocking how little innovation exists these days.

What "innovation" is necessary anyway? Rectangular boxes with touchscreens on them seem to fit most use-cases well enough. The fact that smartphones have all become similarly shaped also suggests that there isn't really a better shape these things could be.

No, it suggests that nobody wants to think about a better shape these things could be.

Yeah, I would want my next laptop to be oval. Much better ergonomics IMO.

It's not the shape that people are looking at. It's the materials, chamfers, finishes, and marketing images.

There has also been shockingly little innovation in the rhetoric employed by rabid Apple fans over the decades.

Cause innovation is all about design.
