Chromebox

Samsung ChromeBox

According to my iMac thread, I will paraphrase "no you fan boy jackass Apple has never developed anything that anyone ever copied ever times infinity"

No, it is TOTALLY different...

See, the power button be in the front...totally different. And the top is black instead of silver. And Chromebox has an all black bottom instead of black and silver. Geez...how can you guys make the comparison with such obvious differences.

reply to not quite right
No. Should it?

Apparently from the back it looks much more like a Mini.

reply to not quite right
No, it has USB ports on the front, making it more usable.

less talk, more music

Why would anyone want USB ports on the front? That'd ruin the design. Jeez

reply to not quite right
It looks like a nice device but I've come to love airplay too much. Every other form of sharing, streaming and browsing media has come to feel archaic to me.

I wish Apple, Microsoft and google products could all talk to each other with such simplicity.

Leave it to them to take a nice design and screw it up. That bitch is fugly.

To bad it runs Chrome.

Whats my point ... Samsung has no shame. Beat the competition with better products, not trying to deceive people

You know I always go to Mac/Apple based forums thinking, "man maybe this time around people will stop with the fanboy attitude and just drop it and not care that something looks like an Apple computer." Then I read threads like these and it proves every bad thing about Apple fans all over again.

Who cares if it looks like a mini, the small form factor has existed for a long time, just because Apple made a computer that was a square doesn't mean a thing. Not to mention what is wrong with Chrome, for anybody who has had family members who are idiots with computers and love to destroy stuff things like these are god sends because they provide a limited environment and help reduce the amount of junk people might corrupt.

I'm not going to lie, in our corporate environment I have drawn up a few proposals around using this instead of a Wyse client because this does Citrix Receiver which a good portion of our company is going to start using to help reduce costs of new PC's for a lot of low level employees. What makes it worthless is the fact that it has literally no enterprise functionality or ability to bind with AD or use LDAP authentication. Other than that it's a great little computer for the most basic users.

Funny how quickly apple fanboys forget how much apple has stolen... Not to mention they would not exist if they didn't steal from Xerox..

Now where is that link... Ah, here we go:

Does any of that look familiar? Those are 60s braun products.

You were saying OP?

reply to Metatron2008
Purchased from Xerox for RTB $1M in pre-IPO stock that would be worth $1.3B today but don't let facts get in your way.

reply to Metatron2008
Might be relevant if Apple was making appliances to directly compete with Braun back in the 1960s. The gutsy innovation is making a computer today that looks like a 60's toaster oven and being able to sell the damn thing.

If the designers of Chromebucket took the same risks, it would be a gutsy and innovative industrial design call. Simply copying your direct competitor who took those design risks is neither gutsy nor innovative.

Carry on, OP.
