Isn’t it funny how people who are not tech-savvy call any tablet an iPad? when you walk past an iMac it takes you roughly a nanosecond to recognize it. Can you name any of these without looking at the brand name?

Random all-in-one PCs. images from hp.com, asus.com, and dell.com

That’s what I thought. And you are most likely tech-savvy being here.

It feels like manufacturers like Dell, HP, and ASUS made these machines because they “had to” do whatever Apple was doing. It feels like this is a segment they don’t want to be in, but they decided they should.

Now name this:

Say what you want about Apple products. Less powerful? Sure. Questionable repairability? Sure. Locked in ecosystem? Sure. However, you’d never mistake an Apple product for another product. at least not…
