Wow, what a copycat!!!!
It even have the Magnetic connector as the MacBooks.
Looks like the market for samsung, lenovo and Dell is for the people with no TV or people that has never saw a computer before. I mean, you have to have many "cojones" to copy other's products and thinking that no body will note it.
