三星Chromebox疑似抄襲蘋果Mac Mini
|
????三星（Samsung）Chromebox Series 3自今年5月推出以來，至少已有六篇關于該產品的評測。Chromebox Series 3定價330美元，是一款不帶鍵盤和屏幕、運行谷歌（Google）Chrome操作系統的電腦。亞馬遜（Amazon）本周已開始通過電子郵件向客戶推銷這款產品。 ????但僅有一位評論者——癮科技（Engadget）的米里安?瓊瑞——提到Chromebox酷似蘋果（Apple）的一款產品。 ????瓊瑞寫道：“蘋果應該感到榮幸，或者它應該準備好律師團隊。三星的Chromebox酷似蘋果的Mac mini，兩款產品都是一模一樣的7.6英寸的正方形，圓角（Chromebox的半徑較小一些），銀邊（Chromebox采用銀色塑料來代替鋁）。Chromebox更薄（厚度為1.3英寸，Mac mini為1.4英寸），更輕，而且與Mac mini的一體式鋁合金外殼不同，Chromebox采用的是看起來十分廉價的黑色亞光頂蓋，上面印有醒目的三星和Chrome標志?！?/p> ????莫非是科技媒體已經對三星山寨蘋果的產品設計習以為常，所以對這樣的現象已經不屑一提？ ????我很好奇，不知道亞馬遜有沒有將推銷Chromebox的電子郵件發送給蘋果與三星糾紛案中的陪審團成員…… ????感謝英國讀者克里斯?惠爾為筆者提供本文的線索。 ????譯者：項航 |
????Since it was introduced in May there have been at least half a dozen reviews of Samsung's Chromebox Series 3, a $330 keyboard-and-screen-free computer running Google's (GOOG) Chrome OS that Amazon (AMZN) began promoting in e-mails to customers this week. ????But only one reviewer -- Engadget's Myriam Joire -- bothered to mention the Chromebox's uncanny resemblance to a product Apple (AAPL) sells. ????"Apple should be flattered," she wrote, "either that, or it should be readying its army of lawyers. Samsung's Chromebox looks very much like a Mac mini, with the exact same 7.6-inch-square footprint, rounded corners (using a smaller radius) and silver rim (made of painted plastic instead of aluminum). It's thinner (1.3 inches vs. 1.4 inches), lighter and eschews that unibody aluminum shell for a rather cheap looking matte black plastic top cover featuring prominent Samsung and Chrome logos." ????Could it be that the tech press is so inured to Samsung's habit of replicating Apple's designs that it hardly bears mentioning? ????I wonder if Amazon sent its Chromebox e-mail to anyone in the Apple v. Samsung jury... ????Thanks to reader Chris Whear in the U.K. for the tip. |
