Gateway Rips of Apple?

So today I hear about Gateways amazing new computer, called “ONE”. It is an all in one computer with built in LCD, CPU, etc. All in a sleek package.

Unfortunately for Gateway, Apple has had this model for 25+ years. Originally a Macintosh, but more recently (in the last 12 years or so) an iMac.

Lets peek at the most recent iMac.

Notice any similarities?

So i guess Gateway assumed since its market share is always in risk of slipping, they would copy the leader of creativity in the computer industry.

Gateway did do a good job with the design. It does look good, even if it is a knock off. Too bad it runs windows though.

They even copied the thinny keyboard, unreal.

so I can’t actually find proof of this computers existence anywhere. Do you have a link to its stats, or announcement, or anything?

This is so Embarrassing. I have a major typo here. This is a Gateway, not a dell.
