Is it legal to sell something that looks almost indistinguishable from a MacBook?

These responses to anyone pointing out how similar the design is are so disingenuous. Very strange!

OMG, when the first picture on the website appeared, I thought it was a Mac. Isn’t it too look alike? I mean maybe they get sued or something, which would be sad, because I love the design and the idea

We're almost all thinking it, so... are you trying to get sued by Apple, or what's the reason for 1:1 copy of the design?

Edit: To be clear, I'm not just trying to dunk on the idea. That would be the reason for me not to buy one if it looks like the vendor can fold because Apple dragged them to court.

Huawei and others have been doing it for years. Google the “Matebook”.

How compatible is it with Linux? Was it tested with specific distros?
