How much can clones rip off from Apple's designs? The fact that Apple's competitors are mimicking everything from tablets to laptops, shows how much Steve Job's legacy has impacted other device makers.

The good news is that they are alternative options with lower price tags than the Macbook Air. Apple is beginning to file lawsuits against these companies, can they win with this beautiful collection of design patent portfolio?
The Lenovo IdeaPad's design team in Beijing "reimagined the entire laptop experience" with an inspiration of "a bound book". The video shows the innovations going into the laptop design, and its coincidental location in China, which is becoming a growing innovation hub.
