Part of the answer is to look like a MacBook too.
Seems like everyone’s making their own versions of “MacBook-killer” ultrabooks nowadays. Earlier this month, Microsoft unveiled the Surface Laptop, ready to compete for the highly vied market space. Today, we’ve got Chinese electronics titan Huawei throwing their hat into the ring with their MateBook X, a MacBook-looking laptop sporting equally, if not better, premium specs.
