"Front and back: Chromebox (top) and Mac mini\nFORTUNE &amp;#8212; Since it was introduced in May there have been at least half a dozen reviews of Samsung&amp;#8217;s Chromebox Series 3, a $330 keyboard-and-screen-free computer running Google&amp;#8217;s \n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tGOOG\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t Chrome OS that Amazon \n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAMZN\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t began promoting in e-mails to customers this week.\nBut only one reviewer &amp;#8212;\u00A0Engadget&amp;#8216;s\u00A0Myriam Joire &amp;#8212; bothered to mention the Chromebox&amp;#8217;s uncanny resemblance to a product Apple \n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAAPL\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t sells.\n&amp;#8220;Apple should be flattered,&amp;#8221; she wrote, &amp;#8220;either that, or it should be readying its\u00A0army of lawyers. Samsung&amp;#8217;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&amp;#8217;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.&amp;#8221;\nCould it be that the tech press is so inured to Samsung&amp;#8217;s habit of replicating Apple&amp;#8217;s designs that it hardly bears mentioning?\nI wonder if Amazon sent its Chromebox e-mail to anyone in the Apple v. Samsung jury&amp;#8230;\nThanks to reader Chris Whear in the U.K. for the tip."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
