I'm no fan of the Apple ecosystem and I'm pretty tired of the "They copied Apple" rhetoric when it's a pretty basic feature or a feature that a little digging shows predated Apple...

But jeeze... this rates up there with every iThing product trying to ride Apple's coattails.

Just... stop.

Consumers value creativity and innovation, not slavish copying of someone else's design language.

Hire a competent designer already and make your own statement.

The looks are consistent with previous Beelink products. See the SER7, SER8, and SER9. You might say those were copying Apple too, but Apple didn't invent rounded edges, bottom ventilation, or brushed aluminium. I have seen  audio amplifiers/DSPs that used that same design combo long before Apple first sold their first mini. It is simply a set of functional and attractive design choices that are easy to converge on.
