Apple Forces Pegatron to Stop Manufacturing Asus Zenbook

Apple has forced Pegatron to stop manufacturing the Asus Zenbook with the threat of pulling its iPhone orders, according to the Commercial Times.

9to5Mac reports on the Chinese article which said the similarities between the MacBook Air and the Zenbook instigated Apple to demand that Pegatron choose sides.

Pegatron will reportedly stop manufacturing the Zenbook family by the end of March and Asustek will have to outsource their manufacturing to Compal or Wistron.

This is getting out of control. First, I can't really see much similarities that would warrant such behavior, but then, why can't Apple go after Asus? This seems to me like pretty shady business. My iPhone is the last Apple product I'm buying, can't wait till this summer to upgrade to something else.

So what if it looks somewhat similar. It aint running Crapple iOS.It runs WIndows. So all comparisons are void.
