Looks like a generic Lenovo/HP/Compaq/Toshisba/ACER to me.

Looks like Acer. Probably just trying to show cross-compatibility with MobileMe.

Apple even uses Windows to demo MobileMe on their site in the walkthrough video. Threw me off for a second, but then I realized what they were trying to do.

He wasn't pointing it out; he was asking WHAT BRAND of PC it is.

I wasn't answering his question, I was just making a statement. (and upping my post count)

It's a render, not a photograph. It could be an artistic version of a generic PC, based loosely on a real life model.

I'm going with HP/Compaq. It doesn't look like a Lenovo due to the bump-ons on the screen frame, hinge design, and the multicolored silver/black base. Could be Gateway.
