You serve no real purpose.

People are trying to give the OP ideas for his laptop.



The whole Banana thing is quite simple... Apple uses... an apple. So you draw a Banana or orange or pear in a similar fashion, thus, succeeding in mocking Apple. What's not to get lol?

IMO do a pear.

Yes, but why a banana, and now an orange?

Oooo yeah, an orange would look good on that lol. You should show some kinda motion of cutting a stem off, and saying "This is not an Apple."

I have a super cheesy quote:

"Apples can be eaten. Windows? Not so much."
Apples are nice the first few days, but then quickly turn rotten. Not much you can do with it then. Windows, doesnt spoil, can always be changed, AND...you can game without the use of anohter program

Yeah an orange fits perfectly....Its always "thats apples and oranges" not "apples and bananas" plus it fits the color scheme. I think thats actually awesome, you should get that trademarked. SERIOUSLY!

There are a couple of reasons I chose a banana versus a pear or an orange:

1. My wife likes watching cheesy Nickelodeon shows like Drake and Josh, iCarly, and Zoey 101. All of these shows already parody Apple with "Pear" computers.

2. Bananas are very easily identified. With an orange, it might be a bit harder to identify as a small logo on a laptop lid. You can't mistake a banana so easily.
