Very true. Consider that this is the main Laptops* page on samsung.com: http://www.samsung.com/ca/consumer/office/mobile-computing
It's as if they want their laptops to be as generic as possible.
* They don't even have a Laptops page. They have an ATIV page which bundles everything from mice to all-in-ones under the brand.

Dear God, that's a terrible brand name. If I wasn't computer savvy, I'd think 'ATIV' is some new data transfer protocol.
Compare that with this: http://www.apple.com/macbook-air/ and you can see why Apple is pulling ahead of everyone

A perfect demonstration of this problem is when you search Amazon for "Asus zenbook".
It gives me a hundred results with various SKUs and model years and I have NO idea as a consumer which one is the best fit for me.
I know Apple makes two laptops: MBAs and MBPs.
I don't know what all laptops Dell or Lenovo make. I don't know if they have ultrabooks, and if they do, what are their names.
When I buy a new Windows laptop, I sort by specs, not brand. I avoid a few brands (HP, Acer), but as long as I get good enough specs at a good enough price, I'll buy anything.
I don't care about specific models/brands in Dell, Samsung or Lenovo because I don't even know if they exist, and if they do, why I should give a crap about them.
