Well, I voted for G4 Powerbook (which is what I have). I just watched the MWSF when they were introduced and, damn, they look as good as the day they were released. It seems like a timeless design.
Okay, first of all Eugene, Quicksilver = awesomeness.
Also, why do you include white iBooks (not an iEra Mac, as it lacks the colors) but not the colored iBooks? Hello!!?!?!??!! KEY LIME iBook all the way baby!!!!!
Most people - including myself - consider the "iEra" to be from 1998 to the present (the first iMac, the Bondi one, to today, where stuff bearing the "i" is STILL being produced).
So, anything from, what, August 1998 until TODAY is fair game...
Bondi tray-loading iMac to G4 iBooks...and all points, colors, versions, specs, etc. in between.
AND, mind you, the product (the Cube, the PowerBooks or the G4 or G5) doesn't have to have an "i" in their name. They simply came about during this cool-ass period of gorgeous hardware design. Anything produced by Apple, 1998-present, is the iEra. Beige stuff doesn't count, or anything with Quadra, LC or a "II" in the name.
Colors alone don't define the iEra. Plastics, swoops, curves, colors, translucence, USB, FireWire, "thinking different", AirPort, hockey puck mice, optical mice, Bluetooth mice, aluminum, Titanium, ice, graphite, digital hub, stripes, easy-access internals, Bluetooth, iPods, G4, G5, Cinema Display, iSight, etc. does.
Leaving the Cube out of this poll is just horrible. That shouldn't be done! The Cube isn't just the best looking iEra Mac, it's the best looking computer ever!
I'm somewhat surprised to see the lack of votes for the B/W G3. That was a sweet computer. I always loved that you could see G3 through the side of it. And that was the basis for every tower design that Apple has had since than. It really started it all.
