Apple's best designs by Jony Ive, according to the AppleInsider staff
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the iMac G4. The angle-poise display that seems to float in the air is an ergonomic dream, while the base with the CD drive that seems to poke out its tongue is both cute and beautiful.
As an aside, I still have mine sitting away, it actually has a manufacturing fault where the silkscreened port icons on the back are in the wrong place, so it has the wrong emblem over the ports.
I wonder if that makes it a valuable rarity :-) -

Editorial: Reporting about the MacBook Pro is failing at a faster rate than the butterfly ...
foregoneconclusion said:All the same types of complaints that people level at the butterfly mechanism keyboards are replicated by PC laptops that don't use it. Simple internet searches prove it. None of the major PC brands for laptops provide any numbers on how often those types of duplicate keyboard failures occur either, similar to Apple. Considering those two facts, it's not all that convincing to treat butterfly failures as if they're somehow out of line with the rest of the industry. The keyboard is one of the most heavily used external pieces of hardware on any brand of laptop, so it makes sense that it could be one of the more common areas of repair in terms of percentages. Anecdotally, I've had more than one scissor keyboard fail for a desktop Mac, both at work and in home use.
