Don't forget the upgrade factor. I find it totally ridiculous that you're forced to buy external enclosures for pro-grade equipment instead of just having a nice, toolless access panel for upgrades. I miss the tower Mac Pro, which looked beautiful partly because it looked like a practical, industrial tool designed for easy physical access. Not everything needs to look physically seamless...


The "cheese grater" was a beautiful machine. Sleek, serious, industrial. It looked powerful and cool.

Cool enough that a lot of people still reuse them as PC towers now.

The trash can looks like... A trash can. I'm kinda curious what they'll be going for in the next one, if they've learned something.
