The first Macintosh, released in 1984, was an attractive design that embodied future technology. Even today, there are many Apple enthusiasts who say this design is their favorite.

It has been more than 30 years since the first Macintosh was released to the public, and Apple is now marketing its successor, the iMac. The latest iMac is technically brilliant, but it's a far cry from the designs of yesteryear, as CURVED/labs notes.

Thirty years ago, Steve Jobs wanted to make computers more user-friendly. Thirty years ago, Steve Jobs wanted to make computers more user-friendly, so he gave the original Macintosh a 'face.

"CURVED/labs-Mac" was created based on the concept of what if the original Macintosh were brought back to life in the modern age? CURVED/labs created this desktop PC based on the concept of what if the original Macintosh were brought back to life in the modern age. It is a beautiful, nostalgic design, but equipped with modern technology.


CURVED/labs-Mac was created using components from the 11-inch MacBook Air. For this reason, its interior is equipped with an Intel i7 CPU, a 128 GB SSD, and 8 GB of memory.


The most appealing aspect of this machine is that while it is loaded with such state-of-the-art technology, its appearance is reminiscent of the original Macintosh from 1984.


On the CURVED/labs-Mac, the FD drive is replaced by an SD card slot; the SD card is inserted at the end of the slot. It looks a bit cute, like Peco with his tongue sticking out.


It seems unlikely that CURVED/labs-Mac will influence Apple's upcoming iMac. But if it were designed like this, I might want one. It's a design that makes me feel that way.
