(Which is also a simplification. Cray and SGI had already done colorful computers. NeXT already wasn't beige. Apple's own computers, IMHO, did much nicer-looking things with beige frontplates than most PCs. But Apple had a certain "this is how a computer looks from now on" influence, and almost everyone else was like "oh, duh, yeah, they're right". Perhaps the most lasting, so far, was the 2008 MacBook Air; it continues to be the default look of laptops even today. Black bezel, silvery-y topcase.) |

Completely agree. Even moreso than color, where Apple has innovated is with materials. Double-shot plastics, CNC'd metal. When I first held the original MacBook Air (at MacWorld 2008) I could not beleive what I was feeling... it was so sharp, so precise, as if the metal had been minted!
And now every Mac is made this way. Wow. |
