Obsolete for what?
I really like the aesthetics of the Atari 400/800 and not for the logo or the case design but just for the colours. The browns/yellows/oranges are quite inspiring for a bit of modern day UX.
I know they didn't sell these machines for people to steal the colour scheme from 40 years later, but I really like lots of aspects of the design including the colour or the units.
The retro tech scene I find a little weird. It is surprisingly strong and there are Youtube videos of someone changing the capacitors on these things and getting views in the millions. It is as if retro computing is the new model railway hobby or 'Airfix' of our times.
