The G4 Cube had issues but I honestly liked it as an experimental design from a well-known computer brand. It was a breath of fresh air among the monotonous beige or gray towers of the time. And it wasn't the only G4 computer you could get, as you could've bought the tower (which I ended up doing at the time).
For me, the biggest miss is the touch bar and butterfly keyboards. Those single-handily prevented me from upgrading from my 2012 Retina MBP.

- sjwright 7y agoThe G4 Cube was a good idea but was overpriced. Yes it was smaller and prettier than the G4 tower, but it was also far less expandable. It was priced to be a 2000’s-era executive desk ornament, and I suspect they simply misjudged the market for the Cube. But the idea was solid and a few years later a substantially similar product was released to massive success—the Mac mini.
