There is something about LEDs on metal parts that is very “sci-fi cool” to me.
To pick one category, status indicators on older Dell Latitudes and Macbook Pros.
These were small, pleasant, and very useful.
The “breathing“ pattern is also amazing. So simple, yet nice.

- manaskarekar 6y agoHaha, that's classic. Reminds me, Dell Workstations have multiple numbered LEDs on the front panel that pretty much describe an error in binary.
- flareback 6y agoThe indicator light for the macbook pro camera is an example of an led used correctly. Off when the camera is off and on to show that the camera is on.
