Yeah it’s surprisingly ugly. Maybe it’ll grow on me but I can’t help but think this is the first post-Ive laptop

- asdff 5y agoHow often are you looking at the bottom of you laptop?
- hardwaregeek 5y agoNot often but an aspect I respect about Apple is how they get the details right even when you don't see them. A profile of Ive mentions how they've thought about stuff like the color of the internal chips: > One afternoon, Ive and Bart André removed the bottom panel of a MacBook laptop, revealing black and silver components arranged, with unnecessary orderliness, on a matte black circuit board. Ive looked down happily. “This is such an extraordinarily beautiful thing,” he said. André noted that, in a competitor’s computer, the board would be green. He sounded embarrassed on behalf of that other machine. On the same table was a plastic model of an existing Apple headphone—an EarPod—the size of a golf driver. Having ugly feet on a laptop does betray a slight change in values. And yes, it's minor but it's like the extraneous requests on a rock star's rider. If they're not getting this right, what else are they missing?
