  The RGB features on PCs are glued on and honestly rather ridiculous. There's a difference between glued-on extras - which are more like car customisation - and stylish integrated design.

If you add RGB to something black and ribbed, it's still black and ribbed - but now it has RGB stuck on it. The curves, colour wraparound, and white translucent plastic of the iMac were the opposite of that. Everything was integrated into a whole - which was actually a nice metaphor for where Apple were trying to go in general.

    I think at no time did we have as much choice as now for case styles. Classic and stylish wooden cases, colorful cubes, lab like half transparent white boxes, trapezoidal snow themed open cases [0], basically everything under the sun in a tower format. Ironically, except for macs. Macs only come in solid metalic colors, at best. [0] https://ja.aliexpress.com/item/1005003555409345.html https://ja.aliexpress.com/item/1005003555409345.html
