This product isn't any less sterile, boring and robotic. Just the opposite. It's ostentatiously sterile, boring and robotic. While also being retro, and trying very hard to look like something that might have appeared in the original Matrix movie - which was 24 years ago. Visually, it's unoriginal, which is an unforgivable design sin - literally a stock laplet with pointless metal bits stuck on which will get in the way if you're trying to use it seriously. It fails as fashion because it looks like a mess, neither cool, exotic, nor aspirational. And it fails as design because while it's - perhaps - trying to be ironic, it takes itself too seriously to be funny. And it's just not very functional.
