That's awesome! I think that's the 12" G4 - still my favorite laptop ever, in terms of looks and form factor.

  That generation of Apple laptops was my tech awakening. I always thought of computers as tools just for office work and nothing I'd ever want to use. But one day I sat down in front of a G4 iBook and was like, man, this thing is beautiful. And it's pretty fun to use. I got an iMac a couple weeks after that and it set me on my programming career. And just looking at that picture in the article, that keyboard is beautiful. Apple truly had some incredible design sense. It's very unfortunate how rough their design decisions have been the past few years.

      They had to learn from the experts. /s Though, i find the Compaq cases much better looking than what Apple offers today (except Mac Pro).
