I daresay the power/space ratio of computers increased dramatically from 2000 to 2010 (ipad release), allowing much more elegant designs, not to mention the absolute transformation of computers from a moderately expensive specialty tool with side uses to most definitely being a common household appliance worthy of design. For comparison, here's apple's powerbook g3 from the same era: https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=powerbook+g3&hl=en&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=K5yWUO7eNIrKrAf444GQCg&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAQ&biw=1094&bih=685 https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=powerbook+g3&hl=en... (herp derp I R dell computer!) Or how about the disgusting early powerbook g4s? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:15-inch-titanium-powerbook.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:15-inch-titanium-powerbook... Looks just as tacky as apple imitators today. I'm always surprised by the lack of humbleness that apple fanatics display, forgetting apple's own history.
