Also I'm glad the coffee mug says coffee, otherwise I wouldn't know it's coffee
This, circa 1977.
I kind of wish this design was used elsewhere but I'm sure google still has patent over it
>>55585674
Agreed. BBClassic all the way.

Probably the more recent iMacs, if I'm being honest. I wouldn't buy one, and I don't know much about their actual performance and OS or whatever else, but on the surface they look nice.
>>55587473
Some company has a similar HTPC case design but I forget who. Asrock? In Win? ECS? Can't remember who. But yeah, first thing I thought of you as that they were using old abandoned shells because it looked nearly identical.
>>55587384
what is this, seriously, I want something smaller than my x220
>>55585609
Surface Pro 4.
Looks like a luxury hardcover notebook when closed.
MacBook Air, if I'm being honest. I'd never buy one though.
Google Pixel 2
>>55587532
I think it was Asrock but yeah I can't remember now. I'm just a sucker for all these round designs.
>>55585609
The iMac G4. A marmite computer, you either love it or hate it. I've got one for nostalgic reasons.
This baby here. 90's needs to come back, we need FUN back in bitshifting device design. Remember original iMac? Good times. I'd pay a ton for transcluent plastic lappy.

>>55592355
I couldn't get any use out of the TrackPoint II due to slowness and no center button for scrolling, and I can't stand using a mouse without a tenkeyless keyboard because of ergonomics, so it just wasn't useful to me. I love buckling springs and I just wish I could have a buckling spring keyboard with a TrackPoint IV, but that's a dream that will never be reality.
I had a Space Saver II at one point also (tenkeyless keyboard with TrackPoint IV) and that was fantastic in form factor and TrackPoint but the keyswitches were terrible.
I have one of these.
>>55588821
sexy. i still have this one minus the remote thingy
>>55593258
but they're not as aesthetic
>>55593382
sure they are, there's lots of pretty nice stuff in the x86 space if you look around
or just design your own, it would actually probably be cheaper to pay a hundred or two to have some custom plastics made for a higher quality case than spend $500+ on a refurb system just to hack it up

it's meant to use web based applications for basically everything (specifically google drive). It would only increase confusion to increase the cost to do something that the chromebook brand is not meant to do
>>55597874
I know what it's meant to be but I'm saying that it could've been a good normal computer with minimal changes.
>>55589471
I used to have a eeepc
Shit kept breaking (keyboard, hard drive, speaker) and I kept repairing until it was most cost efficient (female power input, keyboard again and LCD pannel (maybe just a loose connection in the cable from the panek to the mother board)) just to buy an old thinkpad X serie.
>>55599731
Never had a problem with my eeePC 1001HA.
Had so many classic games on it and it lasts 4 hours while playing them since the Atom uses fuckall power.
Sold it for $120 earlier this year, so it's still worth as much as an X201. It's amazing how worthless Thinkpads get considering how good they are technically in all aspects.
>>55587534
>>55589028
Ugh that atom processor, fucking puke. Looks like it has great quality and aesthetics but considering those were considered underpowered when they were released over three years ago (remember moores law), I wouldn't expect it to do anything less than choke nowadays. Especially since it's running with a HDD.

>Also the real cancer in computing is the stagnation of actual improvement in favor of converting technology into fashion accessories for the masses
This is the "cancer" I'm talking about, you tolerate whatever cheap awful shit the megacorps throw at you as long as it makes your games slightly faster, you have no standards, no taste, you justify their actions to cut corners instead of innovating or making a quality, long-lasting product that feels like something more than a bunch of cheap off the shelf taiwanese parts lazily thrown into a plastic enclosure.
Form and function are not mutually exclusive, they ideally bring each other out.

I don't get what you don't like about the G5 case. Adding expansion cards work like it would for practically any other case, you press the card into the slot and secure it with a screw.
