Ondrej Holzman The legendary Macintosh from 1984 has changed significantly in its more than three decades of life, and it no longer has much in common with its latest successor. In its original form, however, now they reminisced the designers at Curved Labs who came up with the futuristic concept of the original Macintosh.
The German designers explain that they decided to create a truly fresh concept of what the original Macintosh might look like today, due to the fact that even though Apple continues to create computers from the future, it often forgets its older, equally groundbreaking designs over the years.
Therefore, the futuristic form of the original Macintosh was created, which started the successful era of Apple computers, and the important thing is that the designers were inspired by the current Apple computers, and therefore, according to their concept, the modern Macintosh of 1984 could be built.

The basis of the Mac from Curved Labs is the current 11-inch MacBook Air, which has been transformed into a touch computer. Therefore, you can choose whether you would control the ultra-thin Macintosh with a design "leg" classically using a keyboard and mouse, or by touch.
Although the Mac is much thinner by design and made of the same quality aluminum unibody as the current machine, many elements from the original model have been retained in a way. Instead of a drive for 3,5-inch floppy disks, there is a slot for SD cards, and next to it you will also find a FaceTime camera, speakers and a microphone.
With a built-in battery, the nearly twelve-inch Macintosh would be portable, and it would come in the same silver, gray, and gold colors as current iPhones and iPads. You would then find a glowing Apple logo on the back. What do you think about the futuristic concept?
Cool, only those 11 inches seem small to me, at least 17″, and Apple has been revolutionizing for years, but only evolution. so it will not deliver anything similar to the market.
Nice, but I doubt it would be stuffed with guts. Hello
Very likely, due to the wrong center of gravity, it would tip forward and fall straight onto the display. It's nitpicking, but these unexpected details can often kill an otherwise very interesting design concept.
that's nonsense, making it solid wouldn't be such a big problem, it wouldn't be the first construction that would hold "miraculously"
for me it would be an ideal iPad holder for people who type on an external keyboard
That had to work. and at the same time such nonsense. what?
A disk in a device that is max 1 cm thin...hmmm
And how thin is the MacBook Air?! It also has a disk…
What would he look like today?
Just look at the current iMac.
EPIC FAIL (for attack, not for iMac)
It's a great job. I like it very much. I don't understand the permanent human negativism.
I don't understand the point of this act at all, it's like putting TFT displays and a touchpad in a Mercedes from the 50s.
