CURVED/labs' 2015 Take on the Classic Mac Design

By Rain Noe - January 16, 2015

No, it ain't real, but we'd love to see it if it were. German website CURVED/labs worked up this concept design for an anniversary edition of the original Macintosh, echoing that machine's shape while flaunting the thinness possible with 2015 technology. Of course some of the design elements make no sense—if you can even find a physical disk to stick into that slot, does it just fall out of the back?—but it's still pretty cool to see.

Aha, upon closer inspection, the slot in the front is meant to take an SD card on the right side, meaning the bulk of the slot is just to echo what it once was. Reminds me of the fake hoodscoops on certain cars from Detroit.

I take it the 'floppy" slot is mostly for show, though tucking the SD card slot in there is a nice touch. I imagine the base could be weighted enough, but who would settle for 9in screen in 2015?

Neat idea...but it seems really front-heavy. It almost looks like a gentle poke from behind could send it toppling forward.

The floppy disk slot accepts a SD card, so there's nothing to fall out of the back. :)
