CURVED/labs-Mac concept brings the original Mac up to date
What you see in the image above is not a real Mac, which is a bit of a pity because a lot of Mac fans would buy one in a heartbeat. Instead, it's a concept worked up by German tech site Curved that takes the original friendly "toaster" Mac design and brings it into the 21st century.
While the designers used the original Mac design as a reference for the look of the device, the components would be those used in the current MacBook Air with a few additions. The design uses an 11.6-inch touch screen, although it can be controlled with a mouse, touchpad and keyboard. Using 128GB SSD flash storage, 4 or 8GB of RAM, and the "latest i7 chip from Intel", the body is one sleek, curving echo of the original Mac.
My favorite touch in this design concept is using what would have been the 3.5-inch floppy disk drive slot on the original Mac to provide a space for plugging in SD cards - without having to reach around to the side or back of the device as with current Macs.
The CURVED/labs-Mac has the same friendly look as the original Mac with all of the amazing features that we love on our new Macs and iOS devices. Sign me up, and be sure to take a look at the original page (in English and German) for even more great photos.
