Okay, that's really sexy looking. I love the faux floppy drive slot for the SD card.

Just me, or did they take an iPad, load OSX on it and put it in a fancy stand? I think it looks cool, but I expect innovation from Apple as well.. Not just good looks. Now if you told me they slammed an i7 w/8GB of ran and a 256GB SSD and a slot load blu-ray into that, I'd be impressed.. lol

I didnt like the original Mac look, and I think this looks terrible as well.

Can you imagine trying to performing maintenance on that device?

Can't say I'm a fan of the design. Looks like it's ready to fall forward.

Oh man, where's the love? If it wasn't ridiculously over priced (safe assumption), it's something I'd put on display in the livingroom or patio, for my use and for guests. I love the semi-retro look. Maybe it's because I was a fan of the original Mac.
It's hard to understand from the literature on the website, but this wasn't made by Apple. It's a concept design by a company called Curved/Labs. Since it's on display at an Apple store, I assume it has the blessing of Apple. I am also assuming it will be for sale, otherwise why show different color options?
The literature SEEMS to imply that it's built around the same components used in a current Macbook Air.

They'll overprice it.
