Are These the Sexiest Computers Ever?

by Warren Riddle on May 17, 2009 at 01:14 PM


When considering a computer purchase, many consumers focus entirely on function, all the while foregoing form and appearance. For the few who truly appreciate the aesthetic value and beauty of technology, Boing Boing has compiled a list of 'Ten Beautiful Computers,' and oh how gorgeous they are.

Some are historical choices, like the Antikythera Mechanism -- a complex, sextant-like analog computer found in ruins and built over 2,000 years ago. Others, like the Apple Power Macintosh G4 Cube, which was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, are a bit more obvious.








It's difficult to find fault with any of their selections, but we can think of a few machines they forgot: They may not inspire much awe now, but the original iMacs were a welcome and colorful departure from their boring and clunky predecessors, the Macintosh Performas. Other alluring (but unmentioned) candidates include the Brazil Computer and the aptly named Vaio Art models.

If you know of any other notable absences, or if you've created your own seductive computer masterpiece, please, shine your artistic light upon us. [From: Boing Boing]
