I've been watching various Stevenotes on YouTube harking back to the days of when Jobs first returned to Apple and immediately began revitalizing the company and its product line.
If my history isn't terribly fuzzy, the Mac line went from PC-beige to translucent candy plastic, then various neutral color designs thereafter leading to today's sea of metallic silver aluminum. Which is beautiful to look at, beautiful to touch, but if I'm honest, beginning to look bland.
Bear with me here.
The iPod line has had an immense history of colorful aluminum shells and neutral color shells of different materials. Then we have the iPhone 5C. Glossy pastel plastic and I think it's beautiful. (Different market, different target of consumers).
Now I'm not saying bring back the plastic-unibody MacBook in different colors (that might be over the top - imagine that for a minute), but what if Apple were to take the enticing metallic color themes of the iPhone 5S and iPad line and try it on the MacBook line, or even an iMac? Too much? Would it stand out from the sea of Windows machines in a BestBuy store?
What do you all think?
