Best looking Apple Notebook?

[elvisidal]

Non-unibody MacBook Pro/PowerBook G4. It looks way better than the unibody in my opinion.

I can't second that enough.

I know I'm going to show my age but I always thought the Powerbook 520c/540c (Blackbirds) were really sharp.

I had one -520c- in college (yes, I'm that old) and people were always commenting on it.

I know its really, really outdated now but at the time it looked like the computer Captain Picard had in his "Ready Room".


Just my 2 bits worth,
-P

Those came out around 95 if I remember correctly. I was working in a Mom and Pop Computer shop at that time.

You are not that old at all, what mid 30s?

I think about that a lot too....it seems most people who don't have the black want the black and most people who have the black want the silver.

u guys are crazy for not thinking the macbook air is the nicest LOOKING laptop ever! sure its not the best laptop but it is the best LOOKING laptop, and if u guys cant admit that u guys are just haters.

I think the 15" MacBook Pro is the best looking computer. However it MUST have the high res antiglare/matte screen, or else. So the 15" MacBook Pro (Unibody) with a matte/antiglare screen is the best looking Macintosh or even computer IMO.

Thanks, I don't feel as old now! ;-) I just turned 40...

You know this is the MacBook Pro section right? Everyone here is bias to the MBP!

It really doesn't look that much different from the MBP... I do agree that it looks pretty cool, but I don't like that the thumbscoop goes through the body, or the mouse button.

I agree with everyone who has said the Titanium G4, those were sick, as well as the blackbook. I wish they would bring that back with a black aluminum MB or MBP. Now that would be cool.

Calm down, MBP enthusiastic funs.
If this thread is posted in the MB or MBA section, a majority will vote for MB or MBA instead of MBP!!!

True. It's akin to asking people on MacRumors.com if they prefer Mac OS or Windows, or conversely, asking the same quesiton on a Microsoft forum. Same question, different majority vote results.

The thumb scoop?

The thumb scoop?

The little notch that lets you open the screen.

Too bad the poll doesn't offer an "OTHER" option because like some others here I agree that the Titanium Powerbook was the best looking machine ever from Apple, however the Unibody Antiglare Macbook Pros are the best built.

 

[boogiebuddy01]

agreed

Titanium PowerBook.

i had the 12inch titanium, by far the best size and design of the lot so far

Actually, that would be the aluminum PowerBook that you had. As there never was a 12" titanium PowerBook.

1. BlackBook

= +1

 

[Heilage]

I like the unibodys, they look great and I love using them, but there is something inherently beautiful about the old MacBook Pros. I think they look better from a purely visual standpoint.

 

[Sneakz]

Although I never owned one, the BlackBook was the best looking.

 

[Eddyisgreat]

12" powerbook. Iconic for various reasons.

 

[Str8edgepunker]

Titanium PowerBook.

Congratulations, you managed to end this thread on the second post. The Titanium Powerbook is the best looking Notebook period. Heck it ushered in the era of widescreen laptops, which seem to keep getting wider every year.

 

[iPhone1]

I really loved the blackbook but the best looking portable Mac is the MacBook Air. Just can't get any better than that.

Like others, I prefer the style of the older MBP's/PB's over the current unibody.

 

[chris975d]

I'd vote for the 12" PowerBook as well. Just a great looking machine. I kick myself for selling mine. But...that thing kept great resell value. Sold it last year for $650!

 

[JacaByte]

Any blackbook from any year, followed by the 2010 MB and the MBA.
