Review: Throwboy's Mac-Shaped Pocket Pillows Are a Fun Desktop Accessory

[JacquesleMac]

There really are some miserable buggers reading MacRumors. They’re fun little pillows/cushions that look like old Macs! Not everyday is an Apple launch day! And if you hadn’t noticed, western democracy is going to hell in a handcart, so we need a little light relief!

I’d buy one if they were available in the UK.

Now let’s all be nice.

Who is sporting the punch pink braided solo band in the picture?

The pillows look plush but, not a buyer at $15 plus shipping. I would do $10 total.

Me. Also, I added a coupon to the review for 15% off if that helps anyone.

Counterpoint: no, they are not.

How does he get around Apple trademarks? Especially for the OS Logo?

These look pretty cool

We most certainly do not. My wife keeps buying them and I keep throwing the bloody things out. 😛

Maybe if you stop throwing them out ...

Cute. But I’m holding out for the dongle and 5W wall wart pillows. Totally iconic.

‘Those bezels though! It’s been 20 or 30 years and still the same design?! I’ll just wait for the Apple Silicon version of those!’

I purchased that larger Apple ][ pillow a while back because, well, it was an Apple ][ and that's the machine that sucked me into the Apple vortex. I liked it well enough that I also wanted a "toaster Mac" but didn't want to clutter my house with a second full size pillow. So the Classic Mac "Pocket Pillow" was spot on. I'm surprisingly fond of both. Nostalgia....

That's not a desk accessory. That's clutter.

Have a couple of these. The big pillows are also very nice - we have a ton.

How do you clean in that corner behind the couch?

How do you clean in that corner behind the couch?

There is 6 feet of gap between the right portion of the couch and the wall/sliding glass doors behind it. So I just walk over there and vacuum.
