Super fun stuff from Curved Labs. Khoi Vinh writes,
This concept design from Curved Labs pays tribute to the original 1984 Macintosh design by reconfiguring a MacBook Air into a novel, beautiful new form factor. […]
I particularly like the way these product photos are shot with a gauzy, full-color sheen and dark background that’s very reminiscent of similar commercial photography from the 1980s. That’s follow-through.
Check out the whole story. I still want to hug that original Mac, built as it is like my little fireplug of a son.

Hate to nitpick, but what’s the deal with the slot on the front? The 3-1/2″ length has no function and is completely decorative, which seems to be contrary to the Apple aesthetic. The SD portion of the slot is theoretically functional, though I’m a bit skeptical that the depth of the structure is sufficient to read an SD card. Steve Jobs would send the designers back for another try.
