More Than Lisa and Less Than iMac

I was never good at history lessons, however Steve Jobs has made it hard to forget the impact of the first desktop computer “Lisa”, showcased by Apple. Three decades later, we have seen the evolution of design translate to the current version of iMac, and it has none of the visible cues found on the original. CURVED/labs has made an attempt to bridge this gap with their concept “Lisa” inspired iMac Concept.

Details:

  1. The technological basis for the CURVED/labs-Mac are components of a current Macbook Air with an 11-inch screen.
  2. It features a touchscreen: You can choose whether to control it via mouse and keyboard or directly type directly on the 11.6 inch touchscreen.
  3. An SSD flash memory with 128 gigabytes of storage is build in, either 4 or 8 gigabytes of memory are available.
  4. The CPU is the latest i7 chip from Intel.
  5. The casing is made of the same high quality as used for the aluminum Macbooks, iPhones and iPads.
  6. The back of the Mac features an illuminated Apple logo.
  7. At the spot located under the screen, where the drive for 3.5-inch disk sat, you will now find a slot for SD cards, the FaceTime camera, speakers and a microphone.
  8. The Mac supports all popular WiFi standards and Bluetooth, the new USB 3.0 port and a Lightning port.
  9. A built-in battery allows you to set up the Mac at different work locations on the fly.
  10. Like the current iPhones and iPads the Mac would be available in silver, gray and gold – including color-matched keyboards and mice.

Mighty Cyclone

As trendy as a Smartwatch gets, the Cyclone is an outdoor device inspired by Nike Mercurial Vapor football boot. The similarities are drawn from the dynamic shape and intense colors of the footwear. We love it for its very cool design cues; refreshingly different from the usual.

A Silky Disposition

You have to hand it to Samsung and Apple’s forward thinking design team that made it acceptable for us to have phones that are a cross between a tablet and well … a phone! While the new forms give us a gawky looking device, The Bionic Silkworm Inspired Phone takes us back to the basic shape of an ergonomic handset. Designed to make both children and the elderly comfortable with its use, the LED display and infrared sensor technology make it as tech-savvy as it gets. So which will you prefer… a phablet or a phone?
