The new M1 MBPs look amazing, like the TiBooks of old. I'm not fond of the curved "pretending to be super thin" MacBooks of the generation immediately previous.
To each their own. I would have much preferred a G4 Powerbook look for my money, but design is subjective. There were people out there who would legitimately defend the trashcan Mac Pro at the time.
But isn't that what we got? The only thing that doesn't look like the PowerBook G4 or the first MacBook Pro is the colour of the keyboard (black instead of silver).
Sorry, I meant G3 Powerbook. My retro Macbook knowledge is not very well-maintained. I always just called the G4 the "2007 model", which was decidedly vague.
