Mac Pro Design

On the Mac Pro, the G4 Cube and Their Shared Vent Design (512pixels):

As I have a G4 Cube in my collection, I decided to do have a closer look. I pulled the core out of mine and removed the video card to take a closer look at this area from the back:

I really like how the Mac Pro looks. The combination of stainless and brushed steel looks great. The machining is very impressive. I hope this design language will trickle down to other products in their lineup.

It's interesting to also compare the industrial design between the lauded (plastic) G4 Cube and the (stainless steel) Mac Pro. Apple has come a long way.
