The colors that Apple offered the original iBook in deviated from the ones used in the iMac, so naturally I’d think the MacBook Air would get its own unique series of colors that are somewhat similar. My (rough) concept for a new MacBook Air inspired by the M1 iMac Why should the MacBook Air be any different. Also, colors are now a key part of what makes iPad Air, the iPad Air. It could benefit from fun colors, a fresh white keyboard, a larger display with thinner light gray bezels, and a refined form.

It has black bezels, a black keyboard, a silver* unibody enclosure, and a 13″ display. It looks like virtually every other Mac notebook introduced since 2008. But there’s nothing particularly playful or intriguing about its design. Technologically, the MacBook Air is already an iMac-to-go. But with this new iMac being so radically different, it’s hard not to imagine all of the ways Apple could take the MacBook Air to the next level. It’s one of the best products Apple currently sells, and it’s the absolute best consumer notebook on the market right now. The new MacBook Air with M1 is an absolute triumph. The colorful iMac G3 gave way to the colorful iBook G3 It also could’ve just been them rushing new Macs with Apple Silicon out before the end of 2020. It could’ve been to make them more approachable and familiar. I’m not entirely sure what the idea was behind keeping the existing designs. When Apple launched the first 3 M1 machines last November, they looked identical but were completely new inside. In fact, it’s hard to believe it’s part of the same product line as the previous one. The new iMac is a completely different product. We have just witnessed what Apple is able to do with Mac form factors when they’re not constrained by Intel. It should be the newest iMac, only to go. With the launch of the completely reinvented M1 iMac, I think and certainly hope we’ll see a reinvention of the MacBook Air that acts very much like the iBook. It became the de facto student notebook, the approachable and fun machine for the average user, and it went where other notebooks weren’t willing to go. It was indeed everything the iMac was, in a laptop form factor, and it was available in a range of equally fun vibrant colors. After the original iMac took the world by storm with its gorgeous and unconventional colorful design, Apple decided to package an iMac-to-go and call it the iBook.
