Hackjob

Tim Cook recently announced that he was stepping down as the CEO of Apple, so I figured it would be fitting to take a look at one of the more infamous products that was released under his stewardship: the 12-inch MacBook. This laptop had one goal in mind: to be as thin and compact as humanly possible while still offering a full-fledged macOS experience. Did it actually deliver? Well...

The 1990s were a truly miserable time for regular computers. Everything on the market was just beige. Even Apple: usually known for having an easily recognizable lineup, marketed an army of computers that were all damn near imperceptible from one another. This all went on until Steve Jobs went on a fat trimming spree, reducing the company's confusing array of home desktops to just one stylish option: the iMac. It made waves with it's futuristic and colorful design, making the beige-boxes look like yesterday's leftovers. The machine was such a hit that Apple decided, why don't we make one for the road? Enter the iBook, the world's most refreshingly ridiculous laptop.
