Microsoft’s fiftieth anniversary was final week, and to commemorate the occasion, Microsoft revealed a fiftieth Anniversary Unique Microsoft Floor Laptop computer. Whereas I’m not concerned with such a tool, it certain does look fairly dang cool.
The laptop computer has a black case with a shiny gold Floor brand (as a result of, you understand, the fiftieth anniversary is the golden anniversary). That’s neat, however if you open the laptop computer, you’ll discover the Microsoft brand from 1975 on the backside proper of the keyboard. When the laptop computer begins up, it has a particular gold Home windows 11 wallpaper. Microsoft is working a sweepstakes to provide away 50 of those laptops.
Total, the fiftieth Anniversary Floor seems candy… however I can’t assist however assume it wouldn’t look a lot better as a MacBook. Think about subsequent yr, when Apple marks its fiftieth anniversary, the corporate points a brand new black shade–not Midnight, not House Black, however Black–with the Apple brand designed by Rob Janoff, the one on the Apple II with the six-color Apple and the “Apple” textual content brand aligned with the apple chew. Then, if you begin this particular version MacBook, you’re greeted with a particular wallpaper of the unique Apple brand with Sir Isaac Newton sitting below an Apple tree, created by Ronald Wayne. That will be superior.
Apple has been recognized to let anniversaries cross by, however it’s not with out precedent. In 2017, the iPhone X marked the tenth anniversary of the iPhone, and again in 1997, Apple unveiled particular commemorative Mac {hardware} for the corporate’s twentieth anniversary, often called the Twentieth Anniversary Mac or TAM. Will Apple shock us and make a special-edition MacBook for its fiftieth? I do know I’d purchase one, even when I needed to go into critical debt to take action.
