If you could bring back any old Apple product...

[yankeefan24]

I would say (because I'm a laptop person), bring back the TiBook, Intel Core Duo, and same other specs as MBP.

I also liked the iMac G4, more than the G5, but now, i don't use desktops that much, so the tibook is my vote.

 

[mark!]

Give me one of these with the dual (or single) core duo & I'll buy it for $3000!
With 2 GB of RAM & a 7200 RPM hard drive with 120 GB of space.
No integrated graphics please.
thanks.

have it by monday? k thanks.

haha jk. but seriously that would be AWESOME.


EDIT: this picture is not mine, I found it on a quick google images search.

Easy:
iMac G4 but with the core-duo and such upgrades inside.

 

[Kuru Kuru]

Bring back Newton! And HyperCard!

Yes! I remember when my middle school actually included HyperCard in their computer course. And well, I did stuff with it constantly anyway. HyperCard rocked.
But my ultimate vote does go to the Newton Its disappearance registers with me as a weird, twisted setback in the evolution of the PDA. None I have ever laid hands on can quite match it for me.

Yes, and the dogcow. <3

Performa

 

[zap2]

The Cube, with PowerMac intel Specs

AT prices of a iMac

 

[iamhammill]

Newton, or iMac G4 with the Duo.

 

[FF_productions]

Another vote for the iMac G4, really a very well designed machine. The iMac G5 is nice and all, but isn't as flexible as the G4 iMac.

 

[jaw04005]

I want the iMac G4 back and of course ... colors.

 

[jefhatfield]

a clamshell ibook...core duo...less than 4.5 lbs.

[FocusAndEarnIt]

PowerBook G3

[saturnino3]

The iMac G4.

I am never selling the iMac G4 700 from back home!!

 

[Mammoth]

Bring on the Mac Portable.. ..with Dual 2Ghz Dual Cores.

Bring on the Mac Portable.. ..with Dual 2Ghz Dual Cores.

With that kind of space, might as well make it a Quad. You'd have room for the heatsinks.

 

[blackfox]

Another vote for the Pismo PB.

Such great design. Black, curved, elegant. Modular drive bays. Ability for multiple batteries. Tray loading optical drives (not as elegant as slot-load, but less problematic). Durable. Processor on a daughtercard. Liked the 14" footprint.

Update to a core-duo, with a upgradeable GPU and higher-res screen, and it would last forever...

 

[risc]

The PPC processor... okay I couldn't care less I'm more interested in upgrades to the OS than seeing old hardware make a return.

 

[BlizzardBomb]

Why do people want the Cube? Just add a Mini to an acrylic base?

The main reasons I voted for it was because it has an upgradeable graphics card, 3 RAM slots and there's easily enough room for a proper 3.5" Hard Drive.

Some one should make this thread into a poll....

 

[jefhatfield]

Some one should make this thread into a poll....

unless you can really simplify it into a few choices, it would have too many categories

many a mac user like machines all the way back to the newton or a blue and white power mac

 

[BlizzardBomb]

Some one should make this thread into a poll....

I did think about that, but as jefhatfield said there's just far too many options and they would be very general.

Hockey puck mouse!

Bring back the hockey puck mouse! I Loved that thing.

Kidding!

It's actually the one mac product I just can't defend.

 

[Marky_Mark]

PowerBook Duo 230 - a lovely little machine, and that motorised dock was a piece of art. It was the first Mac I actually parted with money for, all others before having been college or employer provided. Man, I loved that machine. Had it for years, before passing it on to my parents, who still have it now, along with an iMac Indigo and a POS Compaq 'thing'.

 

[aquajet]

Bring back the Mac Plus. Except make it out of Aluminium.

Apple could market it as the first sub-$20 Mac.

I'd agree. Duos were amazing; all the notebook features you wanted on the road, and it just got better once you were in the docking station.
