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

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.

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.

haha jk. but seriously that would be AWESOME.


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

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 :D
 
The G3 iMac!

Available in Graphite and Snow :-

Upgrade to Intel Processors,
Built in Bluetooth and Airport Ready,
Flat CRT screen like the eMac (not curved) and also better quality monitors,
USB 2 Ports,
Built in iSight and Frontrow,
64 MB Graphics Card,
Faster RAM, and 3 RAM slots instead of 2,
7200 RPM Harddrives
 
PowerBook G3
Core Duo
2GB RAM
120GB HD
basically same specs as now a day MBP's but with the PB G3's design :)

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

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. :)

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

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