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 all for 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 already know, 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 operating a sweepstakes to present away 50 of those laptops.
General, the fiftieth Anniversary Floor seems to be candy… however I can’t assist however assume it wouldn’t look significantly better as a MacBook. Think about subsequent yr, when Apple marks its fiftieth anniversary, the corporate points a brand new black coloration–not Midnight, not Area 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 authentic Apple brand with Sir Isaac Newton sitting beneath an Apple tree, created by Ronald Wayne. That may be superior.
Apple has been identified to let anniversaries cross by, nevertheless 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 known as 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.
