It was very nice to handle.

Obviously, it was giant by today's standards, but you know, 2001, it was a long time ago.

That was a good laptop, and it gave a lot of people a good impression.

Obviously, I don't think that one held up.

In the long run, like physically speaking, as well as these aluminum ones will because the plastic bodies were creaky.

There was the ones that got the yellow staining on them.

Some of them could smell weird.

Like we have come a long way in material science since then.

But for the time, I think a lot of people have a nice impression of this, which was also a small, very rounded, adorable laptop put into a market where it stood out for those qualities.

Not good.

When you first mentioned this, I thought, does it have, because I was thinking like, oh, no inverted T. Does it have the old style?

You guys don't remember this, but the old style for arrows, arrow keys on Apple keyboards for a time in front, certain models.

Yes, they were all in a line.

I'm like, surely it doesn't have that, but no, it's got the, before Apple made half-size left and right arrow keys, there was a phase where Apple was doing full-size left and right arrow keys.

It's still in a technically a T shape, but the full-size left and right arrow keys made it so you couldn't feel where the left and right were as easily.

Luckily, Apple snapped out of that eventually, like so many other things, but framework has gone with the full-size ones.

I do wonder if there is a...

sort of reliability and quality angle to that angle get it because like the Apple's one of the things that makes Apple's laptops stand out from the competition even the very cheapest Neo is they usually have pretty nice hinges like the whole thing where you can open it with one finger and the whole laptop won't lift but also whatever angle you put it at it will stay there pretty well but it's also not hard to move it's just getting that right balance between it's easy enough to move but it also stays where you put it and you can also do one finger opening and

There's a lot that goes into the hinge.

All right.
