The amazing, fake Macintoshes of NanoRaptor

None of these are real... but if they were... I would buy each and every one of them.

What you are about to see is a gallery of Apple Macintosh computers.

Some of the most beautiful and wonderful Macintosh computers of all time.

And not a single one of them is real.

These are all the creations of Dana Sibera (also known as @NanoRaptor), an astoundingly talented designer who has created an alternate Universe filled with the Macintosh models that could (nay… should) have been.

Some of them are downright silly. Some are highly practical and (quite honestly) should have been made by Apple. But all of them, every single one, is beautiful in its own right.

“The PowerBook G3 Quattro was fitted with four 300Mhz PowerPC G3 Processors, enabling it to boot four operating systems at once. A favourite of admins who wanted to show off, working examples rarely appear – most are still in active use.”

Macintosh PowerFriend (Note to Apple: This is the Macintosh laptop that I want.)

“Best mouse I've ever used - Kensington Twin Turbomouse.” (Technically this isn’t a Mac… but the idea of a double trackball is too awesome to not include.)

“Probably the best looking PowerBook made, the Wallstreet G3, and its accompanying PowerPod.”

Or how about an OS8 / OS9 watch? I would buy one for each wrist.

“The Power Macintosh 8100/80V was praised for its high-quality 6" built-in widescreen trinitron, but fell short of a five-mouse score from MacWorld magazine due to its "..apparent complete lack of any audio capabilities whatsoever."“

This is only the tip of the iceberg. NanoRaptor has created a small mountain of 100% not real Macintoshes (among other types of computers). If you still use Twitter, I highly recommend checking out her work. It is fabulous.

Now share this with everyone. The whole world needs to see these. Especially the folks at Apple.
