Apple’s Macintosh was originally launched in 1984, and over the years it has established itself as an iconic and instrumental part of the desktop computer landscape. Ian Zelbo, a New York-based teenage who taught himself 3D rendering via YouTube videos during the pandemic, has come up with a design concept that infuses the nostalgic aesthetics of the very first Mac with current computer technology.

The ‘Macintosh Reborn’s’ overall form, with off-white hard case and colourful Apple logo, pretty much stays the same as the original, though the silhouette becomes sleeker, featuring an angled display with a base similar to that of the current iMac. The computer is also much thinner thanks to modern display technology, but the screen does have a notch at the top that hosts the front camera, similar to current iPhones. As floppy disks have long become history, the disk drive has been replaced by a connection hub with an SD card slot plus USB-C and lightning ports.
