Today in Tech History (July 19th, 2000): Apple Computer Releases the Mac G4 Cube!

The Power Mac G4 Cube was a beautifully crafted personal computer released by Apple on July 19, 2000. This computer was like Steve Jobs’ baby, as he loved the design and easy access to the inner workings of the computer. The computer was designed by Jonathan Ives. The Cube won many awards for its design. It was housed in acrylic glass and consumers could easily access the inside of the computer so that they could add cards and other memory expansions with ease. Unfortunately, the high price and fragile nature of the acrylic case doomed the computer, which only sold 150,000 units. The computer was discontinued less than a year after release.
