Plexiglass-Encased Desktop Computers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Apple Mac mini Concept Highlights a Pop of Color

— August 31, 2021 — Tech
This Apple Mac mini concept has been designed by Qocept Graphics as a rendering of what a next-generation version of the desktop computer could look like in the near future. The computer maintains a compact design that measures in at just 13.5cm in both length and width, while also featuring a thickness of 3cm to position it as the thinnest Mac yet. The aluminum casing on the computer is imagined in several chromatic finish options and paired with a thin acrylic cover to help with heat dissipation and overall style aesthetics.

The Apple Mac mini concept is imagined with four USB-C ports that could be easily accessed thanks to the system's compact design that allows it to be easily incorporated right onto the top of a workstation.
