A German tech site gives us an idea, cramming modern Apple tech into the 30-year-old classic facade of the iconic Mac form factor.
The site said it fit the components of a current Macbook Air with an 11-inch screen into the 1984-style Mac.
"[W]e have transformed it into a touchscreen: You can choose whether to control it via mouse and keyboard or directly type directly on the 11.6 inch touchscreen," Curved.de said.
In place of the 1984 Mac's floppy or hard drive is an SSD flash memory with 128 GB of storage. The RAM was upgraded to 4 or 8 GB.
The Motorola chip that served as the brains of the original Mac is replaced with a high-end i7 one from Intel.
As for the casing, it is made "of the same high quality as used for the aluminum Macbooks, iPhones and iPads."
"[A]t the spot located under the screen, where the drive for 3.5-inch disk sat, you will now find a slot for SD cards, the FaceTime camera, speakers and a microphone," it said.
But wait, there's more: The new Mac supports popular WiFi standards and Bluetooth, and features a USB 3.0 port and a Lightning port.
"A built-in battery allows you to set up the Mac at different work locations on the fly. Like the current iPhones and iPads the Mac would be available in silver, gray and gold—including color-matched keyboards and mice," it said. — Joel Locsin/BM, GMA News
