JLPGA PowerBook 170 （1992年）

    这款纪念版的Mac存世量极为稀少，与其说它是糟糕工业设计的产物，不如说是一款配色有问题的产品。当时为了庆祝高尔夫协会（JLPGA）在日本举行的锦标赛，这款产品一共生产了约500台。

    More the product of a questionable color scheme than poor industrial design, this commemorative Mac is extremely rare. Some 500 were made in honor of the JLPGA golf tournament in Japan.

Power Macintosh G3一体机（1998年）

    Power Mac G3一体机推出后不久，iMac就上市了。于是拜iMac所赐，这款一体机注定短寿。尽管它仍显笨拙，但它却第一次体现了苹果的设计理念，正是这种理念揭开了苹果伟大复兴历程的序幕。这个问题设计还有什么其它可取之处呢？它只销售给教育行业的用户，不卖给普通消费者。

Power Macintosh G3 All-in-One

    Doomed to a short existence thanks to the iMac, which came on the scene shortly after, the Power Mac G3 all-in-one was an ungainly incarnation of the idea that would eventually mark the beginning of Apple's resurgence. Another saving grace of the questionable design? It was sold only to educational buyers, not consumers.

Flower Power iMac（2001年）

    如果贵公司热卖的台式机生产线用光了合适的配色，你会怎么办？2001年初，苹果公司找到了这个问题的解决方案。它推出了多彩版的iMac——就像这款名为Flower Power的产品，它将多彩的设计图案模压进了塑料外壳中。

Flower Power iMac (2001)

    What happens when you run out of clever colors for your incredibly popular line of desktop computers? Apple found out in early 2001. Its multicolor iMacs -- like this one dubbed Flower Power -- had designs molded into their plastic casing.

eMate 300（1997年）

    这款针对教育市场开发的廉价笔记本采用了饱受诟病的牛顿（Newton）操作系统。它自夸采用了已在iMac上臻于完美的美观塑料。推出一年后，这款售价800美元的短命产品就退出了市场。

eMate 300 (1997)

    Aimed at the education market as a low-cost laptop running the maligned Newton operating system, the eMate sported the plastic aesthetic perfected in the iMac. The short-lived $800 device was cancelled a year later.

Apple III（1980年）

    Apple III的败笔更多在于内部设计，而不是外观。它算是苹果公司早期的失败之作。畅销产品Apple II推出了一款面向商用的高端版本，但却由于存在多种缺陷而未能打开局面。

Apple III (1980)

    More a failure of internal, rather than external, design, the Apple III was an early failure for the company. A high-end version of the popular Apple II aimed at business, it suffered from multiple defects.

Macintosh Portable（1989年）

    这是第一款用电池供电的便携式Mac。它无论如何都谈不上轻盈精致，但这并没有妨碍它在1991年成为第一台在太空用来发送电子邮件的商用便携式电脑。

Macintosh Portable (1989)

    The first battery-powered portable Mac was anything but svelte. Still, that didn't stop the model from being the first commercial portable computer used to send an email from space in 1991.
