Dell’s Bamboo PC is tip of an iceberg of cool designs

Boing Boing:

dell2.jpg“Dell’s Bamboo-cased mini-PC is about the most beautiful thing the company—often derided as the dullest
of PC manufacturers—has produced. Ostensibly an eco-friendly thing, its
real appeal of this wooden machine is its simple, well-designed beauty.
It is an item of good taste, though it is also available in plastic
tat.

At CES this year, Dell gave me and other writers a look at
prototypes it probably will never take to market. These devices were
universally gorgeous, inventive and cleverly designed. The only thing
from this team/division to see the light of day, I think, is the
crystal LCD monitor that’s now getting some unfortunate reviews.

Dell’s new computer, specs undisclosed, will be available later this year at a “likely” price of $500-$700.”
