NorthStar* Horizon (wood cover) as a simple but
pleasing to the eye design.
Hmmm, not familiar with these really, but I think the SOL-20 is one of the
coolist looking of that era's micro's.
Kaypro Toteables, very functional and simple.
OK, but the Kaypro 2000 also would deserve mention, even with it's horrible
display. Gotta love that case and battery life!
DEC BA123 based machines for simple styling and good
mechanical/thermal
engineering.
OK, you've got an excellent point here. My only problem is the noise. I
love the BA123 cabinet though! You can't beat it for ease of working on!
TRS80, TI99, Commodore C64/C128 for evolving the wedge
design to the limit.
I don't think it's there yet. A few years ago there was a PC Keyboard that
came close. The Amiga 1200 comes even closer probably.
