I really liked the pre-Unibody MacBooks and MacBook Pros.
I have both in my collection. Including one tattered 2006 first-gen Intel MBP that I picked up from a trash heap and restored.
Every time I open that MBP up, the design makes me feel like a high-roller Hollywood producer. I was just thinking the other day that I wish I could have that machine with M1/M2 guts inside of it.
Those plastic MacBooks are also a joy to sit in front of.
And though I thought the unibody MacBooks/Pros looked spaced aged at the time, they kind of look unsightly today. Those black bezels are huge and obnoxious, and give the laptop a raccoon look.
