Love for the 1984 Mac has remained strong over the decades, and we’ve seen some cool representations of it. Take for example this LEGO version, which you can actually make on your own.

Sure, you can’t use it, but think of the fun you can have making it and admiring your creation!

But here’s a Macintosh 128k replica that is of a totally different level: The Golden Apple.

The creation of Love Hultén, a Swedish designer, craftsman, and innovator, the Golden Apple is captivating in its beauty.

Hultén describes his baby:

“The Golden Apple has an up-to-date Mac Mini mounted inside, and the floppy drive has been replaced with a DVD reader. The custom made mechanical keyboard uses blue cherry MX tactile switches which are covered by gold plated key caps made from zink. A wireless mouse made from walnut completes the unique setup.”
