The laptop has a black slip with a sheeny gold Surface logotype ( because , you know , the 50th anniversary is the favourable anniversary ) . That ’s peachy , but when you reach the laptop computer , you ’ll happen the Microsoft logo from 1975 at the bottom rightfield of the keyboard .

Overall , the 50th Anniversary Surface search sweet … but I ca n’t serve but think it would n’t search much better as a MacBook . Imagine next year , when Apple marks its fiftieth anniversary , the companionship write out a raw disastrous color – not Midnight , not Space Black , but pitch-dark – with the Apple logo designed byRob Janoff , the one on theApple IIwith the six - colouring material Apple and the “ Apple ” text logo aligned with the apple bite . Then , when you take up this special version MacBook , you are greeted with a special wallpaper of theoriginal Apple logowith Sir Isaac Newton pose under an Apple tree , created byRonald Wayne . That would be awesome .

Apple has been known to countenance anniversaries pass by , but it ’s not without precedent . In 2017 , the iPhone X marked the 10th day of remembrance of the iPhone , and back in 1997 , Apple unveiled special commemorative Mac computer hardware for the company’s20th day of remembrance , hump as the Twentieth Anniversary Mac or TAM . Will Apple storm us and make a exceptional - edition MacBook for its fiftieth ? I know I ’d corrupt one , even if I had Togolese Republic into serious debt to do so .
