MacBook Pro Packaging by Josh Rubin
MacBook Pro deliveries started happening in the last few days—I got mine yesterday. In between data migration and device lust, I couldn't help but admire the packaging. Some have noted how slim and minimal the box is, while others have appreciated the streamlined set of accessories and documents. I was most impressed with the protective materials that safely suspended the MacBook. With clear reference to Eva Zeisel (left, after the jump) and Erwin Hauer (right, after the jump), the molded styrofoam is beautiful to look at and respectable for its reduction in overall material usage.
