Why don't electronics have translucent plastic anymore?

sinister normalization of the idea that consumers don't need to know how stuff works

The generic faggot is not even interested in what is in the settings menu of the Facebook app. Why would they be interested in what is in the computer?

Because Apple came with something better and ever since everyone is trying to fake Apple.

This but unironically
Plastic looks and feels cheap, and employed people can pay for premium products.

>Plastic looks and feels cheap
Only if it is cheap.

It mostly is.

I guess you have to do it yourself, buy a clear case and a Pi and you've got a computer with a translucent plastic case.

Because it was a cheap late 90s fad.

Sounds like pebcak

It would be great for Hillary Clinton.

because it's disgusting

Because now everything is on one chip or one board, so nothing much tosee anyway.

Cheap PC cases still have plastic windows.

>apple
>premium
kek

the presidential election was 2 years ago. that meme isn't even relevant any more, get over yourself.

Fpbp

Reminder that she lost an election blatantly rigged in her favor.

The time when Apple design actually was nice. All in ones with CRT screens were a terrible idea tho. The design itself is nice. I'd like the keyboard but it would need constant cleaning kek.

>election blatantly rigged in her favor.
Right, the electoral college always gives several millions of votes worth of advantage to dem... wait, you are a faggot, shitberry cuck.

>Plastic looks
the keyword is *looks*
if something *looks* expensive, it doesn't have to be expensive to make though, you can scum people into paying more.

When you are selling a magnesium alloy product, it's more expensive to make, it's more durable in every way but doesn't look so shiny as aluminium.
Also, carbon fiber is even better than the both, it's even cheaper to make, it's more eco friendly to make and it's even lighter.

Aluminium is shit for laptops. it gets corroded by the human oils, it gets scratched as fuck, it's not stiff or strong to withstand huge vents or make grills out of it....

but mob mentality says that apple laptops look good, thus aluminium is the best

Actually this era of Apple translucent plastics were used for prototypes only, initially for testing airflow issues on models.

This. Also, has anyone even looked inside any electronic device recently? With the exception of some desktop systems, everything is soldered or glued and a lot of things are one all on one chip. Insides today are ugly and boring

You can mod most glass phones to clear.
