The design comes from Jonathan Ive and is considered to be one of the most beautiful Apple computers ever created. The machine has no fans, and only uses convection for cooling, which results in overheating and even tearing of the outer case, sadly after 1 year of release Apple had to take it off the market.

Furthermore, the Cube has no build in sound card, sound came exclusively through the small round USB speakers from Harman Kardon which are part of the complete collection.
