Yes, from roughly 1997-2013 according to that image. In that one brief 16 year moment, it peaked.
Hot take… This trend was just a modern (at its time) reimagining of the TRUE peak of tech design: 80s era clear cases with brightly colored interior components.

Fun fact, you can relive the old days by going to prison and being on good behavior to get a transparent TV or radio/CD player in your cell very similar to this.
Imo the old Macintosh design is the 1969 VW Beetle/ bus of computers. ✌️☮️🌼
Honestly, I am really happy we passed that transparent bubblegum-toy style. My hope is that we move towards physical buttons again, at least where they make sense (cars for example).
Wish granted. Now everything comes with those cheap shitty bubble-like buttons that are incomprehensibly stiff and only work if you press at just the right angle with just the right amount of force, and there’s a 50% chance they register twice.

That blue light hit different
You’re a fan of the half-transparent aesthetic? I’m not.
Well if you don’t like black rectangle, you can have silver rectangle.
That blue ps2 looks dope af
One of these is not like the others
Black is beautiful 🖤
There is one thing In here not like the others…
RGB, plastic edition.
I’m 'bout to bust
That translucent blue plastic becomes about the most absolute brittle shit over time. When they say plastic lasts hundreds if not thousands of years, translucent blue plastic missed that memo.
When they say it lasts, they don’t mean it stays in the exact same condition and shape.
Well, you’re not wrong…
Most of it is in my balls now.
Microplastics are stored in the balls.
Now they’re technically not blanks 🙏

Plastic lasts thousands of years, most of it lasts tens of thousands of years but blue plastic singlehandedly brings down the average.
