Most computers are boxes. It makes sense.
Boxes are simple to design and manufacture, and very compatible with other boxes.
The problem is that designing even the most wonderfully shaped block does little to integrate technology smoothly and unirritably into our lives. Consider the unhealthy posture the body assumes while working on a PC all day, wrist and hand injuries, or the abundance of cryptic products like VCRs and ATM machines. We hover over technology, scratch our heads and push buttons. It seems that the technology industry has forgotten that designed things affect experience. Instead, with each computer generation there seems to be another capitulation, another submission to the preconditions of keyboard, screen, mouse and windows.
