Known quirks
- Acrylic case develops micro-cracks around the plastic — "Cube crack" is collector shorthand
- No fan — convection cooling makes the Cube warm under load
- Touch-sensitive power button instead of a physical switch — failures cause unwanted sleeps
- Poor sales led to just 14 months of production — among Apple's biggest flops commercially
- Requires external AC power brick — often missing
