Rather than the traditional cheese grater design, it looks like a giant speaker wrapped in a mesh polycarbonate body, while the main components are encapsulated in a transparent frame. Featuring Touch ID, two Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports, Thunderbolt 3 (up to 10 GB/s) support, an SDXC Card Slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, and built-in speakers that consists of of six horn-loaded tweeters as well as a high-excursion woofer with a custom amplifier.
