Sony had probably the most stylish designs among MSX manufacturers. They were not afraid of using curves compared to e.g. Philips' boxier style.

There was some other interesting stuff in the 80s, like the systems from Apricot (formerly ACT). There was the Portable

which also had voice recognition, or the Xen

which had programmable keys and LCD screen on the keyboard.

Goodness, those Apricot machines are absolutely delightful. I wish there were manufacturers with the balls to try such things again ..

Some of Sony's MSX machines are some of the most beautiful computing devices ever made IMHO.

Oh my goodness, that's incredible.
