The NeXT Cube is a notable high-performance workstation developed by Steve Jobs following his departure from Apple. Introduced in 1988, the NeXT Cube was instantly recognisable with its black die-cast magnesium cubic enclosure, which set it apart aesthetically from other workstations of the time. It was powered by the Motorola 68030 processor, providing robust performance for its era. The NeXT Cube featured advanced hardware and software integration, including a sophisticated graphical user interface and object-oriented programming environment, known as NeXTSTEP. This platform was instrumental in advancing the field of computing and software development, influencing future technologies. Despite its limited commercial success, the NeXT Cube's innovative design and technological contributions left a lasting impact on the industry, particularly in the realms of software development and computer aesthetics.

Its legacy is also tied to its role in the development of the World Wide Web, as Tim Berners-Lee used a NeXT Cube to create the first web server, that cube is preserved at the Science Museum in London.
