I'd have to go with the wood grain Atari 2600, I'm a sucker for 70's designed electronics.
The 2600 depicted in the article thumbnail, was absolutely a beauty in its native environment of the late 1970's:
while not necessarily the prettiest console by any means but i always thought the Og xbox home menu went way harder than it needed to, now that's presentation!
They said retro, the Xbox can't be retro, its only been around for- oh. Oh no.
Nintendo's GameCube. It's cubical. Cubical!
It came with a beat carry handle and drug-hiding compartments!
The Mega Drive is the best looking retro console, I mean look at it
This one looks a little naked. Needs more "High Definition Graphics" or whatever it says
It just looks so sleek. For me, it was the future of gaming.
Vectrex, hands-down.
One more vote with OP. That Atari is a nice looking machine.
The Sega Saturn, especially the Japan version: 
Although I never owned this model myself, I recently picked up an 8bitdo replica (M30 bluetooth) of the Japan controller and it looks and feels great, although not strictly a direct copy of the original.
The Dreamcast is up there too imo!
Game Boy Advance. Actually all 3 variants (GBA, SP & Micro) are beautiful consoles.
I love how the SP looks. The original feels better in the hand but the clamshell looks so good and it feels great to open and close.
I'm tempted to get a foldable as my next phone because I miss that design.
Is PS Vita a retro console? If so that.
I'd say PSP is, but Vita isn't. DS is, but 3DS isn't.
I got my start with atari 2600 but I think the GameCube was the best looking in both form and function. Best looking computer is an IBM Aptiva S 
Technically neither a console nor a PC (in the IBM-compatible sense), but the Commodore PET has a certain kind of 70s futurism about it.
Note the integrated tape deck for all your storage needs.
The keyboard pictured, while interesting looking, is a complete POS. Later PETs had a more usable keyboard with a better layout.
Edit: I don't think that red button at the bottom right is stock. It's almost certainly a hardware reset button, which on the Commodore machines is typically done by shorting a couple pins on a user expansion port.
The Atari Portfolio (the one John Connors uses in Terminator 2) or the ST Book.
I'm a fan of how ENIAC really used the space
If we're also talking old computers then it's hard to beat the Cray-1
Also had the advantage of fooling your house guests into thinking it's a weird, modernist couch that makes conversation really hard.
PC Engine. Not only does it look like a prop from the set of TNG, but it is delightfully tiny. The cartridges are little cards that you slot in the front. There is literally nothing bad about a PC Engine. (Except for maybe that it's only got one controller port)
Console: Sega Dreamcast
PC: Any IBM beige box from the 90s
I like the woodgrain look, but I don't think the Atari 2600 is a very good example of it. Lots of audio equipment from the time does it better. Especially when combined with brushed aluminum or stainless steel.
Purple GameCubes are retro now, so I'll go with that as my favorite.
Something about the Power Macintosh 6100, and the chin that does it for me. Plus the name, POWER Macintosh does it for me.
Also that prowler on the screen. I wonder if they had some sort of deal with Chrysler.
Intelligang represent!
Intellevision may not have the best controller design out there, but the versatility with the different card inserts made playing games easier when I was a kid. Basically a guide in the palm of your hands for each game you owned. Losing them did blow however.
BAM THERE IT IS !!!
We had both this one and the 2nd gen gray one! Plus the voice synthesizer addon. My dad would replace the touch pad inserts so we didn't have to buy new controllers.
Amazing console way ahead of it's time.
Humm, for PCs I’d have to say iMac
For game consoles it’s a hard debate between the GameBoy Pocket or the GameBoy Micro. One is the essence of a GameBoy shrunken down to a power efficent and usable design. While the other is the smallest you can make a console while still having it usable.
the atari 2600 looks like it could take you back to the future with enough jigawatts
