Ah, memories. I worked at Apple BITD, and it was fun to pick out a computer to get with my annual employee discount. My favorites were the IIci [1], with its very clean and compact design that was the result of lots of user research into making the II easier for people to open up and upgrade, and the PowerBook 140 [2], one of the first Apple laptops, just because it was so damned cute. And for the original Macs, I still have a padded case with a shoulder strap, which made my SE/30 [3] a credible luggable.
