I'd have to go with the wood grain Atari 2600, I'm a sucker for 70's designed electronics.

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.
I'm partial to the translucent version of the OG GBA.
Completely forgot I had this until seeing this image. Brain skipped straight to the SP.
I went from Glacier OG to Silver SP. Never got a Micro.
God damn marketing! That picture makes it look like it had OLED before it was invented. Of course, these days you can make it actually look like that but it's ~$60 and you install it yourself.
It's a worthwhile mod. I prefer this form factor over the clamshell, but it needs a screen that you can see without 1000W of halogen bulbs around you.
Oh yeah right... the Gameboy advance can legally be considered as a retro console...
Good pick!
