The cubeputer is one of the most common styles for personal computing devices; so popular that many peripherals such as printers and (later) other household appliances such as refrigerators (the Diebold [[Icecube]]) are made in the same shape and style. The cubeputer is, as its name suggests, approximately cubical. It is approximately 13" on a side, and original designs have slightly concave faces. Many variants (though only the ''Cubeputer Elite'' in the original range) have a keyboard and screen which extend on cantilever arms.

The cube was originally a fashion item, but because of its regular shape, it became common for peripherals to be stacked. Once the manufacturers began integrating peripheral connectors into its ''feet'' (or "stabiliser lugs" as the manual calls them), a whole tower or wall of computers, speakers and other devices could be interconnected with no visible cables.

Officially, the name only applies to units made by '''Cubeputer Corporation''' of [[New Europa]], but most people use it to apply to generic similar devices made by many companies. There is also some confusion over who owns Cubeputer - it is widely known that they are a new brand launched by a major manufacturer, but nobody has managed to find out exactly who owns them.
