The original PS3 , most definitely. To this day it still looks very classy and high-tech & i'm glad they wen't back to making some creative , futuristic-looking consoles again with the PS5 ; it ain't classy-looking but it still looks surreal & creative.
I really, really like the design on the outside of the Zelda 25th Anniversary 3DS.
In terms of standard devices...
New Nintendo 3DS XL is a sexy beast in general.
On the home console front, I've always really liked the aesthetics of the top-loader NES. VERY clean and basic.
And, of course, the GameCube's design is a lot of fun as well.
Least favorites are probably the Virtual Boy, pretty much all of the Atari consoles, and the Playstation 5 (sorry, it really looks like someone sat it next to a heater and warped the plastic on it).
Also, OG Gameboy. The curvature of the bottom of the device always bugged me, for some reason.
edit: Oh, and in a surprising turn of events, I've actually really grown to like the design of the Xbox Series X. The 'black monolith' look is very easy on the eyes.
Closest I got to a spice orange GameCube is my joy con which come in orange and GameCube purple!
I honestly reckon our preference for console designs is tied to our experiences with the consoles. I love most console designs to be honest, SNES, PS1, GameCube etc. I should probably give a shout out to the original slab style 2DS which I don't think has been mentioned. I loved the design of that thing, it was like a stretched GBA!
I also really loved the look of the Wii Mini despite its gimped innards. It looked so retro, a bit like a Mega Drive 2. Couldn't justify buying one at the time though but I'd love to pick one up cheaply now.

That version of the Wii U looks terrific. However, I will never be able to understand why the sticks were above the face buttons. Felt alien to play that thing.
