Change is scary.
Right, and one may not know immediately if it's adaptive change or not.
Change is scary.
But Tim Cook said there would be a major pro update next year. If I was in the market for a pro, I would wait. The last minor update was just because intel could no longer supply last years chips.
Well I guess you know better than Apple, only they have the multi-billion dollar company.
Look, Imac isn't the only choice in town. Those that feel it's too thin, or too hot, or missing optical etc, aren't forced to buy one.
I like the fact that people think heat is the only problem in the new imac where custom builts have many problems and yes I know u get more performance for ur buck but my bucks will go to the electricity bill every month and if I was more concern about performance I would waste more on watercooling materials or LN2 if I was that crazy and had no life and lets not forget another piece of furniture in the house waiting to collect money or dust. So quit crying about heat on the new imac and be blessed that they are working hard and tirelessly on keeping a gtx 680mx 122w tdp undercontrol and still have a sleek and beautiful display which apple is well known for so you can upgrade with style not a huge toaster collecting money or dust to make a user happy with it, which is not the direction of the future im looking at, is going.
None of them is. No Mac is, or will be, a gaming machine.The Mac Mini isn't a gaming machine, the iMac isn't a gaming machine, then what Mac actually IS a gaming machine?

I think its an awesome machine and soon I will replace my 2011 Imac. I agree that cd/dvd are not so usefull anymore, but at least I was hoping for a bluray writer. I think there are still many people that burn cd/dvd, and professional that need to burn bluray like me. Of course I can use an external one, but the beauty of the Imac was also to have a powerfull and complete compact workstation without having so much cables running around.
The device is only thin on the edges. The back is almost as thick as the 2011 one. Even then, it has a GTX 680 MX video card which is brilliant. Did anyone want a desktop one? Did they expect one in the 2011 form factor? Is it even possible? And we don't know for sure if it has heating issues. The thin edges make it look sleek, and is still as powerful as one would want in an all in one,
27 inch still has removable ram slots, and we don't know yet for sure if the hard drive can or cannot be upgraded. Only 21 inch users can whine for that.
And why the complaints of the 21 inch version using a 5400 rpm drive? Isn't there a 128Gb SSD which stores the apps and the OS? What noticeable disadvantage would a 5400 rpm drive make?
And the lack of cd drive is a disadvantage for the minority. Seriously, for most people, CDs are used very unoften. So a cheap external one can do it when needed. And for those who use it a lot, it's a disadvantage. But still for a minority. And I chonestly can't think of a disadvantage of a cheap third party CD drive on a desktop. No one has to lug it around. It's only pulled out of the draw when needed.
I still think its a marvellous machine and an absolute beauty.
No, only 1 has the option for the GTX 680 MX video card and that is not acceptable. Why do only have a option for the largest, bulkiest, and intrusive model to get that?
I don't think many people looked at the 2011 iMac and said "I wish it was thinner and lighter"
All my iMacs in the past have all served me well as gaming machines, and so will be my soon to be 2012 iMac.
I don't think many people looked at the G5 imac when it came out and said, "I wish it had a one piece curved aluminium back with seamless glass front. So what is your point?

You know, there is just a great deal of hate in the world in general it seems. You see this on virtually everything from new cars to new TV's. People just like to complain.

Exactly!!!! mind bending....
Actually this is my favorite comment:
"Anyone prefer not to have the edge thin due to the fat bulge?"
really?? wow. I guess this guy works from behind.
It isn't something Apple should have done.
I think that was pretty clear.

Selling a good 2011 model to buy this one?
You: money>sense.

Sorry, i disagree. I think Apple did excellent on the redesign.
Why should it not be thinner and lighter all items that are produced by any company over many years always get smaller and more streamlined as the technology gets better.
It is obvious that apple is moving away from optical media, even in their macbook pro range, the screen technology is now laminated and there has been progress with regards to friction stir-welding.
Therefore it is clear and obvious that the design will be thinner and lighter. You may have complaint's about the ODD but your attributing its removal to not fitting in the new design is incorrect. Do you think the macbook pros left out the ODD because they wouldn't fit, or same with the airs?
