Seriously, calling the design a fail particularly as seen from the front is over-the-top absurd.
It’s essentially the same as the machine it replaces except the bezels are thinner and coloured white instead of black, the display is larger, the pedestal is slightly different and there is no Apple logo. The only other difference is the new one offers colour options whereas the previous version was available only in silver. Compare a silver 21.5 to a silver 24 and design wise there is little difference.
And THAT is likely the real reason some are calling the design a fail—because the new isn’t dramatically different from the old.
