I don't know why everyone is upset about the colors and the white bezels and a big chin now but back in the day 20 years ago it was perfectly fine and adored and everyone loved it.

Apple 'Likely' to Overtake HP as Leading All-in-One PC Vendor

I agree with you 100%. Apple will sell a ton of the new iMacs.
What some people here fail to understand is who makes up Apple's iMac target market.
True that, and there is also some astro-turfing going on in these forums (people being paid to literally post negative comments / sway the comment stream), although you see that the most with iPhone articles.
I mean, that was such a different time than where we're at right now lol. I really like the new designs, but definitely see why folks would want a black bezel and less of a chin. Most modern monitors and displays (including Pro Display XDR and all Mac notebooks) have thin black bezels.
I personally am looking forward to seeing a higher-end 30ish inch iMac in a nice deep blue or silver.
genuinely surprised apple wasn’t already the leading aio vendor
i’ve never seen any other aio in real life outside of the ones for sale at best buy

I still prefer the old design. It's timeless and flawless. Very professional looking yet perfect for home.
Yes, I feel exactly the same as you. I absolutely love the white bezels and I imagine us being “in the minority” has to do with just us being drowned by a very vocal group of tech enthusiasts trying to make a lot of noise on the internet. Something that happens almost every time Apple flips the script in a dramatic way.
Much like every other successful Apple release, my bet is the numbers won’t lie and will soon reveal that we were never in the minority all along.
These bezels and without the front Apple logo - disgusting.
My first Intel iMac was 24" Perfect size for us. Now we have the 21.5" (sorry, 27" is just too big). Looking forward to the 2nd gen of these!
the iMac faced competition from often lower-priced AIO’s that had the same processors and included features like touchscreens, more ports, better webcams with physical privacy shutters, built-in wireless phone charger and facial recognition login. iMacs have better display quality and OS. The M1 at least gives the low end models a huge performance boost that will crush i3 and i5 competitors in terms of performance.

Do you spend much time wandering into strangers homes or walk the halls and floors of office buildings checking out what type of computers they have? I don't understand how what you have seen is a litmus test for how popular PC AIO's are?
There is? Imagine my disappointment, to discover I've been critical of many of Apples shortsighted decisions for free this entire time. How do I get in on that action?
The logo-less chin didn't bother me at all when the new iMac launched. I thought it was a little surprising, but the stand got most of my attention, seeming a bit undersized while decidedly less elegant. If the M1 didn't disqualify it from purchase out of hand, I'd be interested in picking a couple up for the office, but I'd definitely get one with a VESA mount and make my own stand.
Though, the more I see this imac, the stranger that blank chin looks.

If one is putting an iMac on the kitchen island as the poster mentioned, the peripherals will inevitably get put in drawers when cleaning the counter or using the kitchen for tasks other than office work. An iPad would make a lot more sense to me here than an iMac, but to each their own!
I would never buy an all in one.
I suggest people not buy them either.
They are overpriced. If something breaks, more expensive to fix. When you want a new computer you throw everything out.
Hard pass.

It will do well because it’s Apple. At this point people choose Apple products just because they’re made by Apple (Both Apple fans and regular people).
PC world is not into AIOs at all. HP simply sells way more PCs than Apple, so even if AIOs represent a small fraction of their overall sales, the absolute number is still higher than the one for Apple. On the other hand the fraction of AIOs in Apple sales is artificially high because they refuse to sell regular desktop PCs which are desired by many people.
Nobody (but Apple fans who simply do not have much choice) buys AIOs for performance. AIO PCs are mostly bought for office/workplace work which in general requires Windows OS anyways.
Ha ha. Like the way MR puts "Apple" in front of every mention of a product... on a site that is about Apple. Yeah MR, we know that Apple makes the iPhone.
