And finally Apple has done it the first fully disposable desktop computer
This is so first-gen. Low spec (RAM 8GB, SSD 256 GB) for high price. The revision of this will be much better.
If they are going to add the chin, why not put the small apple logo there also. Kinda weird without it there.
I believe the 3.5 mm audio jack is on the lower left side. It is too deep to put it on the back of this very thin iMac
What are you smoking???
Browser, email, slack, teams is on... 6.46GB of RAM used. Yeah sure, 16GB is overkill... keep on dreaming.
8GB on the M1 is suicide for the SSD, the computer keeps swapping and swapping and swapping. Atm, I have a 4,7GB swap file. And I don't even work any heavy stuff, just fairly standard "office"-stuff and browser/email/teams.
I still have an ancient 15” 1280x1024 monitor that I sometimes use: it looks ****, but it works so I keep it around (if nothing else it is convenient to have a spare when setting up a rPi). I upgraded my main external monitor long ago because it was unpleasant to read on that monitor, and next time I’ll probably buy an XDR monitor (with or without attached computer) because it is so much nicer again.
most people also don’t need coloured walls, clothes that don’t come from Kmart, powerful sexy cars, and so on, they just buy them because nice things are nice to have. An extra few hundred dollars every few years isn’t unreasonable for something that gets used frequently, especially if it sits somewhere prominent in your home.
Of course. The pic in this tweet will give you a good idea to whom this iMac is aimed at.
You're disappointed because you are still thinking about memory in Intel terms and not in M1 terms.Why the hell can the iMac only have a max of 16GB RAM? Does not M1 support more RAM? I'm disappointed.
Please do some reading about the Mx processor architecture and for god sake, look at some benchmark reviews. They will tell you that 8GB will be plenty enough for day to day operations and you can always expand that to 16GB if needed.
With that you mean that you prefer black over white because the color differentiation on this models is exactly the same as on the previous model. The only difference is that the black bezel is now white.

We’ll duh. This is an entry-level home computer. Not every Mac Apple is designed with Pro users or hobbyists in mind.
The iMac is an everyday computer and I had mine for 10 years now. I mean sure, if you like edit a Lord Of Things Rings Trilogy on it every other day, then perhaps you should go for the 16GB version or wait for the pro version, but other than that : what the hell are you doing on that machine that requires it to be a super computer?
I mean, have you actually used the Mac Mini M1 or seen the reviews of professionals working with it? Most of them are raving about it (and they are professionals)

This is criticising for the sake of criticising (and without thinking).
I have yet to come across an iMac (in a household environment) that is connected via ethernet. I'm sure there will be exceptions to that (and those people will have to pay a little extra), but the vast majority is using WiFi. It makes sense not to include a port that isn't going to be used anyhow on the base model.

At last, someone that actually has one . It's so frustrating to see so many people actually making a big deal over something they know very little about and have not yet used.
"It's to small, it's to big, I wanted it to be all black, I wanted it to be any other color then the ones it comes in now, I needed it to have a 2TB option, I wanted a built in coffee maker" ... this place is like kindergarten.
After waiting and waiting for years... I HATE THIS.
WHITE...? CHIN...? Are you serious?
And they still haven’t sorted the mouse charging design? I AM ANGRY.

Okay, so i make videos with iPhone 12, hdr dolby etc. Can i view/edit these vids accurately on the iMac’s screen if it is not hdr capable?
Because Apple knows most of their consumers want thin products. You are probably a "pro" user and think everyone needs a bunch of useless ports - they don't.
Apple is a big company and does research. This design will stay for 5-10 years. You are not their demographic.
It makes me wonder if they will use their iPhone model language with coming iMacs. ie iMac, iMac Pro, iMac Pro Max etc.
My late 2012 27" iMac is feeling pretty slow now, and getting noisy. These are tempting, given what I've heard about the M1 laptops, but I can't step down in screen size.
I'm surprised they didn't launch two sizes, which can only lead me to assume that there's going to be something different about the larger model, other than the size that is!
