Worst part of these imo is all of the monitor bezels are white, literally no matching color for it.
Got a tip for us?

Pretty much, its like tech enthusiasts want everything to be made to please them, not for people who will actually use this.
These will sell to the masses. They know what their customers want, they base their design decisions on surveys and customer feedback. This is what the masses want. I for one am not going to get one but I will get this for my inlaws and I know they will absolutely love it.
I know people dislike being pushed into paying more for color, but believe me when I say that it's better than not getting colors at all just because the device you're buying is too "pro" for it. The iPhones and iPads come to mind. I'm tired of all grey, dammit! I want a little vibrancy in my tech!
Am I the only one that feels a lack of the Apple logo on the front makes that chin look empty/bad? Personally, I'd have hoped for even thinner bezels and no chin, but I guess we'll need to wait another 6-7 years for that redesign.

Welcome to the long history of monitor/screen sizing.
No HDR?
Given how the HDR in macOS doesn't seem to work with any display, I was hoping in that.
Anyway I'm currently on a mac mini M1 16Gb, therefore being this the same chip I'll probably wait for more powerful processors, both in larger iMacs and macbook pros.Unlike others here, I actually like the design though.

Is it really integrated? That would actually be a good idea. Or you're just being funny? heheTo keep it thin, and as an added bonus they integrate Ethernet into the PSU brick.
can finally put my apple stickers to use
There is, just not selectable yet as you can't preorder/customise.
IN the prices menu it says it's configurable to 16 GB
it is, you put the ethernet cable into the brick instead of into the mac itself
Let's recap.
Power brick needed. (What!?!)
White bezels on all models.
A chin still.
No ethernet or USB-A ports on the base model.
8 GB across the board. User still can't replace manually.
An absolute joke.

Yes! It looks completely bland to me.
I must confess that I'm somewhat underwhelmed...
A tad pricy for a spray paint job and a shiny new hinge.
More poignantly, the entry point specs do not warrant that price tag.
The saving grace might be the speakers, but let's reserve judgement until they've been tested.
Sorry Apple... I'm staying with my 2020 27" iMac for now. I need a little more to make me upgrade.

Sorry, but this is a good-looking and stylish display. 👀
So looking at the SKUs on the apple website - it seems like you pay $200 more to get one more gpu (don't care), touch ID on the keyboard (don't care), two USB 3 ports (do I need those over the two USB 4/Thunderbolt?), and ethernet (which is a must have!).
Question - this will work with the ethernet dongle, most likely, right? So unless I am in love with a color that you can't get on the cheapest SKU, I should just spend $30 on that...

I'm going to order the bigger chin model. Be nice if they had a forehead only model tho.
I also wonder how similar the internals of the new M1 iPad are to the new iMac -- I mean really, apart from the larger display, what else does the the iMac have, which the iPad doesn't?
With all our screaming at Apple to reduce the bezels, we forgot to tell them to keep them black. Here’s hoping the bigger iMac will come in space grey with black bezels. Otherwise I’ll wait for the updated 16” MBP.
I hate this iMac, it looks hideous. It will sell because I’m not the target audience, a fact that I hate even more than the design.
