I hate these pastel colors.
On top of that, the white border...and then, it‘s on the keyboard, trackpad, and mou…….

Worst colors ever. Looks like the Tim Cook collection
Where's the /s (sarcasm) tag? You realize that the M1 is outperforming Intel processors for software that's recompiled for it, right?
I had the same thought, but... when I looked at the M1 MacBook and Air, they don't show 16GB on the main page - it only shows as an option when you click through. So... maybe it will be there when fully active?
Electronics, being the key word here. Now that they're essentially the same on the inside, it's only a matter of time before someone figures out a way to boot macOS on an iPad. I'm sure there's some plan to allow this (officially) eventually, like Boot Camp but for macOS - then you just hook up and keyboard and mouse, and you've got a cheap Mac for $799.
I’ll make a bet right now that the larger iMac will come in darker/muted colors with black bezel and maybe no chin. And they might bring back the iMac Pro name.
These are just terrible. Why push for thinness. We would much rather have a thicker form that allows the logic board to sit behind the screen, lose the chin, integrate the power supply.
I just hope they fix this mess for the 27inch iMac Pro or whatever they end up calling it

I don't mind the colours, but who ever thought that the light edging around the screen was a good idea? Black is a better border colour around a screen for colour accuracy.
Definitely style over substance.
I might be one of the few that actually likes the design...don't love it but like it.
I just don't think it is worth the price with the same processor as the Mini.
If they release a better configuration at WWDC, it will most likely be out of my price range.
Now I need to decide what to do as my computer continues to age.

I’m curious what their thought process was around certain colors being more expensive. Those colors are more popular? Harder to produce?
And there’s still no vertical adjustment. Really not much of a redesign. Just a new paint job.
Why is the chin "terrible"? I'm surprised they didn't put an Apple logo on the chin, though.
Seems these are clearly NOT targeted to professionals. They’re for families or people who don’t need the most powerful machine but want some fun colors in their tech.
There's a worldwide chip shortage right now, so that may have been a factor, and 16GB is wayyyyyyy overkill for macOS, unless you're runnign high-end professional productivity apps. These iMacs are geared for consumers. 16GB of memory would be seriously wasted on most users. macOS still runs steller on only 4GB of RAM.

I'm sad for the white bezels, down-sizing, the DAMN chin, non-backlit keyboard, and still the awful Apple Mouse.
Excited for the Ethernet on the power brick (DOPE), magnetic power connector, smaller bezels, full front glass, and colors.
And of course, M1.
But now, for real, I DO NOT need this. The M1 iPad is everything I wanted, and I can use it with a bigger, better monitor, a backlit keyboard, etc.

Larger display, keyboard, MacOS support.
The latter is important for certain types of work. But overall I agree that it doesn't make a lot of sense to buy one of these over an iPad Pro and a $150 monitor. I guess it will look better than an ad-hoc setup with the iPad pro.
The computer is inside the chin. The rest is just screen.
They should have just done an upgraded version of the iMac G4, but with multiple colors. You could have put all of the hardware in the base, and still had amazing speakers, studio mics, and even the 1080p FaceTime camera. On top of that you could have made it even thinner and removed that god awful chin.
