Looks like everyone in the macrumors forums hates the new iMac. that usually means it will sell like crazy. lol
That's usually how it always ends up being. I think it depends on the age level. I'm sure many between the ages of 7-21 will immediately find these new colors appealing. The rest will warm up to them or end up going for the Pro (which may have a space grey color) model if one will ever exists.
 
They were thinking of this:

But all of those have dark neutral options. Which is what they should have done here also. Offer whatever you want but for the love of god give us one normal one.
 
These truly are hideous colors for a desktop computer. I know it’s superficial of me, but I just can’t see having that on my desk.
If it makes you feel better, there's a giant part of me that wants to sell my 27" for one of these, *even though I need the extra screen space.* I mean, I won't actually do that, but I'm so pulled in by colors that I have to restrain myself from doing so.

I could see the next redesign of the MacBook Air going with colors and white bezel, whereas the MacBook Pros and bigger iMac (which I imagine will be called iMac Pro will stick with black bezel, and the iMac might have a thicker chassis, move the internal behind the panel and forgo the chin, or minimize it.

I do agree the chin without logo is a bit jarring.
They missed the chance for an Apple shaped TouchID sensor on the front.
 
I was excited to see the colors return. Still going to wait for another generation of these things, luckily my i7 Mac mini will tide me over for a while. Hopefully, they'll at least add the option for an M.2 drive or something, I don't want a million different USB-C/TB3 drives connected to my computer.
 
So will there be a larger iMac? Why would I want to replace my 27in with a smaller version?

Not a fan of these colors - too bright but for me it would be against a wall anyways so not really important to me how they look.

The logo being removed from the front is bizarre- they could have put it on the stand at least.

Will wait to see some real world tests with this before I decide to give up my 2019 model - Apple is offering me $1,050 for it - I paid triple!
 
A little aweful quick photoshop. I think black bezels look better. I'm sure there will be some aftermarket screen sticker to do this to the mac and if that fails, a sharpie. LOL.

I honestly think the 27-inch is the perfect size for me.
 
So, the new iMac is a smashed-flat M1 Mac Mini with a 24” screen pasted on it and better sound and video. I’m not entirely surprised that the first M1 iMac is just a jumped-up cross of an iPad Pro and a Mac Mini, or more like an M1 iPad Pro with a glandular problem, but it would have been nice for them to come out with something for those of us who use our computers as more than a fashion statement or status symbol. There’s always WWDC, I guess.

I don't think the white bezel is the real issue here I think it's the missing Apple logo that makes it appear so bland on the front panel. Looks like Apple had very limited space since all the electronics and the speakers reside in the chin now so no room for placement of the logo.
