Since it never had a screen attached to begin with.
Seriously, I don't get what is being talked about here. What the hell is an iMac with a "detachable" screen? What would that get you that the Mac mini doesn't?
could you imagine carrying a 24" slate to the living room? i'm sure such a device would make good use of multi-touch technology, but i don't think people overall will make good use of such imacs.

MacMini + ACD?
I don't get why people keep on saying this kind of things. It's like people saying 'MacBook with a 15 inch screen and decent graphics card', well YEH it's called the MacBook Pro...
are you thinking about this? (credits to godbless)
NONONONO!!! I'm not talking about a bulky triangle
i think your thinking like this
i like it... note this took me twenty seconds in photoshop...
i think what you mean is that you can detach it from the base ( like leaving it with the vesa mount).... but it being portable (maybe a 15'' screen?) and maybe touchscreen... i hope this is what your talking about

OH! AT LAST! Someone understands what I'm saying!
The screen would be touch sensitive with the multi-touch tecnology and much thinner (like 1" thin)
Have you perhaps looked at https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/296711/ ? Maybe you should suggest something...to the person who designed the mockup above that you so vehemently said "NOOOO!!!" to.OH! AT LAST! Someone understands what I'm saying!

Yeeaaa.
I don't think touch screen Macs will be out for a while. At least till the iPhone is well on it's way for an update. Cause its a better plan to have one item touch sensitive. At least I think so.

I hate how people expect so much out of apple in june. maybe one day there will be an Tablet Mac, oh wait there's the modbook. If you really want a huge tablet get this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PSBwiBUgGM
Obviously a Blu ray disk is a 'compact disk', but it would not be called a CD.
I think that it would be more likely that apple would semi-revert to an iMac G4 design as the screen was so adjustable
And what on Earth is 'All UI' ?!

ALL UI, as in all the Ports that come with the current iMacs.
Yeah maybe it was a crazy idea and that never would of been very triomphant but you have to think different

Its not a crazy idea, it has been brought up many times by other people. One guy said he saw something similar that kept the components in the base and used wi-fi to send the data to and from the detachable screen.
I don't really understand why you would call it an iMacbook when it is just an iMac with detachable screen.
I think it would be a great option just like I think multi-touch would be a great option. I wouldn't use either one of the 100% of the time but I would pay more to have those options.
