What about an iMac with a detatchable screen. A portable iMac (only the screen though😛 ) What do you think?
Got a tip for us?

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. 🙂

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' ?!

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.
