Sadly this is nothing new for the MRF. Some people take it very personally when Apple products are criticized. To come into this thread (or any thread) to tell someone 'hey if you don't like it, don't buy it' is pretty eye opening. Essentially they are telling people to shut up and keep their criticism to themselves. On a tech forum. Where we discuss all things Apple. It's pretty amazing honestly. Human psychology is fascinating.
It’s highly subjective. I feel the opposite.
Nope. Has absolutely nothing to do with that. White bezels are very rare in monitors and TV's for good reason.
Exactly my point. The market made you think that, made you get used to that. That applies in everything. If all cars were black, when you saw a white one , would feel strange to you
Again, it's not the market. There are reasons why white is very rare in these products. Why it's avoided.
My parents use an iMac from 2013 with 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. All they use it for is facebook and iWork. That is all. Guess what, the next computer I will be buying them will have 8GB of RAM too. Some people do not need to upgrade their RAM. This is a very low minority of people, especially the ones that bought the 21.5" iMac to begin with. The 27" and if the M1X can allow it, the replacement will offer upgradeable RAM. We will see how the more powerful SoC work as they will eventually need to plan for 1.5TB of RAM in the Mac Pro replacement.
This is actually preferred for me. The previous iMac cables were always just a tad too small to reach my power strips or UPS. I had to always use my iMacs off center and I hated it due to the small cable it comes with. Now with a power brick it will be great to have a much much longer cord.
I don't think this is true given the whole MBP keyboard fiasco. That was a disaster. Apple is not infallible.
WiFi has gotten so good. Even playing video games over wifi is not an issue these days. You know the programs that poll user input 60 times every second, sometimes with better monitors 144 times every second. Playing online games doesn't have as much latency issue. People think this is still 2004 where wifi was HORRIBLE. WiFi 6 has replaced my ethernet basically. I ONLY have ethernet to connect to the WiFi routers (so the signal does not need to go through walls from the basement to the upstairs).
Several people, my parents included, only have a small section in their kitchen that doesn't have a lot of depth. Having the old iMac style where the back extended out towards the center made for some unpleasant placements of the iMac. Having it thinner will help greatly. Also, why are all the monitors I use pretty much as thin as this? I would actually avoid a thicker product. Having it thicker just to be thicker makes less sense than having it thinner. Putting the components behind the display is no good, that 4.5K display gives off heat on its own. So putting that SoC RIGHT BEHIND the display itself will compound the heat, this requiring even more cooling needed. So placing it in the chin got it away from the heat from the display to where its manageable by the cooling it has in place now.
And this is actually better from a product line perspective. Before the iMac Pro was removed, we had iMac 21.5, iMac 27 and iMac Pro. Hopefully this will lead to JUST iMac (24) and iMac Pro (27/30/whatever)
People need to look at what the M1 does. It is far far better than my 2019 i9 iMac. It beats an i9 9900k in many areas. That is massive, and the general user doesn't need an i9 level of performance. It is actually WAY WAY WAY overpowered for the target audience of these systems.
Not to back the OP up too much because I see what you’re saying, however, there ARE people that wanted this computer and now don’t. You say “if you don’t like it, don’t buy it” but there have been tons of reviews and comments by folks who wanted THIS level of Mac who are put off enough about the design and other decisions that they can’t buy it.Yes. You've made it abundantly clear in every single thread about the new 24" iMac sofar that you dislike its design and that you are not going to buy one. I'm so glad you had the courage to start yet another complainypants thread about it. We clearly don't have enough of those just yet
Here's a novel idea, maybe it's already crossed your mind: if you don't like it don't buy it. I don't like pickup trucks. And yet you don't see me walking around my neighborhood telling people how much I dislike their choice of vehicular transportation. The new iMac is not the right computer for you. It's that simple.
Did you consider the fact that there might be many more people who didn’t even have an iMac on their radar until Apple shook things up with their first colorful iMac since the G3 iMacs? People who insist they cannot buy a computer that is anything other than gray with black bezels are a very small minority of the general population.
No, there are no legal or phisical reasons...We live in an physical world ..the rest are just emotions...Remember the most beloved imac was the white bezels G4
For the last time, no. There are very obvious reasons why white bezels are very rare in monitors, TV's, etc. It is not the market. It is not style. It is not any other reasons you keep bringing up. Goodbye.
