Stylistically what do you like best about the new iMac?

I have to say...that's original.

I personally thought that the design looks a little awkward, but now that I have seen it for 24 hours, it is really growing on me. Makes me sad that I spend $3500 for a dual 533 and a 17" crt when I could get the top iMac for $1799. Screw the expansion, I'll save the money.

It sounds more like someone is upset because the new and cheap consumer level machine competes, if not beats (I have no idea what they have), with their expensive machine bought not all that long ago.
 
close..

actually I own a PB G4. I do think its over priced but Apple gives me 25% off. Otherwise I would never buy it. I have also had an iMacSE that Apple gave me, but sold that to a friend. Oh, and I also have a PC (200 badboy MHZ with 32 mb of RAM!!!) Its ugly beige. Its about 10 years old. Its very slow. But it does not resemble my desk lamp!
 
Let's not forget

Surely all those people who have Luxo lamps (or Anglepoise as we call them over here), will be overjoyed at Apple's new creation. The original Anglepoise lamp certainly appeared in every design and architects office around the world when it came out, for its ease of manouverability and sheer design brilliance. In fact, Jonathon ives ( a fellow brit) would have grown up looking at one in his dad's studio. Can't see why this iMac wont do the same rounds. Of course, people may start getting them confused. (yes, i'm joking).

I think they have done another great job. Well done chaps.

JC out...
 
aha!

But how much Unreal can you play on a Luxo when you've finished working, eh?

Oh look.... you've gone and upset my anglepoise.

"quality plastic or left over ibook parts?? they made a 14 inch ibook and did not know what to do with all the old small ones left over. so they sold 36,000 of them ot the suckers in maine, then took the rest of the spare parts and made imacs. the last dozen or so will be sold on the apple store for the remainder of the week, which will take 90 days to receive."

Ummmmmm... what part of the new iMac has old iBook parts? Also, the last time I checked apple was still selling iBooks with a smaller screen, its only the most expensive model that has the 14 incher. Maybe u should spend less time complaining to us about how the new iMac sucks (which it doesn't) and more on getting your facts right
 
when its listed in the apple store i tend to no longer consider it a rumor. and when someone sidesteps a fault in their argument with a snide remark as you did they tend to lose their credibility
 
credibility huh? i am not trying to convince you. i just get off on these arguments.

besides... remember how bad you all wanted iWalk? 20 bucks says SpyMac comes up with something else before the next macworld that you all fall for again.

credibility is irrellevent when people want something bad enough, they beleive anything.
 
even i fell for the iWalk. Now that i look back it is a silly design. Spymac is the one who has lost all credibility. I was stupid enough to give them my email address so now i'm probably going to be getting a lot of spam. I would not be chagrin if someone were to "modify" there html files.
 
If the nck can stand the test of time then i think it is the most impressive part of the imac. It had to be designed right, it brings 2 parts of the product together and so it has to cater for both of them and yet still have its own uniqe style.

Ive is a genius.



( remember how the rev.a - rev.d imacs were replaced shortly after being launched?, any1 think that will happen again?)

How have they lost cred? All these sites base themselves on information that comes from dodgy souces. Their creditability is as a site for people like us to find rumours and leaks and hope that we are going to see what is to come when, in reality, we know that it will not happen as the rumour sites tell us. This sites just give us sad souls a way to deal with our excitment.
 
funky-looking, but...

I like it. Yes, the ball-head looks a little fat in contrast to the slim flat-screen floating above it. But I _like_ the way it looks. A little funky. Attention-getting. Cool.
Even more, I love the practicality and efficiency of the design--the way you can position the screen wherever you want, the stability of the base, and that the flat screen is so svelte. I'm also quite enamored with a G4 cpu, Nvidia graphics, superdrive, 60 gig drive, usb & firewire, ethernet, 256 megs of RAM, etc. for $1800.

So... I ordered mine last night.

PS: I wonder if Apple was able to patent the swiveling/tilting/elevating monitor "neck" idea. I'm betting it will be copied by EVERYBODY. They'll be as ubiquitous as fruit-colored plastic became after the first iMac made its debut.
