My very very first reaction:

" Oh my god hehe "
Then the brain kicked in:
"Oooh now that is a real all in one... its just a freaking fat monitor!"
Then the esthetic view:
" Its a bit odd, i mean it looks like a really ass heavy monitor... I miss the swivel!"

... I think most people are going to love it (and the price) - hell i thought the previous imac was just stunning - the way the monitor moved etc... this is pretty inpressive though - although its just turning into a laptop with the innards outwards! - what a piece of technical design though - they have taken everything they learnt in the internal design of the desktops and put it to some increadable use!

.. Nice Smiley

Pro's:
- Great price for such a piece of hardware
- Takes almost no space on your desk
- Upgradeable to 2Gig RAM wich is a big improvement
- Nice interior design with the 3 fans...

Con's:
- Grafix card still sux and not upgradeable (like in every iMac)
- Don't like the exterior design, find this one much better (altough the screen isn't adjustable)

Well the iMac isn't what I expected, its a great piece of egineering, but the design is just a bit to iPod. Although my boss can by me one for work, cause I'm getting sick of this stupid old 400Mhz G3 that freezes every so often when workin in internet explorer.

What I want to see very soon is somekind of hook so I can attach the iMac to a wall and use it as a television  Grin Cause I don't like the stupid foot it has now... Just doesn't fit together.

Only my opnion  Cool

[edit] forgot one thing: Where is the handle?

     My take on it: this is the first model of iMac I would seriously consider when weighing my Mac options.

"The world's thinnest desktop computer"
2 inches thickness for this computer is impressive enough. now maybe the next iMac will be headless? Cheesy

Not to impressed on the looks, price seems nice, but my biggest cons are:

1) the monitor thickness
2) and mostly this one, the waste of space at the bottome of the screen where the apple logo is...they could have added something there, ie speakers, etc.

IDIOT Spike!  I work for a dealership that has Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Saab, and Suburu!

P.S.  Ford is a GREAT company....they own Aston Martin, Jaguar, Mazda, Land Rover, Volvo, Lincoln, Mercury, and of course the Ford Name Brand.

i know, and i hate what they have done to volvo. they have removed all individuality from the cars, and made them look like everything else



(but if you bought me a 9 5 Saab Aero for my birthday I would be your kid in a second)

and wow this thread is off topic

I on the other hand love my volvos as much as ever. Especially the S60R sitting in my driveway.

And on the kid question no GS, not at all...I see the "Patriotic" stuff you continually feed the kid. Plus, my parents bought me a dual 2. Wink

Hmm just notcied thats quite a large looking bevel around the edge of the monitor - a pity considering how small they have it now on the new Monitors.... - im guessing they just needed that extra bit more space! Wink

But how old were you when you got a dual 2???  Although you often act as young and immature as my 5-year-old, I happen to know you are really much older.  So I'm not buying my little girl a Dual 2.5, but when she is your age, and may actually NEED or WANT the power, she will have the fastest thing available.  Grin
