Why does a stationary computer need to be so thin that they can't fit an ethernet port and have to place it in the charger?

#62Is it just me, or should the front facing camera be better then 1080p by now?
It’s nice to shoot in 4K for flexibility of cropping etc later. But for me, I decided to save money this year. And I’m happy with my decision.
So for a video call camera, personally I think 1080p is totally sufficient.

#63I am not excited at all for the Ethernet port to be part of the power supply. It just makes my job harder. I will probably be buying external 10Gbe adapters anyway. The memory is also a concern. They didn't show the memory in the summary slide like they did with the MacBooks and Mac mini. This is just disappointing. I hope 16gb an option. I really wish we could get back to 32gb. [edit] 16GB is an option according to…

#64Did I see it correctly, that the iMac only comes with 8GB Ram configurations? Doesn't the MacBooks come with an 16GB option?
that OS and the apps over there are supper efficient
it is the same story as iPhone vs Android phones, android always needed 2x more ram/battery than iPhones because the android ecosystem is bloated and slow, just like windows

#65> "iMac comes with a new power connector that attaches magnetically and a beautifully woven 2-meter-long color-matched cable." Magsafe for a stationary computer...
Just another proprietary cable for them to sell. It is so funny the fan base just goes along with it too.
And the previous models had their own cable, too. Not like this is new.

#66Can't wait to see the teardown, I wonder how much of it is glued together. Who wants to bet that despite there probably being no pressing need to do so, the SSD will be permanently soldered onto the motherboard rather than as a M.2 NVME card?

#67Still no dual monitors?
Re: All-new iMac features the M1 chip
#68I'm super excited to see them figure out/be comfortable with a detached Touch ID. I've wanted my watch to be set as a Touch ID, or my wireless keyboard for my mac mini, and historically Apple seemed like they'd only allow physically attached Touch ID. With this product, it looks like they're providing a Touch ID keyboard that's wireless. I'm very curious how that works logistically, and if they'll make the keyboards…
I’d love to see Face ID on a Mac next.

#70Earlier quoted context omitted.
Having a power brick at all is a huge step backwards. The old iMac has an internal power supply.
Well, true, but given their love of thermal throttling, it actually might be a good thing to get that heat generation out of the case.
