Re: All-new iMac features the M1 chip
#112I got so used to the Apple logo on the chin bar that removing it makes it looks like a knockoff product.
I'm almost certain there are products that look nearly identical to this in Black Mirror. If not, it looks like it belongs in an episode.
That's the danger of late-stage minimalism. All the designs converge on featureless rectangles.

I mean, the idea with MagSafe is that if someone trips over it, it won't yank the device to the ground, so that still applies to stationary devices. But on the other hand, I'm not sure who has a desktop computer with cords draped across areas people are walking.
Which makes you wonder: why the hell did they remove it from the MBP...only to re-introduce it to another product 3 years later?
Do different product teams just not talk to each other at Apple?

Maybe it's a bto option. The Ethernet port seems to be gone though.
It’s in the (MagSafe!) power brick, which is super weird.
I think it is a pretty neat idea. It is not a cable I want to add/remove often, so not having it coming up to the table, at least sounds nice on paper.

Why? I think 720p is the maximum need for a front facing camera on any device. What would you want a 4K front facing camera for? Most video-conferencing wont even allow more than 480p to preserve bandwidth.
Because the less pixelated it looks the more natural a conversation flows? Are you asking why is it important to have a good camera for online video conferencing? Look at all the guides that teach people how to use DSLRs as their webcams.

That's not a problem, since Zoom and co don't stream in higher resolutions anyway, and even 720p will be highly compressed

Does this mean the power supply is external now, and sits on the floor or in the outlet? Because that case is awfully thin.
Yes. This is the case. And the versions that come with Ethernet have the Ethernet port on that brick.

#117Does it only come in a 24" configuration? It'd be nice to upgrade from my 9 year old 27" iMac but I'd hate to have a smaller screen.
The resolution jump may be worth it alone, to be honest.
The new iMac has lower resolution (4480x2520, 218 dpi) than the old 27" iMac (5120x2880, 218 dpi).

#118Why 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?
I don’t mind the Ethernet port, but I was wondering the same thing. Is there no longer any value in making the computer larger? I’d expect that there is something that was cut for the thinness, but maybe not?

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.
M1 doesn’t really throttle.
Yes, it does or this wouldn't have done a thing https://www.sysorchestra.com/reduce-thermal-throttling-on-yo...

#120Did I see it correctly, that the iMac only comes with 8GB Ram configurations? Doesn't the MacBooks come with an 16GB option?
