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.

Maybe it's a bto option. The Ethernet port seems to be gone though.
No Ethernet port on a desktop is just insane. I can see the sense in saying "your dock is Thunderbolt and Ethernet goes on the dock" for laptops, but on a dekstop?
Did I see it correctly, that the iMac only comes with 8GB Ram configurations? Doesn't the MacBooks come with an 16GB option?
16GB RAM usually not a base config option but shows up in the configurator once you select one of the 2-3 base models. TBD once the store reopens.
it would be consistent for this to only have it, unfortunately
edit: this is incorrect. 16gb is available, didn't realize.
It looks hideous, has no ports, no memory. Such a letdown.
Not one feature is a step up from the current iMac. The M1 is so limiting on a desktop.
I guess they are really trying to push people into the iPad.

I 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…

The additional ram will come (though with M1 it doesn't seem nearly as big of a priority to have more).
Is it just me, or should the front facing camera be better then 1080p by now?
I've read that quality is largely limited by optics, and optics are limited by space in the MacBook line (just a few mm). Not sure why Apple wouldn't improve it on the iMac (a few cm depth to work with!).

macOS is not windows 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
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?
It's beautiful.

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.
