    • Not just a Tile, I have a few. Tile's usefulness hinges on other Tile users installing the app, activating on their phones...prophetone
    • Because Find My network is what, 50-100x more likely(?), to walk by your tag you will prob receieve a ping way sooner (days?) than probability w/ a Tileprophetone

    • I'll def buy two of these, for vehicles, paired with Tiles as well because why not, as so cheap vs. monthly fee cellular tracking optionsprophetone
    • But I mean for finding keys and stuff stick with the simple white Tile as design is way less intrusive, this looks like early 2000s Macbook ac adapter ufoprophetone

    LOL...fugly.

    Jay likes it though...

    • If you see Jay's chin in that design, you got a weird mind sontank02
    • lol I can always rely on qbn to tell me why apple's latest stuff sucks.inteliboy
    • That design completely sucks balls.BusterBoy
    • yea agreed. I see the logic to it tho, a wink at the original iMacs. maybe if they were the cheap iMac option for students and kids the design would make sense.inteliboy
    • I'm sure most would have preferred it slightly thicker with no chin...just my 2 centsBusterBoy
    • I find it amazing they didn't add the logo on the front.grafician
    • and that "chin" is where the system is probably, leaving the monitor separate, for easy swap/maintenance, in the older imacs you removed the screen to updategrafician
    • that chin is successsted
    • I would have preferred the electronics in the armature maybe. Something cool besides the chin.monospaced
    • didnt even notice the chin. it's where the computer goes no? it's an iMac, not a monitor.inteliboy

    Honestly this might be the most beautiful all in one PC ever designed.

    It is fucking gorgeous.

    Y’all are missing what a beautiful piece of design this is.

    • (The iMac)nb
    • It might grow on me but it could have been betterPupsipu
    • So minimalistic and gorgeous that all they needed was google sketchup_niko
    • but seriously though, no other computer comes close to this. and yeah, they'll sell millions probably going after the consumer market, thus the colours._niko
    • From the back...great.
      From the side...perfect.
      From the front...GTFOOH
      BusterBoy
    • and if it's close to the Mac mini m1 in terms of performance (and once Adobe catches up with creative suite) it's a no-brainer, it'll devour everything_niko
    • personally, I'm happy to hold on to my 2014 27" iMac for now until they come out with a 27" a little more pro version._niko
    • It’s gonna be as fast as the mini. And with a larger case it has more airflow even so no chance of throttling like the Air.monospaced
    • I feel the same. Can't comprehend how some designers managed to still complain and think the opposite.ESKEMA
    • After a few beers I'd say the same, nb. A chin only its mother (in this case its designer) could love.NBQ00

    • They didn't even put the Apple logo on the front! YOU WHINY BROS do you not even realize how amazing this is?nb
    • Nb, you don’t get it. The front has a cheap plastic look, with or without Apple logo. Same old chin, still thick bezels and they’re white. Yuck.NBQ00

    Impressive. And the 1TB version has 16GB of Ram.

    • The specs on iPad have been impressive for past couple years but what’s still lacking is the OS and quality apps.yuekit
    • iPadOS is very impressive but I don’t use it for real work stuff. That’s what MacOS is for.NBQ00
    • It’s still possible to do pro design & illustration or video/ audio stuff on iPad Pro.NBQ00
    • But people keep acting like you can replace your laptop...even this video is called why even buy a computer lol.yuekit
    • I think the problem is that so many use cases rely on specialized applications, whether it's Photoshop or web dev, and companies mostly haven't put in theyuekit
    • effort to develop really good ones for iPad yet.yuekit
    • don't forget it's also pretty much a Wacom drawing tablet too_niko
    • It is a laptop replacement for most people if you’re not a hardcore designer/ dev.NBQ00
    • it's within their interest to not make it a fully OS X running pro app machine. So that you buy both an Ipad and a MacBook.shapesalad
    • The problem is the OS not allowing you to easily transfer files between applications or even off the machine without a fucking rigmarole.face_melter

    Ethernet port in a power brick on a desktop is peak stupid, with magsafe no less. What a shitshow.

    • Listen to mono and stop complaining.NBQ00
    • this is a standard on new ethernet chips so imagine it must have been fairly cheap to implement i think an a ethernet port may be too deep for the chasis tbhkingsteven
    • better than a dongle IMOkingsteven
    • A power brick on a desktop is just a glorified dongle. Easy to make shit thin if you make components external.sausages
    • Powerbrick on the floor, ethernet running into it on the floor. Only one cable up to the imac. Complaining about a PC ethernet port in 2021 is rich!nb
    • Not if you work in an office. And magsafe is dumb. Kick the cord (or 2 in this case) and you lose your work. Bravo apple.sausages

    It’s almost if their visionary founder and lead designer weren’t working there anymore.

    • I wouldn’t be surprised if this design was actually the love child of Ive that came from his new company LoveFrom.NBQ00
    • Because Apple still hires Ive & his designer friend Marc Newsom through their new company for consultation and design.NBQ00
    • Perhaps. It wouldn't be too bad if they got rid of of the white and the chin. The fan art looks better.Chimp
    • Also don’t forget, this design was probably approved and done via Ive when he was still at the company.NBQ00
    • "Quick, Ive has gone, add the white and the chin back in, his designs will cost us too much"Chimp
  • NBQ000

    Some good points.

    • He sums it up pretty wellChimp
    • I don’t disagree with anything he’s saying. Especially the white border.monospaced

    Y'all jerk off to the golden era of products at Braun and you hate on this? ON THIS?

    Are you even designers?

    Who cares if it's the same processor as the mac mini. Go ahead and put that ugly Dell monitor on your desk if you want. Spend your life looking at that. No one cares. No one is making you buy beautiful things.

    Buy your ugly shit and feel superior that you saved $450 or whatever in 2021 dollars. Sheesh

    • It looks good from that angle and Apple is a master of doing great product shots when they’re at certain angles.NBQ00
    • This. It might not be amazeballs, but it’s still a very pretty machinehardhat
    • The hate is for the front which is near identical to what we had for over 10 years, + ugly white bezels and chin sans Apple logo.NBQ00
    • Check the video below, he nails it.NBQ00
    • I’m not looking at this from the side. 99% of the time it will be the front what I’m seeing. And that’s what’s ugly.NBQ00
    • These colors would be distracting AF. Gray, black, or fuck off.section_014
    • I don't love it.
      But I also don't hate it.
      That said, I'm also not an iMac user, I prefer a MBP with an external monitor.

    And for the grand finale: 256 GB hard drive's as standard. I'll not comment on memory, because the M1's seem to manage it better. But storage is storage, and 512 should be the absolute minimum.

    • Lots of us dont use hard drive space anymorenb
    • Agree with this. External or remote storage is good and all but it's a bottleneck when working with big filessausages

    Apple has become so mediocre. They really just shit stuff out. Their CPU work has saved their ass.

    Also the AR Pogs look cool.

  • monospaced3

    Fixed it.

    • Much better. The bezels should be half as thick and then it would be near perfect if this smaller chin had to be included.NBQ00
    • Agree, I left the bezels as-is. Reduced the chin to half height. Added a small logo placed like they did in the '80s.monospaced
    • With half the chin it'll need a yuge powerbricksausages

    • Not true. Try again.StoicLevels
    • This would be a more logical evolutionChimp
    • They should put the power brick in the base, or make the case a tiny bit thicker. The black bezel is required if you're watching a movie, btw.monospaced

    • Lose the bezels or gtfoh lolStoicLevels
    • That’s what everybody thought we’d get. See a page or two ago with the concept of this from another angle I posted.NBQ00
    • They could’ve done this with a tapered and thicker body on the back. Would’ve been much better solution.NBQ00
    • I think we'd all be much happier to have a thicker machine for increased screen, storage and ports. I mean how often do you ever move your machine?!Hayzilla
