the more i look at it, the better I like it...

at first glance the white space benieth the the screen (seen from the front) bugged me... reminds me of the eMac...

but like I said... the more I look...

but it truly is a remarkable design... to fot all this into that box. And if they cand fit a G5 in that, we don't have to wait long for the G5 powerbook... :twisted:

I also questioned the white on the bottom of the screen. It does look similar to a emac. All in all I like it but I’m an apple whore. I live everything they do.

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't

mean they aren't out to get you.

same complaint as everyone else, that white space at the bottom takes away from the overall look. it would have been really cool if they could have taken the new aluminum displays and stuck the computer behind it and have a very thin bezel.

oh well, still cool. but i want a G5 powerbook!!!

later,

Apparently Time magazine likes it:

Quote:

If Apple's history is any guide, most computers sold over the next four years will have this clean, all-in-one display look. That history also suggests that very few of them will be iMacs. Apple is notorious for not having the supply to keep up with demand. Indeed, the release of this iMac was delayed by a shortage of the superfast G5 chips. At least iPod owners will have something to listen to while they wait.
