The New iMac (real, with a photo!)

[ultimatebob]

Just in case you didn't want to wait until Steve Jobs's "offical" announcement tomorrow morning at Mac Expo, Time Canada has article with photographs of the new iMac. Kinda cool how the monitor seems to float in the air, don't you think?

First thing I thought: How are you spose to tweak and or modify it.

You're not.

What about the ?d-mac, v-mac, and bi-mac

 

[Keego]

must...seee...guts....

 

Very ugly. Worse than the old one, IMHO.

 

[kami]

Terrifyingly grotesque....vomit-inducing. Ugly.

If I wanted a desk lamp I'd buy one, not some crapass Mac which is actually less useful.

 

[SSP]

Ugly! At least the old one could be used as a fish bowl.

 

[Random Variable]

WTF? :frown:

 

[Burnt]

hmmm...another fanless wonder.

It looks like a make-up mirror!

Honestly!

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!!!

EXACTLY what I was thinking.

 

[Random Variable]

It does look like a vanity. I wonder if it comes with lipstick and eyeliner.

No self respecting man would be caught using one of these things.

Only ditzy bimbos and transvestites.

the lcd looks like it could be broken off fairly easily.

I actually sort of like the idea of computer being a small and silent. Apple seems to do a much better job in that area than PCs.

 

[RGN]

Jobs is going to have the Times ass for publishing that...

If it is really real that is.

Chalk up another reason why I purchased a laptop. Who enjoys the chaos that is, PC cooling?

Not me. Kudos to the designers at Apple. Now I don't have to worry about upgrading my PC. I know exactly what I'm going to get.

 

[FrontlineWarrior]

that is one ugly POS

I hate stupid macs... i had to spend 7hrs tonight at work on one. apple can go away and die for all I care.

 

[FrontlineWarrior]

and by the way, who is that "heterosexually challenged" guy standing next to "Jobs" on the cover?

 

[Nefrodite]

well if you think about it, its enough to surf these forums

I'd say competition - but they don't provide much competition.

Jobs wanted the new IMac to be "true to itself" and to look like a "sunflower". It's
Jobs' philosophy that "less is way more"(lol!). However nothing is as telling about this
new super Mac machine as a six page article that dedicates 4 pages to the design, 2
pages to Jobs and absolutely nothing about the system specs. What processor
does it use? How much RAM does it have? Will it still use the "revolutionary" Rage 128
card? I guess if you cared about any of those questions, you'd probably wouldn't look
at a Mac in the first place.

exactly. its not meant for nerds, its meant for your mom or your sister or whoever else. its meant to be simple, easy, and unintrusive, which is a good thing for "normal" computer users. but it is a bit....garish
