Linus, I don’t understand your complaints about the Magic Mouse. I mean, the first time I got it I was like, this is nuts! Why can’t I charge and keep working agh! But in 6 months of owning the M1 Mcbook Air, I’ve charged the mouse once… And I use it a LOT! I study design, so it’s basically on me all day 🤷🏻‍♀️

Why are people acting like this formfactor is something special? Other manufacturers already had similar systems for years now... currently, look at the Acer Aspire S 24, which looks nicer than the new iMac (imo). The pc is in the stand, but also comes with features like wireless charging in the stand... screen is very sleek looking... and it can be ordered with 11th gen i7.

[@taylorbroad8941]

Also to note, they offer a VESA version as well. Which, I think, when paired with wireless peripherals, is a great option for reception desks or offices with a customer facing situation.

[@Frog-ko6uu]

Especially with the Ethernet already in the adapter, that’s one cable to worry about and when the peripherals eventually need to be charged there’s always an iPhone charger around somewhere

[@whette_fahrtz]

@@Frog-ko6uu Yeah the charging thing is so overblown. You can literally just plug it in for like 10 seconds and have enough charge to last until your lunch break, then just plug it in when you leave your desk. It ain't hard. I used a MM for years without it ever interrupting my work. You can get the stand replaced with a VESA mount, or vice versa after the fact as well through AppleCare and a small fee. In the iFixit teardown you can see the big row of screws holding the stand in.

I work in IT and I was wheeling one of these to an office in another building. When I was exiting the first building, there was a dip and the front wheels of the cart dropped down and the iMac started quickly rolling forward. My heart fucking dropped and I managed to catch it. I cannot imagine how I’d feel if it rolled all the way off and hit the ground

I just got finished watching a video from Shadiversity about how people confuse Damascus Steel with Folded Steel when in reality they are not the same thing.

[@robinwalia5361]

Ok I have an idea, in the first half of the video, show us the slick shots of the product without the skin and the other half with the skin so you can still get the sponsorship.

[@xenonram]

It is sent to them from dbrand. Dbrand buys the Apple products, applies the skin, then sends it to LMG. So they don't ever have it without the skin. You can see tons of pics of it without the skin online. So that's really not necessary. Just picture it liking like every other iMac that's been made in the past 20 years. It's silver metal. And since they have 6 other colors, showing the silver one is kind of pointless.
