My mind is blown at how thin this is. My goodness.

 

[Darko]

That's the most impressive thing so far.

too bad its gonna be expensive as fuck.

 

[buhdeh]

Why does it matter how thin a desktop computer is? It sits in one place, you don't carry it anywhere.

Kind of agree here... would rather have something better than laptop specs

Rounded back looks kinda awkward.. I like the current design better.

 

[numble]

Laminated display.

 

[Radec]

Jesus Christ.

That thing is a beaut.

 

[KingKong]

aw no retina

 

[massoluk]

What the fuck. They are wizards. How can it be that thin.

 

[flyover]

Does it even have ports? It'd be fascinating if it doesn't.

 

[Technosteve]

that is fucking thin

 

[brotkasten]

It is a desktop computer... did they make it thinner just for the marketing bullet point?

Pretty much. No other manufacturer has something like that on the market. I personally don't think that it looks good with the bulge on the back, but I can see how people are already falling in love with it.

 

[DJ_Lae]

Looks neat, although I have a feeling it's going to come at the expense of its internals.

Really, for something that isn't portable it doesn't need to be that thin.

 

[MThanded]

The Verge:"This is pretty stunning, but the thinness of the edge is kind of an optical illusion — it gets much thicker towards the middle."

Still, it is nice.

She got a big booty so I call her big booty!!

 

[shadyspace]

lol looks like a flatscreen tube tv

 

[zou]

Lol, I remember something about phone thinness and how you can't just measure the thinnest part. Guess that only applies to phones though

Exactly. They remove features and potentially compromise specs just for a marketing bullet point.

 

[Sean]

Holy shit at this iMac. My body/credit card is ready. Put the store up, Apple!

 

[xxracerxx]

Does it even have ports? It'd be fascinating if it doesn't.

Yes, they are still on the back. It is like a teardrop on the back.

 

[Ragus]

No retina

 

[nib95]

As long as the iMac isn't any more expensive, the thinness is great. But only of it's the same price. Otherwise for desktop use, it's not really necessary.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Wait for the kicker. Retina Display.

Edit: Aww.

 

[JackEtc]

My neighbors are going to need a DVD drive. Damn, they really want a new iMac.... =\

 

[AlphaTwo00]

Thats an amazing display but where is the actual computer?

Not sure if serious.

 

[Aiii]

The edge might be thin, but theres still an arse. Is this really that important? :/

Nah, it's a desktop, you put it on your desk and unless it's old CRT-type thick it doesn't really matter if it's one cm or fifteen cm thick.

 

[Jb]

Beautiful

 

[polyh3dron]

Please give us a badass GPU

680M 2GB pls

I don't get why they keep sacrificing things people still use like drives to tout thinness.

 

[JBuccCP]

Look at how thin this tapered edge is holy shit man there's a whole computer in this thing that's twice the size of a laptop no way!

 

[Gary Whitta]

So very very bought.

 

[magawolaz]

Please be cheap!

 

[Baconsammy]

External optical drive better be included for free. Otherwise who gives a crap that a desktop is thin if it means I dont get a drive?

 

[darkwing]

how did they do that??

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Who cares if a desktop is thin? I'm in that group as well. It sits on your desk, hehe.

 

[.GqueB.]

After the initial shock, not sure I care that it's thinner. I just want it to run better and faster than my current one. I REALLY hope they didn't sacrifice performance for aesthetic.

 

[Kodiak]

Yep. That's a beaut. Gonna buy one for my GF for christmas.

 

[Enco]

If I wasn't a PC gamer I would probably buy this as my desktop.

Shame it will never be as good as my current gaming rig.

 

[RSLAEV]

Thats an amazing display but where is the actual computer?

It's a giant iPad with a stand welded on.

 

[Chuckl3s]

Where the fuck is the dvd drive!

 

[smr00]

I don't get why they keep sacrificing things people still use like drives to tout thinness.

No drive no buy.

Then again i don't buy apple computers so i am not worried. I do however want to see these ipad minis.

 

[LCfiner]

laminated display. sweet. and they're shipping 27" models like this. nice.

edit: can't believe there are dinosaurs here complaining about lack of a DVD drive. writing has been on the wall for years, people. drives are dead.

 

[Battlezone]

It's beautiful, but there's no way you're updating anything on that thing. Glad I got last year's model.

 

[noah111]

Thats an amazing display but where is the actual computer?

:lol

 

[Nero3000]

Humpback of NotraMac

Impressed by the laminated display though.

 

[Deepo]

Give me a Cinema Display based on this goodness please!

 

[AlphaTwo00]

External optical drive better be included for free. Otherwise who gives a crap that a desktop is thin if it means I dont get a drive?

They'd sell you an external one for a price, of course.

 

[Weenerz]

Mother of god, that thing is beautiful.

 

[LyleLanley]

Where the fuck is the dvd drive!

At your nearest Apple store.

 

[Brinbe]

Jaysus Christ... those are p. fucking impressive.

 

[victreeb3l]

i wonder if they will announce a new thunderbolt display thats similarly thin soon

 

[polyh3dron]

ugh no GPU details, just "Kepler"

 

[Anticitizen One]

No drive no buy.

Must be nice living in the past. Does the army there still use horses and bayonets?
