Did anyone else catch that there's now a Built-in VESA Mount Adapter option for buying the new 24'' iMac?

Thanks for pointing that out. None the less, it would appear that there is a significant redesign of the mechanism.

This is nice that they offer this option, for a clean desk with a Vesa mounted arm will look minimalistic.

An interesting wrinkle is that if you buy a 24" iMac with the VESA mount and then later wish to go to the stand, it can be done (for a fee) by Apple. And I believe you can go from stand to VESA. Evidently they just swap out the back shell as the hardware is built-in to the shell so it is easier than the Intel models.

So you are no longer locked in to your choice and have to completely replace the machine if you change your mind (or use one of the third party VESA options that clamps onto the stand).
