Except that it wouldn't. Not to mention it would be two inches off the desk, it would just look like any old tft monitor.
I'm glad they kept the chin - just wish it would say iMac somewhere on it.

Uhh, why? That'd be horrible from a design perspective. They don't stick "Mac Mini" on the Mini or "Mac Pro" on the Mac Pro. And the "MacBook" and "MacBook Pro" names are very inconspicuous, on the bottom bezel inside the notebook.
Logo and brand placement are important, but you never overdo it. Apple knows that. It's part of the reason why the Apple logo disappeared from the Command key.
You mean, like this? iMac, sans chin with a thinner version of the Edge.
Looks great. I don't want to sound like I am criticizing your efforts, just an observation
Given Apples push to make the iMac thinner, then the chin is needed to house more of the inards, and will therefore not go away too soon. I do not think they could move stuff around on the inside enough to eliminate the chin, but hey, would look great if they could.
Also like how they show the side shot with the computer on a bit of an angle to use depth perception, and the black back of the iMac as well, to give the illusion of its thinness - oh it is thin, but the side view makes it look as thin as a cinema display.
And I got me a 24 as soon as the Ginza Apple Store opened Wednesday morning and I am happy I did so. I have run out of space in my little Tokyo apartment and did not want to wait for a new MacPro redesign or a mini-tower to take up less space, so decided to replace my original circa late 2004 PowerMac G5 with the new iMac (didnt really and wont need the power of a tower so iMac it was)
Will post pictures of my Mac family when I get home (New iMac, MacBook, G4 PowerBook - and my soon to be sold G5)
yea. 'cept i like black (black desk, black bookshelf, blackbook, black is back) so it makes everything look halloween-y year round.
pcorajr, nice. How you liking the new keyboard? I'm absolutely in love with it, I've never typed so better. Love how quiet it is as well. Sounds like you're typing on a calculator.
The more of these new imacs I see in actual places, the more I begin to like the looks of them. I was questioning the design at first, but I believe I can now say I like them. Maybe thats just because some of the new imac setups i've seen have been great.
And about the design of it and how people want a chinless imac. Well, after watching the disassembly of the new one I don't believe there is a chance that will happen with out changing the thickness, or changing the components like a smaller sized hd.

I quite like the chin at the bottom, you know it's Apple's style. I also notice how the Apple logo is now black which the same is for the Apple menu for Leopard. Perhaps this is why they are following this look for the exterior...

Next Cinema Display Perhaps?
Thank you, To be honest i was a bit skeptical about the new keyboard, as you can see i have a logitec keyboard that i use to play wow, i was 100% sure i was going to replace the iMac keyboard and mouse with my PC setup. But as you said, the keyboard is a dream to type in. I love the style and feel. I also love the fact that I can slant it and wrap my hand around it.
That might change once i start playing wow on the Mac but for the time being i love the new keyboard.
I agree whit you, when I see the new iMacs in actual places the more I start to like them.
I'm still getting used to the new iMac. I saw one in person the other day, loved the keyboard. At times I think they're the best looking iMacs ever, but other times I kind of miss white, as the black and silver remind me of every other monitor.
Another thing that kind of bugs me is that the iMac no longer matches the MacBook or even the iPod (though I'm sure the 6th gen. iPod will match it).
Off subject, when do you guys think Apple will redesign the MacBook Pro? When will they upgrade the keyboard to be like the MacBook's/iMac's?

The more new iMac setups I see, the more I want mine!! I believe the estimated delivery date is the 15th. They just got my money order today. Man, I can't wait!
Except that it was like that on the last generation of iMacs and looked absolutely fine.
I was wondering how do you people hook up the Xbox 360 with your external monitor? I have a DELL E207WFP 20" widescreen. And I'm going to buy xbox360 halo edition end of august.
I be posting mine is about 1 1/2 weeks when I get it monday the 20th tax free in delaware! My dad is driving me down to delaware from jersey! I'll get it for 1400 since my dad is state police(goverment discount!). Then I'll post it! IO'll have an external screen for my b-day which is in october! Can't wait!
Was it really worth the swap?
they are both MBP's not even a powerbook so the first one musnt of been that old
i bought the one MBP then a few days later the new ones came out and students get a free iPod so i figured why not?? faster better computer(by a bit) and a free ipod. so i swapped them but because of complications (long story) i had 2 for one day
Your photo suggests quite a difference between the two systems displaying the same image. In real life is it as visible or have you played with settings etc on one of them.
You should have gotten the 2007WFP rather than the budget E207 if that's what you wanted to use it for - the 2007 has composite, S-video, and VGA inputs in addition to the DVI that the E207 has on board.
