Wow. The green is gorgeous in person! And the unboxing experience is unbelievable. I have unboxed just about everything from Apple in the past but nothing like this
Why was it unbelievable?
Everything was packaged in a way that is completely different from before. Ha the iMac is even upside down in the box!
If I order, that’s all I’ll be getting - plenty for my needs.
Wow…the yellow is very nice in person. 🙂 (Darn it, I went from wanting Yellow or Green to Green or Pink and now Yellow or Pink. 🙄😂)
As many have said, you nailed the cable management beautifully. Congratulations on your new iMac.
I also missed having the matching trackpad as I picked mine up in store. I rang apple support and after spending 45 mins on the phone to them they are sending me out the pink trackpad. I almost bought the standard silver one from apple today, good thing I rang apple first.
I got 8Gb too. Blue, 512SSD 8/8 core.
The focus on 16Gb has tended to be a bit misleading, I think. I've thrown a whole lot of work at my M1 8Gb MBA and had no issues at all with it coping, so I decided 8Gb for the iMac would be sufficient too.
In my circumstances, I don't tend to add much new software or take all that much interest in updating macOS, so if it works well today, it'll typically work well for years. And the more 8Gb M1 systems there are out there, the more invested Apple has to be in ensuring they remain viable!
And, I have to say, this iMac is beyond amazing. It was delivered yesterday and I started setting it up when I got home from work. The colors are stunning, the bezels are like the edges of an infinity pool - the eye just doesn't really see them, and the system performs astonishingly well. It has the best screen I've seen, and sound quality is surprisingly excellent.
Going to do more setup on it today. I was going to use migration assistant, but I decided that doing it manually would be a better excuse to sit at it and play.
Tell me about your cable management... love the clean look... what are the USB-C cables and all the devices under the table? GREAT JOB!
I must say.. I didn't think I would like the silver model this much.. I thought blue for me. But by comparing all these pictures the silver one looks the most 'futuristic' (for whatever that's worth). NOT because of the silvery back that looks just like the previous iMac models, but for the muted front. I like that. Actually wish the whole thing including stand was muted like that!
Yeah I just admit, I was surprised at how good it looked. I’m a huge fan of the white bezels as well as it just goes so well with the iMac.
Pink is my favorite too
Only in a forum like this where we're all obsessed with internal specs due to work flow. If you don't need it, why pay for it? You won't be disappointed.
I'm sitting here with a window that overlooks a river, blue sky, clouds, and green trees. The white bezel literally disappears. A dark bezel would be prominent and feel like it was blocking the light. The screen does look larger and just blends with nature colors.
I tried on preorder day to change to a trackpad. I was told that the only way was to cancel the whole order and start over. For the moment, they only have this as a "package" deal, but am hoping that they will make the peripherals in colors independently. I think they will definitely have to at some point as these things will get used, destroyed, lost, or become non-functional. I supposed that they could just force us to use plain white (Oh No!?! :0)), but Apple would lose a huge marketing opportunity and lots of money if they don't provide this option.
Come on, man. This is a "show off your iMac" thread. If someone were showing you their new car, would you say, "I'm glad you're happy but I think it's a truly terrible design"? Not very tactful!
Thank you for letting us know,your opinion is noted and I hope Apple come up with something that you will like.
That grey desk protector looks amazing - can you share brand and model? Please 🥳
OK - found reply on page 1 - "Formgut" 😂

I’m jealous of everyone with tidy desks 😂 I call mine “organized chaos.” I don’t think I can show my iMac until I clean up.
I still use a 2013 27" in another location and it's still running fine. If you wait a year, you should be able to get a really nice used 2021 for your new home for a lot less money. Or, you will purchase a new one with additional features and we will all be jealous of you!!
I have it
