So happy with the Yellow iMac

I love the yellow iMac, if they keep the same colors when they do the next refresh I may well pick one up. Quite like the design aesthetic you've got going on there.
Is this really how other people live? My life is just a series of crusty old boxes.
Looks fantastic. You’ve done a fab job with the room layout and vibe.
Enjoy your new machine!

Good photos. Obviously a comforting space for those who like warm tones and who look at an iMac as an objet d'art, which is not unreasonable. Fine for a language lab, but be aware that all that yellow, especially the iMac, mean that if anyone ever intends images work they will have their color perception substantially modified and no longer reasonably accurate.
Personally I prefer the idea of the beautiful iMac being a bit contrasty space gray, and standing out as the pricey tech objet d'art that it is.
Thanks for sharing these photos.
Space looks great, yellow iMac really complements it!

Ah yes, The Little Lebowski Urban Achievers, proud we are of all of them.
My biggest gripe is the Africa-sized gap between eastern Russia and Alaska. If that's a common representation in Asia, then Asians must be shocked when they see a globe lol.
Mapmaking is hard, because one is depicting thousands of 3D square kilometers on a tiny 2D map. That is why there are are so many different projections with mapmakers trying to communicate different things.
A globe being 3D is best in many ways but is also the largest change in scale; even an orographic globe is not to scale in the vertical orientation or it does not communicate the orography as intended. Even small easy local city maps are never really true even to 2D, because just the necessary width of lines blows the scale off; the lines depicting streets for instance are much wider than the streets themselves.
And all that is without the global issue of where political boundaries are to be drawn (e.g. Ukraine, Crimea, etc.). And IMO defining map boundaries will get more difficult as sea level changes force population relocations.

Really nice setup. The only thing that would make your set up look better would be dropping in an iPad Pro and dropping the iMac off to a new buyer. 😌
Love the setup, and really cute blinds. The yellow iMac fits very well on that environment.
My favorite iMac colors are the orange one, and the green one. If I had to choose, I don’t know which one I’d get, but fortunately I’m more of a Mac mini user. I’d love a Mac mini redesigned in those colors tho.

Thank you for the kind post.
In this particular case I knew the bright cheerful yellow was the ideal color... Zero regrets.
However, all the colors look great... Imagine how nice a computer lab would look with a rainbow of colors.
And like you I'm a big fan of the Mac Mini + Apple Studio Display.... My only qualm is the price of the ASD.
When the 2011 iMac used in my home office kicks the bucket I'll probably opt for the Mac Mini & Apple Studio Display. I have yet to see a beautiful glossy monitor with excellent speakers and build quality that rivals Apple's.

Wish they offered the same many color choices for the Mac Studio?
I have no interest in getting another iMac unless they offered a 34 inch screen.
you pay decent money for the Mac Studio. you should get more than just silver
not even space gray is an option
thanks Timmy Cook.

Looks wonderful. I agree the iMacs are a great computer. I am going today to pick up a new one. I am in Toronto so in Canadian dollars this one works out to about $3,100. I last bought a 27" iMac in Dec 2014. Think in Canadian dollars I paid about $3400 although I believe I am taking the same upgraded options as earlier. My 2014 version still works, almost flawlessly. Perfect for browsing, email, etc although slowing down when I have far too many applications going at once. Hope this one is as good as my 2014 iMac. However am still going for the silver version on my end.
Have you considered upgrading the 2014 iMac? New SSD, Ram upgrades?
No I hadn't, to be honest. I tend to use only one machine at a time. I did purchase a MacBook Air in late 2019 and I have only used it, perhaps 10x? But it might be worthwhile as you mention to upgrade this older one as I do find I prefer a larger screen than a laptop offers. Thanks for the reminder to do so.
You may be surprised by some of the speed differences you can get, especially if your 2014 iMac has a spinning hard drive.
No need to buy bother with SSD and RAM upgrades, which can be difficult to install and fussy once they are installed, when you've already got an excellent machine in the 2019 MacBook Air. Just connect the Air to a large external monitor, which (if you don't already own one) will probably cost less than the upgrades.
