No guarantees, though. :D

Does this paradox sum up the state of the forum currently?

Or does this superfluous post sum it up more accurately?

I hope it arrives tomorrow.
 
I just can't describe how ugly I think that mock up is. I mean...it's just beyond ugly. The symmetry of it, the colors, everything about it is just UGLY.

But with that out of the way, yes, I do want a new iMac...hopefully the one that comes out tomorrow looks like the current models or if it's revamped I hope it looks like the opposite of that image :D

No.. we do not want. :confused::confused: wtf

That thing is so hideously ugly.. maybe take away the silver frame and even out the black borders and it will look.. a little bit more acceptable.. but it's far from an improvement. More like a down grade

Hope they were just trolling
 
If Apple were to remove the "chin" from their iMac (it would likely take some work and there would likely be more heat issues), the end result would probably look similar to their Cinema Display:

It appears as though Apple is moving away from the metallic border - it is less apparent on iPhone 4, iPad 2, and the latest iPod touch, plus there needs to be more symmetry for the borders of that mock-up.
 
What the hell is it with people and the iMac chin.. the chin is lovely.. people go overboard on minimalism. If it didn't have the chin it would just look plain boring, like any other branded monitor I can buy in store like the cinema display.. The cinema display doesn't look unique at all and I'll disagree with whoever begs to differ.

:apple: Chin ftw.

[Edit] I could take a picture of my LG TV right now.. it looks just like the Cinema screen, as do most TVs. I don't want my iMac looking like my LG TV or any other flat screen TV.. geez
 
Seriously, though, what is the utility of the 'chin'?

Whatever it is... I say, keep the chin, just give me a Bluray drive or an HDMI-in port.
 
I do really want it to happen tomorrow but at the same time i have not reached my goal to buy my "dream imac" but one more paycheck and I should be totally fine. But then again maybe we will see SSD standard and such and itll all work out?
 
I don't think there have been any leaks because there isn't too much to be expected outside of Thunderbolt, faster CPUs/GPUs, and perhaps increased standard RAM. Plus, the "spy" shots are much harder when you're dealing with huge boxes (compared to the MacBook Pros, iPhones, etc.).
 
The new iMac is already done, but my source told me that this will probably not be delivered tomorrow (he don't get these info for sure).

But he saw an Macbook prototype with a keyboard keys made of glass.
 
So when I type super quick on the new Macbook I'll get glass shards in my fingers?

lol

I dont think that you can broke glass with the same size/height of the actual keyboard (like wireless keyboard).

Actually he don't told "it is glass", more something like "looks to be made of glass", I don't know, maybe acrylic, like the mouse, or the touchpad (can you broke the touchpad clicking fast?)

But these infos are hot. My source is very trustable. I guarantee.
 
The iMac chin is for....

Post-It Notes for people who haven't adopted the software version yet, aka my parents and grandparents.
 
just talked to a guy i used to work with at Best Buy, who is now a manager there, and he said they will be arriving at 7 a.m. tomorrow.

It's unbelievable to me how Apple keeps these things so quiet. Brilliant!
