I agree. As I mentioned in my post; “I just like the thin bezels.” I would be fine with a slightly thicker bezel up top to make room for the webcam to remain nested in the bezel. But the sids and bottom would look lovely if slimmer.Much more a PC design language, ugly block on top with the webcam, ugly logo and text on front overall too much noise with different shapes, textures and materials.
Even though Apple does not do the following in their line of macbooks (and i wish they would), Apple seems to go for symmetric forms in the glass bezels (disregarding the chin here). Not unlike the iPad Pro/Air design language. That means a bezel that is as wide on the bottom and top, as it is on the sides. They fit the webcam into the bezel. The HP incorparates an (quite ugly, if you ask me) extra block on top of the screen.I agree.

I agree sticking up camera on there kinda ruins the thin bezel look, but I also don't see why Apple's bezel needs to be so thick just to fit the camera in. It doesn't have a better camera than iPhone does it, so why does it need to thicker than an iPhone's notch or an iPad's bezels?Even though Apple does not do the following in their line of macbooks (and i wish they would), Apple seems to go for symmetric forms in the glass bezels (disregarding the chin here).

I am a fan of the evenly divided bezels that incorporate the webcam, opposed to the sort of external webcam that ruins the total streamlined look of the computer.
But hey, at least we've found a wonderful grey-and-black all in one for all those whining about the white bezels and colorful editions
I thought Apple should have had a HomePod type finish on the iMac chin to enable forward firing speakers without obstruction
Plus I never really understood the internet's fixation on and obsession with bezel thickness 🤷♂️overall too much noise with different shapes, textures and materials.
I agree. Thin bezels make some sense for portable devices (and maybe not so much for iPads, where there is now less room to hold the edges), but do not seem like an important feature for desktops.Them bezels sure are thin. Otherwise, @Successful Sorcerer said it all:

Looks nice except for the camera on top. Should have kept it internal.
Yes, that is correct. It looks a lot better with the camera hidden. Having such a large bezel on the iMac just for a poor camera is not a good solution. A pop-up camera is a nice alternative, although this one looks over-the-top for what it needs to me. I like the idea of being able to Magsafe an iPhone to the back of an iMac with the phone camera protruding above to work as a webcam. It does have much better cameras on the back than the iMac has.AFAIK, the camera can be pushed down and hidden behind the display when not in use.
