This iMac concept is ridiculous in the best possible way» www.youtube.com/watch?fe ··· FilFcMSM» www.theverge.com/2015/1/ ··· h-homage" Set out in a series of detailed renders, the conceptual iMac combines the internal components of an 11.6-inch MacBook Air with the addition of a touchscreen and the new reversible USB connector. Its shape echoes that of the original Mac, though the rear bulk of the computer has sensibly been excised, leaving only a striking aluminum shape. The floppy disk drive of the original has been converted into a speaker grille in the modern version, which also houses an SD card slot, a FaceTime camera, and a microphone. There's nothing particularly practical or realistic about this iMac, which is probably why it feels so sublimely desirable. " |

I like the concept design for its nostalgia but a more modern aesthetic would suite my tastes better.
A larger screen for example, not so much wasted space on the front and maybe using the edge or back for some types of connections like USB / card reader.
Nice though,.... |

id also question that thing's stability it is not angled as a stable platform. as in it looks like the cat walking too close could tip it over.
of course odds are this is just a fan created render, There is no shortage of these in the Apple community. But I guess it would make an interesting conversation piece. "iMac Air" |

As Kearnstd says, it's got to be pretty easy to knock it over.... The extra bend is there to evoke the shape of the original macintosh. (» upload.wikimedia.org/wik ··· ssic.jpg) |

Ahhh, okay, I see it now.... I remember the original Macs, but admittedly didn't recall that the monitor portion stuck out like that. |
