I love the looks in general, and the deep, saturated back and sides appeal to me. However I’m not attracted to the pastel front part and base, so I’m likely to purchase a 4.5K iMac model in Boring Old Silver.

People complained about a lot of new Apple products that ended up being beloved, from the original iMac and its various colors to the Airpods to even the original, now iconic Macintosh back in 1984. À Chacun Son Goût
I’ve used one of the M1 MacBooks and the speed is exemplary, it runs cool, and has amazing battery life. Even the limited 16Gb RAM have proven not to be a real-world limitation given how the internal SSD swap speed has been tested as close to RAM speeds.
Given that a high-quality 4K monitor goes for $600+ the pricing of the new iMacs seems fair. I’ll probably miss the extra couple of inches off my 5K iMac

When I saw the colors I realized how grey Apple had become. Thank you Jony Greystoke.
In the two days since the iMac colors hit the market, I’ve received two ads in email from Apple, touting colorful things, with lots of images of colorful Apple products. Of course, in one ad the “colors” were the Technicolor images displaying on the faces of a black Watch, a grey iPhone, and a grey iPad. But, the next day, Apple sent an advert offering a purple iPhone. Change is good.
The color iMacs are playful and pleasant, and I like them. They would fit in well in New Horizons. Might not be technically perfect; but could be enjoyable to us.

I don’t use Macs. I’ve never used Macs. But these new Macs really do tempt me…

I remember seeing a This Week in Tech video that showed an early OSX Mac with the “top” utility running in a terminal window. That’s when I knew Macs were likely in my future. Pretty GUI, Unix under the hood, what’s not to like?
