    My mother was single with 5 kids and only a graphic design degree and no computer to do it with. (Around 1999 I wanna say) a brand new clear teal-ish iMac was delivered to our door, obviously sent by a friend or neighbor who knew there was a need. To this day our family has no idea who sent it, and although we were still incredibly poor, we were able to survive. Those old clear iMacs, odd as they looked, hold a special place in my heart.

    I really like iMac’s, they’re very user friendly for family rooms. The chin doesn’t bother me because it’s part of the aesthetic. And the white bezels are nice to help blend in with most interior designs. I get how it can be a hit or miss with some people though. I think it’s a typical Apple move in terms of design and their target market.

    • @rhysowen9566
      @rhysowen9566 2 года назад +12

      I don't see how the white bezel blends in with most interior designs when it's surrounding a 24inch black screen. When the iMac is off I feel like it stands out much more in most environments

    • @seRAEtonin
      @seRAEtonin 2 года назад +30

      @@rhysowen9566 it blends in because white matches with everything. Same way black pieces of clothing can be mix and matched with any other color. It’s about the versatility. Actual shades of color are harder to match in interior spaces unless you’re going for a colorful look.
      I mean no matter what, a monitor or tv usually has a bezel or even a thin chin. The iMacs look isn’t for everyone. But I think many people can agree that the white bezels add a minimalistic and clean look to the screen while giving people a place to touch if they need to adjust or move the computer around.

    • @rhysowen9566
      @rhysowen9566 2 года назад +9

      @@seRAEtonin my point was the screen is still black when it is turned off, and when it is turned off I've found it catches the eye more in most living environments because that large black surface is now in a glossy white frame. The marketing material and almost every image/video you see online has a lightly coloured background or screensaver which doesn't convey the true look of the iMac when it isn't in use.

    • @seRAEtonin
      @seRAEtonin 2 года назад +8

      @@rhysowen9566 at the end of the day if it’s not your aesthetic, nobody is forcing you to buy the iMac. If you prefer an all black monitor without white bezels because it’s less eye catching then buy a monitor and the Mac mini or tower to go with it, or get a windows computer system with whatever monitor blends better in your opinion.
      For me personally, as I mentioned, I feel that the white bezels look nice and help it blend in bright open spaces. Will it stick out in dark small rooms? Of course. But again, very dependent on user preference.
      If you’re criticizing Apple’s marketing of their desktops, well all I can say is that it works and is appealing, whether we agree with it or not. To some people, aesthetic is more important and the Apple aesthetic especially is ideal for many so, to each their own.

    I actually love that they have the chin. Both visually and practically. I often have to kinda rotate the computer to access the usb ports in the back and also need some support when sticking stuff in to those ports(I change the stuff there quite often because I do photography). The chin gives you a safe place to touch the front side of hhe screen without leaving fingerprints to the glass.

      The one thing that seems like it’s not a matter of opinion though is that Apple will have a harder time transitioning to a thicker device than a thin one. If they want to make a thicker, “better” iMac later, they’ll have to get around the perception of a step backwards.

    • @gunterlauch2264
      @gunterlauch2264 3 года назад +1

      @@IanSmithKSP don‘t think so. Many High end and professional products are more beefy which suggests that there is more to it. High end cars are wider, have wider tyres.. etc. Of course it has to be combined with good design, but it beeing more beefy does not mean it‘s perception will be bad.

    • @ashwinbhat95
      @ashwinbhat95 3 года назад +1

      This is a big problem I see with RUclips reviews, particularly for laptops and desktops. Most look at performance through one thing - video editing, which most consumers are unlikely to do at a professional level. You have to consider the target demographic the product is aimed at, rather than trying out the same thing on every product.

    Hi Marquee,
    I have just found this video and really liked your presentation. I fully agree about the fact the thickness of the computer is completely irrelevant as ,say, a 20 - 25 mm thick computer could have accommodated the headphone Jack and a couple of USB-A ports. I also think that the stand would have looked better if they had used the same curved design as the 21.5 inch iMac.

    I have the blue iMAC entry level model. I love it. The monitor , sound , mic, camera are excellent. The machine is fast....I mean really fast. The thin design with the white bezel looks awesome. I honestly think that the only reason people complain about the white bezel is because the black bezel is all they have ever seen on everything....especially if they are under about 30 years of age (which many tech reviewers are). I only need the two ports. However, I added the SATECHI clamp style USB hub, which also colour matched the iMAC and gave me several USB ports and two SD card slots which means that maybe I do actually need more ports LOL. The ports also allow external storage. The chin is also a cool design element in that it shows the pastel colour of your machine and is a place for the sound....it's almost like a sound bar.

They also seem to be leaning into "all-flat" designs lately; starting with iPad Pro in '18, iPhone 12 last year, new iMac, and based on leaks - new MacBooks coming soon.
