I think the 20/30" cinema displays fall in the pro catagory.
I'm not questioning that; I just asked if they were shipping in black boxes now. I have not seen one "in the wild" yet, and the displays I bought in May came in white boxes.
lol it'd be funny if thats inventory of some normal person who orderd a new G% powermac and all of us are gettin crazy thinking it has something to do with the G5 imac..LMAO
They are too thick to be the current ALU displays and the second picture clearly shows some kind of stand or protuberance on the back of the display.
Even if you ignore the thickness issue, if the white side panels of the displays have been photoshopped out, then a lot of trouble was gone to to accommodate the the significantly different lighting and shadowing in the second pic.
I think it's legit.
P.S. There's no reason the box has to be the retail version. It could just be a black shipping box with an Apple logo just for the Expo.
Doesn't anyone think it looks a lot smaller in the second pic? it seems slightly zoomed out and the thumb at the top gives it a bit more perspective.
Those circles on the floor don't have to be an inch across, we have them in our toilet at work and they're much smaller.
Doesn't anyone think this could be the apple "tablet"? or even a 15 inch "smart screen" for use with desktop? - something that you can use on the desk / carry round the house / office?
I happen to have a 17" PowerBook box in my office and unfortunately the top styrofoam is gone but the bottom styrofoam looks EXACTLY the same as the one in the pictures. The problem is the black box in the pics seems like it's glossy black (reflective) where the box I have from a 17" PB ordered in 2003 is of the 'flat black' (non reflective) variety.
Anyone have the 'latest' 17" powerbook box? is it glossy on the outside or is it flat?
Also looking closely at the styrofoam it seems 'odd' to me - like what is that part sticking 'out' for? it would seem that the styrofoam halves wouldn't fit back together (if the display was put in) since the styrofoam 'outjut' would be hitting the screen.
Chalking this up to someone having fun... tisk tisk philbot (if it is a hoax).
What about the new MacWorld Paris banner? A super computer on your desk, a super computer on your wall. Next? No stand, it's an accessory to keep costs down, a big chuck of AL would cost a pretty penny.
For argument's sake, if this is the new iMac, I am throughly unimpressed with the design, compared to the 'Sunflower' iMac....
WTF would you want to mount your computer on the wall, unless you want to dedicate it to being a media-pc/TV? Completely un-ergonomic...therefore un-Apple...
IRT there being no stand visible, perhaps it is an 'option', a-la the eMac stand?
iPoster, do you own a 20" Cinema Display? Once you do you'll really want it on your wall. My desks are usally so cluttered my drives can't open on eMac or iMac. Can you imagine, not having to own seperate desks, or one massive desk? If you can't, then buy the optional stand! I want my computer to hover over anywhere I want it. Why the investment in a LCD just to have it sit in the middle of your desk with 10 inches of empty space behind it???

If you want them go to the appleinsider IRC channel and I'll DCC you them.
Is that space for a stand?
well that, to me, just looks like a computer screen kinda thingy
Thats a monitor and supposely the new G5 Imacs are all in one and there is not a keyboard connected there either

The eMac has it at the top
iBook and Powerbook have it below the screen
The old iMac and newer iMac have it below the screen
Its only the Powermacs that dont have their names on
