I just worry about the cable management....all coming out of the left hand side, there'll have to be some kind of clip to group all the cables together and take them away near the stand.
Apart from that I quite like the minimalism of it.
If that pic is indeed correct then Apple has finally designed an ugly computer. Compared to the current iMac which IMO was an instant hit "looks-wise" this one sucks.
Please tell me that pic is fake.....I mean come on, a white display with an alu base?!?! wtf is that about?
Well I think it's cool looking, but WTF about that video card. I thought you guys were wining over the possibilities of Apple putting that crap in the system. I never anticipated they would actually do it. What a load of crap, moving on nothing to see here?..

Look at the back of the stand. There's a hole there for the cables to get routed through. So all the cables will run down the center. I suspect the left-hand alignment is a by-product of the board design.
Nope, it's the real deal. I'm sure it looks better in person but it is a giant step backwards in design, especially with all the cables dangling. I'm no fan of the new displays either of course. It had better come with a wireless keyboard and mouse as standard. I'm happy though as I now know that I will be getting a PowerBook. This is a relief for me.
I like it. Bet it will look even better in person. This is much better then I thought it would be. Clean, simple (like the iPod) and actually cheaper then the old model. Can a computer fly? This one will, off the shelves. Perfect companion to iPod users.
