I prefer my two flat 27" Studio Displays because if one dies, the other continues. These huge curved screens are great unless it quits. As these curved displays are typically the sole display, the user is out of luck unless there is a battle spare in the closet.

The good news for the NAY sayers is that they do not have to buy a M3 iMac. Take your marbles to another sand pile. Apple will not miss your departure.

The iMac line is not a major player for many folks, but it is an excellent low cost alternative for many entities and niche market users.

For some folks, this iMac is inexpensive enough to be the sacrificial computer for the kids to use vs the parents much more expensive equipment.

I will be adding one to my "Apple" Collection this spring for use as a summer print server in the mountains and an email and web browser machine. I am not launching rockets or doing programming or intensive photo work.

It has been years since I went to a movie theater. The last one was a Cinema MAX theater for the likes of Avatar. 

But to be fair, I also don't watch many movies at home either. Series yes, movies no.

I wonder if the brain trusts at Apple remember the story of the Golden Goose?

All their top models have sky high prices that are really absurb for the general public.

The estimates of their cost structures from the bills of material suggest a nearly doubling of their costs for the top models (especially where  memory and SSD prices are concerned). Apple currently charges $2,200 for their 8TB option SSD vs about half that amount for the 8TB SSD from OWC than can connect to other devices es over USB-C.

The left over discretionary funds for the majority of folks here is a decreasing number as all the other costs of “living” are going up due to corporate greed. Just look at their profits in their required reports.,
