Desperate for a larger iMac refresh.

What does the Armchair-Predictor reveal?

I just want an M1 iMac without a white border on the screen, don't care what size it is. Maybe I'm just too particular, but I'm surprised the white border didn't bother more people. It's jarring when the computer is off, or when watching a show (what TVs have white borders?), or when in dark mode, and even when the screen is on you still have that thin black border. Maybe this is just a preference thing, or maybe my feelings actually reflect objective aesthetic truths, and people just don't notice these irregularities enough for it to matter, just like they don't notice the drops of morning dew on a dandelion, or the hue of the sunset, or that the gd light turned green one minute ago.

The black screen bezels wasn’t always a thing. Monitors used to have a beige bezel, or a grey bezel, usually.

Seems like that was more a function of limited tech at the time. I think Apple has done an amazing job pushing design forward, including the sleek, single pane screen with black bezel.

When black bezels came out, people complained.

People love to complain lol. The iPhone 4 being a good example of this of course.

You’ll get used to this too.

I'd prefer not to have to get used to what seems like a step backwards. Although, maybe people love it. I just hope we get a black bezel option.

in general, black bezels are thought to be better for still and video editing. I tend to agree. But white, or light grey (which these are closer to) are thought to be better for graphics publishing and general writing. 

Very interesting. I can't imagine why, but interesting nonetheless!

with bezels becoming smaller, the colot becomes less important.

I kind of like the roomy bezel on the current intel iMacs, feels like it's presenting the screen content, helps differentiate it from the background behind the computer, although it could be a tad smaller I suppose (like the size of the M1 iMacs).

Whataboutism. 

Lol. I can't believe people actually think this is some sort of rebuttal. Embarrassing.

Good, I hope it’s true. Anyone that has any sanity left should be opposed to this bill, for many reasons, climate nonsense being just one. Climate is purely a political issue and a way to manipulate economies. Even if you failed grade school science and somehow believe that extremely low levels of gaseous plant fertilizer is somehow bad for the planet, the political efforts to reduce CO2 do nothing. 

The graphic that you shared thoroughly undermines your comment. The scientific conclusions are clear, human-induced climate change will be devastating. 

And pray tell: just how do “they” manipulate economies? Did fossil fuels not forever alter economies? Or, are you a Saudi, desperately worried about the future of your despotic little petro-kingdom?

Huh? How does it undermine my comment??

Why are you putting "they" in quotes?

Fossil fuels alter economies tremendously, they've facilitated the growth of the modern age, brought nations out of poverty, saved countless lives by freeing up resources and manpower to study science, medicine, etc.

Am I a Saudi? Are you high?? Your responses to everything seem incredibly childish.

Well, it was you who wrote "Climate is purely a political issue and a way to manipulate economies", effectively undermining anything else you might have to say.
