    But I've had it with all-in-ones. I'll never buy a desktop Mac with the screen glued onto it again. 
    Your complaint is moot.  I think the new iMacs will be essentially a giant iPad with everything soldered in.  Gone will be the days where one could at least upgrade the RAM.

    What's your beef with removing the display?  Open that display once (or twice) ever in its life it too much?  I can remove and reinstall my iMac display in minutes.  It's a non-issue.
    I take it that you have never had to carry an iMac to an Apple Store for service and then take the chance they scratch it or mess up the stand.

    The thing is too big and awkward to carry in for service.
    When servicing the "computer" part they have to remove the screen and can damage it.
    When servicing my iMac once they removed the stand for some reason and couldn't get it to pivot correctly. Ended up replacing w/the current model.

    When my iMac died I replaced it with a laptop and two 5K displays. Much better. When the laptop needs service it portable :) Screens never need to leave home.
    You bought a laptop because it was easy to take in for service??  Why not a MM? I usually have my laptop plugged in to a monitor but that is because I often need to do work away from my monitor.

    It may have been freezing cold in Victoria but the water wasn't freezing cold. The water in the Victoria BC doesn’t drop below 45°f.
    Said the guy who has never swam in 45f water. Trust me - that is COOOOOLD. I have swam in 57f and trust me - that is c-c-c-c-cold enough.

  • Advertisers weigh moving to Android as iOS 14 privacy features loom

    Google makes plenty on ads on the Android platform. This site - and Apple sites - tried to ignore this fact and stick to the nonsense "Google isn't making any money on Android!"  
    The question is if the advertisers do. The fact that Google rakes in on people clicking on ads is good for google, but not necessarily great for the advertisers.

    Geez, Microsoft even copied from Apple the box design.
    Ha ha. First thing that struck me as well.

  • Apple Car could be made in the US by Hyundai in 2024

    Hyundai / Kia is very capable of building solid and reliable cars. Far more so than most prestige brands. Apple will fulfill the prestige element. It makes sense to me.
