No mention of how this device gets its power. Presumably not from that Apple Watch charger that's inexplicably included in the photo.

It’s a doorbell.. it’s wired… it is powered off your existing doorbell wiring.

No chin, at last!

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.

You expect average people to remove the iMac's display? That's pretty unreasonable.

And from my perspective you're missing the point. If something goes wrong with the CPU or other core component, when the screen is still fine, then there's no reason to remove the screen. The whole point to having a separate screen is so that you don't have to throw out the monitor when the CPU dies. Both of my last two iMacs have given me blue screens of death every week after the first three years (with nothing but Apple's OS on the system.) Yes, I've reinstalled the OS and taken them in to Apple for testing, and they could find nothing. It's just random crashing, and it feels like the Intel CPU. I will never buy an Intel CPU again, even though I can't prove that that's the cause of the problem.

I've had to throw out my iMac screens with my CPUs because they are built in and can't be separated every time the CPU dies. What a waste. 

It extremely unreasonable to believe that average people actually do anything to upgrade their systems. Most don't and those that do, have someone else do it.

And, I think you're missing the point... If you don't like AIO then don't buy one. A lot of people do like them and it's nice HAVING A CHOICE.

Also, aren't all laptops AIO systems? Are you going to argue that they are a waste as well?

You said it’s nice having a choice? Well where is the choice for those of us who don’t want the all-in-one? Plenty of us want a nice large display, made by Apple, and a power-user machine that’s made with a thermally tolerant design and the ability to replace storage devices and RAM. Where’s our choice?
