The New iMac: One Thing Too Many

Apple Matters: "The new iMac has it all. A G5 Processor and a stunning design. It is fascinating to look back at the evolution of the iMac design. The first, now famous, Bondi Blue iMac with its futuristic all-in-one design. Next the cube-like-base with a unique swivel arm holding a beautiful flat screen display. Now the display has become the computer, held by an elegant stand that also functions as an arm. Notice a trend? Everything revolves around the display."

Not everything. For example, the display itself does not revolve. In the previous generation iMac, the most-oft-touted feature was its elegant display arm, which let the user easily move the display up, down, left, and right. What's available on the new iMac? Up and down. Just like virtually every other display on earth. It's a shame.
