Today at the apple store
Today (well, technically yesterday) i accompanied friends of mine to an apple retailer to pick up an ibook (wouldn’t wanna have missed that) which ended with an additional impulse-bought ipod mini. I’m convinced now that there’s nothing quite like women picking an ipod mini…
Anyway, they had the new g5 imacs on display, right next to an adorable 20″ apple display, and i finally realized why the new imac doesn’t quite work for me. When i saw it the first time i was underwhelmed at best by its appearance but later reasoned that it’s a damn fine piece of engineering with the whole cpu stacked behind the display. Problem is, it doesn’t look like a computer at all – it rather looks like an ugly, bulging flat panel display. As an all-in-one computer the new imac is really neat, it just looks too much like an ordinary display for its own good.
