Comment Re:27" iMac ? (Score 1) 107
I think Apple doesn't understand what it had with the big iMac.
I still have my 2017 one around. When it came out, it was revolutionary. A full 5K display with a reasonable CPU and GPU at a very reasonable price. Built-in webcam and speakers. The only necessary cable was power (if you went bluetooth keyboard and mouse). A wonderfully uncluttered desktop with a mean machine that also looks nice.
Why would I make many steps back from that?
I've done the math last year. I also thought Mac mini + Studio Display (it's not that much more expensive than a good 4K display) would do it, but it turns out that once you upgrade the Mac mini to something actually useable for desktop work, you're not that far from a Studio price-wise.
I really, really, really wish someone took a big fence post and hammered some sense into the idiots at Apple.
I wish that monitor vendors would figure out a good way of mounting small-form computers (like the Mac mini) on the back of monitors...
They have. I've seen such in several different offices.
