The New iMac

Apple has a new iMac.

Sigh.

All fanaticism aside, Apple consistently demonstrates how it continues to deserve said fanaticism. Even if I didn’t like the Macintosh, I would sure be wishing I could buy a case that sexy to build my next PC into…

“Case”? What case? There’s practically nothing there. That’s a beautiful machine, right there. Of course, by the time I can actually justify buying another computer, Apple will no doubt have several new models, all of which will make this look like a rude, paleolithic-era computing implement.

Or, alternatively, someone else will. You would think that someone else would start trying to do what Apple is doing — marry a beautiful OS with an equally beautiful casing — but no one is. At least, they aren’t doing it well. Vaio? Yes, Sony, that is indeed a very skinny laptop. Too bad you put Windows on it. Dell? Why, yes, that is a wide selection of colors in which I could now order my plain, ordinary, Dell laptop. Sorry, Other Vendors… nice try, but so far, it’s Not Working Out Too Well.
