Apple unveiled the new iMac the other day. Its definitely thiner than the older model and with its new glass screen and black matte border, it looks really sexy. My first impression is that Apple hit another home run, packaging a useful tool in a slick package. The price points, for what you get anyway, are pretty good too. The low end is $1,199 for the 20″ model and the high end 24″ model is $2,299.

I’m not sure I’d actually buy one though. I agree with this article that its frustrating to have the monitor tied to the computer itself (though you have the same issue with a laptop, but I think the mobility of the device makes that a little easier to swallow). Also, you can’t hook up multiple monitors to an iMac either. That’s something as a developer that I find to be a huge productivity increaser (I have 4 monitors on my desk at work). If I was to buy a Mac that isn’t a laptop, I’m not sure what’d I’d buy. The mini doesn’t have enough connections (see multiple monitors again) and the Mac Pro is just overkill. I agree with Don, where’s the Mac?
