Sigh. The frame of reference has shifted so much that people no longer care that the display is so firmly tied to the rest of the computer.
I've got a 2004 vintage 24" Dell monitor that works quite well, 13 years later.
Not so for my 2006 vintage 20" iMac. The screen is still great, but the computer is flaky, so overall it's a dead product. Same for my 2007 vintage 24" iMac. Still a great screen, but the computer is well past its prime and can't run the latest macOS.
What really upsets me is the hypocrisy that nobody cares about. Apple is always telling us how eco-friendly it is, and yet nobody employed there cares about this?
Of course, it's business leaders' role to be hypocrites. But what about people on the so-called "independent" Board of Directors? Director Al Gore wrote "Earth in the Balance: Ecology and the Human Spirit". And yet he's happy to take Apple's money and stock while helping them greenwash their company image.
I fucking hate the hypocrisy.
- undersuit 9y agoNot that it fixes your issue or dismisses your valid arguments against an AIO, but iMacs since 2009 started supporting being a display for another device: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204592 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204592 DARN... I noticed the fine text that the 5k resolution models no longer support this feature.
- jimbokun 9y agoPlenty of people care, it's just been an issue for so long many don't even bother to mention it anymore.
- mcphage 9y agoI’ve got a 9 year old 27” iMac that gets used constantly as an external monitor.
