You will not like the answer if you have to ask, but here goes: It's beautiful.

  > It's beautiful. ...yet it somehow still has that huge pointless "chin" at the bottom. I don't think that's beautiful. I guess it's "iconic", like the ugly notch on the newer iPhones. I'd rather have the thing a bit thicker instead, because 99% of the time I'm not looking at it from the side.

    In the video, they show an exploded view. The "chin" is where all the SoC, cooling, and speakers are. The screen is just the screen

  And light and easy to move around if necessary. Once needed to bring my old 27-inch Intel iMac to collaborate in-person on a project. It weighed 30.5 pounds, which isn't super heavy but it was a hassle to transport. The 24-inch M1 iMac weighs a little under 10 pounds. You could bring one of these into a conference room at work with no problem.

    And why wouldn't an M1 laptop fill this use case?

      Of course it could; but there are other trade-offs such as screen size, etc.

  Since it is a desktop computer it makes total sense to move Ethernet to the power brick. That way, you can have a single cable up from under your desk to the computer. I'm collecting all my cables in a rack under the desk anyway, and the less cables I have to route over the desk the better. Wish there was a USB hub on the brick as well!
