I am wondering what is behind the idea of having so many different colors. We used to know imacs or in general notebooks to be mostly black or silver. Aren’t like 90% of people and companies going to purchase just these old colors? Or is this a way to “create identity” as everyone seems to have the same device? Or to make the used and spare parts market more complicated?
- Not a psychologist myself but would be interested to know more.

- crazygringo 5y agoIf you work in engineering or banking, then yes you see all black and silver. But if you work in fashion, a nice doctor's office, retail, or really any environment that is decor-focused, having color options is HUGE. This is just taking "OMG I love the color you painted your kitchen, it's so tasteful yet energetic, what is it?" and applying as well to the computer that sits prominently in your home's shared area.

- wazoox 5y agoThe second generation iMac was also available in many colours. So that's back to the origin, actually. See https://everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac_266.html https://everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac_266.html
