The iMac form factor has its own advantages which offset the extra power of the low-end Mac Pro.
- redrobot5050 18y agoReally? Like what? Like forcing you to throw out the 24 inch LCD when the computer is obsolete? Like a lack of upgradable anything (besides RAM)? The iMac might have a unique form factor, but it doesn't necessarily convey any advantages other than aesthetics.
- randallsquared 18y agoFirst, aesthetics are not negligible. The iMac has at least two fewer cables, is more easily shifted around, doesn't require finding space on the floor for a tower, takes up very little desk space, and is very quickly packed up for overnight or weekend trips. For people who need to take their computers with them a few times a year, but don't want to make the sacrifices or pay the higher costs for a laptop, it's useful. Just speaking for my own category.
