At launch, Apple's new iMac was incompatible with VESA's well-known and much-loved wall mounting systems. Fret no longer, space savers, because now you can buy the new iMacs with a built-in VESA wall adapter from the Apple store. Read More >>
This is a problem. It's not the biggest problem in the world, but it's a just such a dumb, thoughtless, annoying design flaw that it bears mentioning. Apple's doing headphone jacks wrong. Actually, no, everyone's doing them wrong. Read More >>
Gadgets get thinner. Apple's gadgets more than most. That's just the natural order of things. But while thin and light are two of the chief virtues of mobile, and prettier is always better, the new deskbound iMac has to prove it's more than just a diet plan. Read More >>

Just after the iMac went on sale Friday, a haphazard Japanese teardown turned up scant details about the new iMac's innards. Now iFixit has gotten in there for a much more in depth teardown and have found lots more. As you might have expected, the 21.5-Inch iMac's svelte new frame comes at a cost, and that cost involves a whole bunch of glue. Read More >>

Apple's new iMac is taking its time to arrive in stores. But if you're bored of waiting, you can already get a dodgy Chinese fake of the sleek new computer—before anyone has managed to get their hands on the official product. Read More >>
It looks like the thinness of Apple's latest iteration of their highly desirable all-in-one isn't the only potential problem for consumers, as, well, there are currently none to buy, nor is the company taking any pre-orders for the svelte machines. Not just that -- Apple has also pulled the previous generation from the store too. Erk. Read More >>
Those anorexic new, super-thin iMacs are gorgeous for sure, but there's a serious downside to that diminutive depth -- the 21.5-inch iMac no longer has RAM you can replace yourself, so you're stuck with Apple's horrendously expensive prices, just like the MacBook Air and new retina MacBook Pro models. Ouch. Read More >>

One of the happy surprises from Apple's event today was the new iMac. Now that the dust has settled people are putting their grubby blogger-paws all over that shiny, pristine monolith. Guess what, it's like, suuuuper thin! Read More >>

To create the new iMac, Apple's thinnest desktop yet, the designers used friction-stir welding to going the aluminium body. Unlike arc welding, the more standard way to fuse metal plates, a friction stir just needs a good rubbing — and a few thousand kilos of pressure — to stick together. Read More >>
While introducing the new ridiculously thin iMac, Apple also revealed its new Fusion Drive. What is it? It's a new storage system that supposedly combines the best of SSD and HDD. Basically, the speed of a SSD with the storage space of a big spinning HDD. Read More >>

Tim Greenhalgh of FITCH writes... "Design is everywhere, and there is almost nothing that you use or see everyday that has, in fact, not been designed in some way...but is it great? For me, great design makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand to attention – it’s transformational and makes you view the regular world around you in a totally new way. It's remarkable because after seeing it, you want to tell someone/everyone about it: ”have you seen…!” Read More >>

A new version of Apple's cute little Mac box is also on the cards for its imminent hardware refresh, meaning pretty much every Mac laptop and desktop, as well that iPad mini, ought to be seeing a new release of some sort at the end of the month. Read More >>

"Apple don't really run Mac and IOS events together, defiantly not with a product renouncement. Its either a mac refresh or a iPad smaller event." More »
We've been hearing rumours about an iMac refresh for quite a while, but now a supposed leak of some redesigned internal iMac parts matches up well with a recent stock update from a UK high street retailer. Could an iMac refresh hit this month? Read More >>
If you're looking for an easy way to raise your iMac screen closer to eye level, HiRise will do that. If you want a quick way to eliminate any trace that you use an external hard drive, or leave your keys and wallet on your desk HiRise will also do that. And because it's machined from aluminium, it will do so in elegant fashion. Read More >>
