I hope they get rid of those huge bezels on the iMac

[Prophet]

Let me guess, iMac with keyboard that now comes with a touch bar?

[adzyfee]

Yeah sure... that's what he said about the MacBook Pro

[attachedsilver]

Wonder what features they'll remove from the macs & call it "courage". One thing for sure they'll be adding is a higher price tag.

[WoldsEndPhotography]

I hope their roadmap also includes a new "great CEO"

[emaron]

if they just have USB-c on the iMac I'll be pissed. I'm not buying more dongles.

[SSS-mpth]

Even design professionals are turning to PCs due to cost for performance even if you don't PC game. It's very easy to build an extremely powerful PC for much less than a Mac. My Premiere and Photoshop seem to work just fine on my PC as they did on Mac. Now I can also play 4k games.

I love Apple products, but it's time for Tim to put his money where his mouth is. That, or step down and let someone else lead.

Apple: Introducing the new iMac... It's comes with only one display port...and trust us you only need one. You can purchase a separate dongle for $99 which include USB 3.0, Thunderbolt port, a headphone jack. We are also selling a card reader for $49 and a lot more for an affordable price starting at $49.99. Also it doesn't come with an ethernet port, but you can purchase it for a very affordable price of $99.99. We are the leaders when it comes to killing useful features.

This coming from a man who killed the iPod classic without releasing a comparable portable audio device. And then what happened?...I stopped using iTunes.

[DavorNL]

Just like all the things we wanted on the iphone 7 but didnt know about it yet

[PityMe]

With their MacBook Pro flop, yeah, right... I'll probably be switching to Windows after they totally ruined the laptop line.

[higgidy]

imac without a keyboard and all usb c ports and no more sd card reader. and then charge twice as much for it.

[Xenophene]

Let me guess... the price will triple and Un upgradable

[DieterRust]

Will I be able to play Crysis on it though?

[shockdude]

We don't want $300 coffee table books! we want to see progress and innovation in Apple computers!

[iPhoneKingx]

Honestly Apple needs to go back to the design board and recreate the g3 imac's for the new generation. You know those cool colorful all-in-one desktops but updated with the ability to upgrade every component. Again im not saying to bring back the g3 but to just take a look back and see where their magic came from....But Tim Cook isn't a visionary

[dbsirius]

Great desktops are coming...from Microsoft

[csaREEM]

The trouble is Tim thinks the new Macbook Pro is a great laptop.

[sagara]

he must have said pcs that were great 2 years ago are comming to you with a apple logo with the price tag that wold have been okay if it was developed 4 years ago at the present.
