It would have been nice to see that standard on every model, but I'd wager Apple decided an elegant stand design mattered more than being flexible for a handful of users. There's at least one concession this time around for monitor obsessives: You can also buy the new iMac with a VESA mount, which makes it easy to attach to things like arms and hinges. Hell, Apple could still benefit from following some design ideas from that long-forgotten machine - or maybe I'm just the only one that misses being able to adjust my screen vertically. The iMac hasn't had this much Pixar-esque energy since the days of the lampshade G4. I particularly like the way light bounces off the back of the sturdy base. And despite the playful aesthetic, the iMac still looks and feels like a premium device. It has a bit of a pinkish hue along the 'chin' below the screen, while the rear case looks more distinctly orange. I opted for the orange iMac for our review, but Apple should have probably just called it creamsicle.
