- SvMidtown, on 10/10/2007, -4/+55My real question is will they offer it with a non-glossy screen.
I know everything tends to look nicer on those glossy screens, but the reflection is just too much. My friend and I have a MacBook Pro and his is glossy while mine isn't and the difference is astounding. His looks "prettier" while mine has next to no glare.
I personally prefer the non-glossy screen, would be kinda nice for them to give you a choice. - drlha, on 10/10/2007, -2/+44Guess what also:
The new Macs are all ENERGY STAR COMPLIANT.
Sorry, just had to get that out after that stupid non-story last week on Digg. - smurf22, on 10/10/2007, -3/+42The black outline looks a little weird....
- notorious., on 10/10/2007, -3/+38Ryan Block says the new keyboard is "super sexy," and then the stock plummets.
- RadiantBeing, on 10/10/2007, -4/+37I can't believe it still has the chin. It's essentially just the old iMac with a new case.
- arbulus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+28Glare is my big thing with glossy screens. Sure the colors are sharper, but if you can't see the damned thing because of glare, then what good is it?
- kcb2, on 10/10/2007, -2/+22There's quite a bit of black around the edge of the screen...
- Braddeharder, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17I am not a big fan of the glare off the display. No glare is why I have LCDs. That display would put a hurting on my eyes after about 5 min.
- leowatson, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17Glossy screen = reflection central.
- mesmeriffic, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16nice Capitalization, It really Conveyed the importance Of Prepositions.
- KnightWhoSaysNi, on 10/10/2007, -8/+23Chiclet keys?!?!?! I used to have those in my Radio Shack color computer. It was impossible to touch type with that keyboard.
- skim1420, on 10/10/2007, -4/+17I don't see what the major update here is. They use different material, but basic same form factor. New keyboard, some may be partial for it, some against. The black rim around the screen actually goes against the grain of Apple's traditional clean look they've been so good at.
I'm falling out of enamor with Apple. Give me something new it DOES. Apple, what have you done for me lately? - conspireagainst, on 10/10/2007, -12/+23It's not that great-looking, and honestly, a glossy screen? I could make out the faces of all of the onlookers in the photos. Matte screens are much, much better. If they don't offer that option, they're really shooting themselves in the foot. Most professionals prefer it (then again, most professionals won't buy a crummy iMac).
- notorious., on 10/10/2007, -1/+12That's what I'm afraid of. I'll have to try it out, I suppose.
- jiggidy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12sooo much glare.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -22/+33let's masturbate
- grubworth, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12All I see is a fancy iMirror.
- NerdyNinja, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Did you even look at the article? The first and largest picture shows a keyboard with number keys. You're thinking of the slimmer bluetooth keyboard that's also available.
- qwerter, on 10/10/2007, -5/+15Whew... it's a good thing it's ugly and has a glossy screen, because otherwise I might have gone into debt to buy one. Thanks for helping me watch my budget, Apple!
- TomFrost, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12That keyboard's not much different from a laptop, and I find the keyboards on the macbook pros to be very comfortable. You don't need near as much force or movement as a standard board.
- miniboss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Is anyone going to point out that a company known for style just made a mismatch with the new keyboard and new iMac?
The iMac looks similar to the sleek iPhone style with the black highlights while the keyboard looks like its from another company with the white keys. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9"...we really, REALLY wish Apple would get rid of the Jay Leno chin on the iMac already..."
Yeah, They could have gotten rid of that giant Apple logo and and put a small transparent one in the bottom right of that black mask area. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10The Glossy screen does not.
- mediaphile, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8You mean, "Let's iMasturbate"
- MammasMilk, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Hey now, Black is the New Black, last year it was the Old Black, but three years before that it was the New Black, and a couple years before that I think is was just "black".
Ahhh the good old days, when black was black, red was red, yellow was yellow, and Lavender was the girl I'd play doctor with.
all that aside, I think the black is fine. - fpcyber, on 10/10/2007, -19/+27Whatever happened to "don't judge a book by its cover"? I bet typing on that keyboard all day will be somewhat stressful on the hands and wrists.
- Urusai, on 10/10/2007, -6/+1310 ? "THESE KEYBOARDS SUCK"
20 END - CrazyRussian, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7At least people sitting next to you in airplanes won't be able to see what your doing.
Oh wait. Its a desktop - TheKorn2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Because not *every* mac user computes in a nuclear silo.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9You have to be goddamned stupid to put a glossy surface on an LCD at this point. Way to go BACKWARD, Apple. Actually, it's not even backward: Glossy screens NEVER dominated, because their stupidity is evident without even seeing them.
Chiclet keyboard? Of what value is a super-thin keyboard, when it's sitting on your desk? What problem is this solving? It saves no desk space; the overall footprint of the thing could be exactly the same with full-travel, high-quality keys.
Meanwhile, there's still no ultra-portable from Apple, a major gap in their product line from which Sony and Toshiba will profit nicely. - cbreaker, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6So in other words, you don't like the new design, you like the previous iMac model design.
- geminitojanus, on 10/10/2007, -6/+12Don't judge a book by it's cover, then go and judge a book (keyboard in this case) by it's cover. Way to go poster, following your own morality.
- macattacks10, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I hope you're not touching your screen.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6But more importantly, IT FINALLY SAYS "COMMAND" ON IT!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9Man, you're pretty dumb when you can't spell "WTF".
- CompIsMyRx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6$80 for a wireless keyboard? $50 for the wired one? ***** you, Apple!
- Squidly, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7They were too busy designing the iPhone to devote much thought to this redesign. Should've just made the thing slimmer, and left it white plastic until they were ready to do a REAL redesign.
I bet Jobs was feeling some eco-pressure, which is why they forced a move to Aluminum/Glass. - lp1977, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Command key has no apple now. Rumour confirmed.
- geminitojanus, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10It's got speakers built in, if you're smart you have WiFi or know how to run an ethernet cable through the nice little clip that the iMac's stand has integrated (same for the speaker cable really) and well, that leaves the keyboard and power, which they *do* show you.
What was your point again? - sinembarg0, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7If the only thing you're going to do in the Apple section is bash Apples, the why the ***** are you here? You could link to a study saying the keyboards are bad ergonomically to back up your claims, but no, you just bash away with no proof. If you don't like Apples, then stay away from the Apple section.
- gotamd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Yeah, it's too bad that the 1970's weren't exactly known for having the greatest design aesthetics.
- doctapeppa, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Then get whatever keyboard you want and use that instead.
- blugoogirl, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6That's quite retro
- turbovince, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Uh, Macbook Pro's keyboard is as ok as any other laptop keyboard.
- Tippis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Because it's nice -- while not ergonomically optimal -- to sit close to a window.
- DanH, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6i love the macbook keyboard and this is exactly like it. I will buy one.
- DoMifer, on 10/10/2007, -5/+9At the risk of being unpopular... I sort of like the look of the screen... O_o
*cowers from angry diggers that disagree*
(Although, the glare gets a big thumbs down.) - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4The '80s. The apostrophe goes BEFORE the numerals, to take the place of the missing digits.
- Tippis, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Well, the actual components have to go *somewhere* after all...
So it's either a perfect-for-you-post'its chin or a thinker computer. - aldenhg, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I just don't like glossy screens. I don't care about the color saturation and sharpness if I can see my own reflection and everything behind me. When you're dropping that much cash on a computer you really should be given the option.
