I understand thinness in a laptop being important - I take my laptop everywhere, and I appreciate when apple makes my 15" more easily carried about.<p>But where is the benefit to a thinner desktop? Does it give off less heat? Does the thinness otherwise benefit it somehow? Its 8 lbs lighter - great, but I don't think I've moved my desktop iMac since I've set it up, other then to clean under it.
Every photo on apple's site is a bit deceptive. Here's the real profile: <a href="http://images.apple.com/imac/design/images/evolution_today.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://images.apple.com/imac/design/images/evolution_today.j...</a>
