Apple announced the new M1 iMacs yesterday. Aside from being a real engineering feat (it's thinner than a standard headphone jack), the iMacs are throwing it back to the 90s when they came in all those fun colors.
Personally, I think they're...kind of ugly. And aside from the silver that we all know and love, I wonder what some of these would look like in an office setting.
What do you think? Would you provision an iMac in one of the new colors if someone requested one? Let me know in this SaaSOps Community thread. |
