> Why? Because you then also have a laptop for the same price and as a bonus you can upgrade the monitore and computer separately. It's so obvious I don't understand what you are missing there. Why do you think the market for desktop literaly cratered outside of the gaming segment? I don't understand your rambling about mechanical keyboards and Ubuntu. You can simply buy a Macbook Pro (or god forbid a Mac mini) and an Apple screen for a cost which is roughly equivalent to this iMac and a net gain of functionality. Average consumers stopped buying desktop two decades ago by the way. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I think you’re the one missing the “obvious” part as you call it. The other person even spelled it out. The market for these doesn’t care about any of the stuff you mentioned. It’s really that simple. They don’t care about the portability because they have their phone or tablet. They don’t care about upgrading because they’ll keep their device for a decade+, or they don’t own it themselves. They don’t want to buy a separate computer and display because they don’t want that hassle. The desktop market has cratered, sure, but that’s largely because the less complex devices have won out. This is one such device. Try stepping outside of your own shoes before you start telling other people they’re missing obvious things. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
