“The entire concept is archaic and niche” 👏👏 amazing review

It’s the perfect computer for those desks people used to have in their expensive kitchens where their kids were supposed to do homework

Pretty spot on 👍🏼

One of those things I wish I had a good use for, or a reason to buy, because it’s so pretty

I miss when people had a computer on a hutch in their kitchen

Idk if I’d consider acknowledging the reality of how people use computers these days as strange…

$400 is not well worth the cost for height adjustability. It is a forced cost to receive core functionality that was removed. Note, the Studio Display with adjustable stand (no nano texture) is the same inflation adjusted price as the whole iMac G4 which had a height adjustable monitor built in.

I found out about this yesterday and read it today. If nothing else, it reassures me that I was properly offline last week.

Seriously great review. Some of the best writing I’ve read at the Verge and that’s saying something. I get people are hung up on the score, but the text was #chefskiss

Thank you! The only comments that bugged me were the ones accusing me of writing clickbait. That would have been way easier, lol
