The problem is you end up paying for a crappy monitor. So you are stuck either looking at a Mac Mini, or going all the way up to a Mac Pro. There is no middle ground.

If anything the main problem with the imac is that you're forced to pay for a very good monitor even if that's not what you'd like to spend your money on.

In Windows/Linux world we have been craving for a 5k/27" monitor for years so that we don't have to deal with non-integer scaling.

Most people don’t need a Mac.

I love the iMac 27 monitor. Curious what is not to like? I prefer it over the LG Ultrafine.
