All-new iMac features the M1 chip

There are two different chassis (thus models), one for the stand, one for VESA. Like...wow.

This has been the case with iMac models for a couple of years now. It's ridiculous. If you want to upgrade to a more ergonomic setup you need to buy a new computer...

(Also, 2m power cable is a bit short for an articulating monitor arm...)

Didn't know that. Ridiculous indeed. I mean, it's one thing with the curved back ones (I kind of get that it would be a bit awkward), but these new ones are similar in shape to their $5000 standalone monitor, which supports both their stand and VESA mounts, I believe.

The $5000 standalone monitor does not have a VESA mount, you have to buy an adaptor.

It's ridiculous, because a VESA mount is literally just 4 holes with M4 thread.

With Apple, everything is secondary to profit.

Wow, really. I'm quite surprised that they couldn't make one model where you just remove the stand like on every other monitor in existence.
