How well does an iMac work without that power brick? It’s functionally part of the main device.

Well good luck booting that iMac without that whole, you know, power cord thing.

Honestly I think that’s an inspired bit of design. It solves for Apple’s desire to keep clean lines, and, in many offices I’ve been in, the Ethernet is wired in close to the power, so it’s very functional. Win-win.

You say that like it’s a bad thing. The iMac gets an Ethernet port, and there’s one fewer cable to run up to the machine. That seems like a win all around.

I think it’s a very elegant solution. The iMac is a device for companies, reception etc. And they typically run on Ethernet.
