Completely agree on that! The same is true for ne MacBooks as
well...whereas old plastic ones looked cheap compared to Pros, new ones
do not...

I am actually contemplating getting a new Mini along with the biggest
(non-apple) display I can afford. I would mount the display to a LCD arm
fixed to the wall or the desk itself, so I can just get it out of the
way when I need the desk space. This is something that would eb a bit
more difficult with the iMac. Do they have the VESA mounting points for
a stand? Even if they did I'd probably need a hefty (expensive) arm to
hold it in place.

Also, am I the only one who finds the new keyboard without the numeric
part incredibly tempting? :)
