Defining "lying" as "doesn't have cords in promo images" is really really weird. You don't see too many Dell ads with cords flying down to their towers either.
There's a picture of a guy using it (with zero cords) to take a conference call, which goes a bit beyond a flattering studio photo. It allegedly depicts real world use.
Towers tend to hide cords behind them. This is shown on a desk next to a monitor, as if it is being used with the monitor. It is photographed at an angle that would show cords if they were present. It looks ridiculous at least.
The monitor shown may be an All-in-One, but then what is the computer doing there?
You don't see it in iMac marketing photos, either, where the screen is illuminated.
