The New Super Thin iMac

I understand thinness in a laptop being important - I take my laptop everywhere, and I appreciate when apple makes my 15" more easily carried about.

But where is the benefit to a thinner desktop? Does it give off less heat? Does the thinness otherwise benefit it somehow? Its 8 lbs lighter - great, but I don't think I've moved my desktop iMac since I've set it up, other then to clean under it.

It looks nicer in your living space. No longer do you hide the computer away in a corner or a separate room - once it is organic, futuristic, and beautiful like the iMac (especially with wireless network/mouse/keyboard) you put it wherever you want without worrying about how it looks.

Every photo on apple's site is a bit deceptive. Here's the real profile: http://images.apple.com/imac/design/images/evolution_today.j...
