It looks like a toy to me.
Just what Apple needs to broaden it's market: another underpowered,
overpriced, un-expandable, closed, proprietary box.
Not.
It positively reeks of Steve Jobs. Prediction: Apple will get a
couple of good quarters out of it, as the Mac faithful (and no one
else) buys them. Once the (tiny) market is saturated, Apple tanks
again. About a year from now, watch for the iMac 2 (or iMac+).
