The New iMac is Hot, But Not Thinner.
The new iMac is looking very tempting.
According to the official specs however, it isn’t thinner. Take a look at the old dimensions compared with the new.
Just saying… everyone is going on about how thin they’re supposed to be. Even Steve Jobs said:
“[The new iMac is] Really thin. You’ll get your hands on it in a minute, but they’re appreciably thinner.”
What gives?

This is obviously the depth calculated from the front most part of the screen to the end of the foot.
The “thin” factor Steve is pointing out is the screen itself, not the depth of the entire device.
Good point Bert, I guess that’s what they mean by “thinner”.
I’m still not sure whether pushing everything into a bulge at the back constitutes being thinner. It reminds me of the Toshiba laptops that have a very thin front edge so they look slim – and then push the fat parts to the rear.
Still, it’s a step forward for the iMac in any case.
How about that new keyboard though? Don’t try to tell me that the old keyboard is the same height as the new one.
Now those are thin!
What are the actual dimensions of the new 2008 IMAC—length, width, depth.
Thank you.
