We had some issues getting this up onto RU-vid, but 1 hr later, here we have the ORANGE iMac! I really wish the Orange aluminum on the back extended to the front and the stand. The chin is almost a pastel/nude colour. Other than that, we get the M1 treatment which is great! Which colour will you guys snag?
That's what I've been saying. The body colors are gorgeous and saturated, but the front and base get a more pastel version that kind of looks kind of childish, especially with the white bezels.
Karl: "This is orange." "This is not orange." I could feel your excitement and disappointment at the same time! Another great video, can't wait until you have all of the colors to do the comparison!
We just got a yellow one 😀 Haven’t opened it yet, cause it’s actually for my husband, and while he doesn’t get excited about this stuff like I do, and isn’t going to geek out over all the coool stuff (the cords are color matched?!?!?!!!!) he should still probably be there for it, lol. Feel like a kid on Christmas. This, unlike my iPhone 12 Pro Max, feels like “old school Apple” where everything down to the packaging…origami box, ‘hello’ on the cover paper, color matching cables, stickers, box…it’s the little things, Apple…it really is. We got the maxed out one also (minus the 16 gig ram…that pushed the budget too far…and he isn’t doing complex graphics or gaming…so, hopefully its not the worst thing in the world.) We skipped the trackpad (I hate them, personally, he didn’t care) and upgraded the keyboard for the numerical one because he’s a numbers guy and likes those. The white bezel is pretty to me…I always got the white iPads when I could, and the chin…really…the whole thing looks like a work of art, seriously…it’s stunning. The orange is great, and I like how they used different shades for each color for different parts of it. Haven’t seen the yellow in real life…we’ll see later today!! Thanks so much, Karl! Enjoy your orange iMac, it’s beautiful!!!
Not a glossy finish to the frame on the front. Most reviewers seemed to make this mistake. The glass covers the entire front. Run a finger from top to bottom and you’ll feel one continuous smooth surface.
I have the orange as well. If you look on the page where you "buy" the orange has a two tone emblem. Still cool. I love orange too. Even painted my homebuilt airplane orange. Lambo tangerine to be specific!!
I went into my Apple Store fully convinced that I’d get the green but once I saw the orange I was OBSESSED! Everyone I know is telling me yo get the green but maaaaaan I can’t get the orange out of my mind, gotta make my decision tomorrow :)
I can see karl is a huge Porsche fan. The RS poster on the wall, the Porsche taycan concept, and the 991.1 GT3RS in the background. Im excited for your 992 GT3!
Thank you for your unboxing video. I'm a big fan of the colour orange and would say that the salmon colour is in the orange colour family. I'm kind of glad they chose that specific shade of orange for the front, because I think anything that leans to a true orange would be too distracting for me.
Keep hearing people complain about the number of ports. The mouse, keyboard, trackpad, printer, and headphones are all bluetooth nowadays. How many people want to plug in a second monitor? If you have a NAS on your network, you are going over the combined network cable, and won't be plugging in hard drives all the time. The majority of users don't have devices with SD cards. We airdrop between our Apple devices, and our phones are our main cameras today. For the average user of this iMac, the number of ports is more than enough.
I am getting an orange iMac myself in a couple of weeks. I have one like yours with additional storage and fingerprint ID, so I can't wait. Looks awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Great Video, Karl...I just ordered the Orange one too...with 16 GB RAM and 1TB Storage. I love orange as well and since my computer room decor is orange I had to get the matching Orange I-Mac...I think Apple has a huge hit with this new desktop and is being swamped with orders...I won't get mine delivered until early July...James, Columbus, OH
Orange is my favorite among these colors too. I wish so much I could get the orange iMac….sadly I can only afford the base model, so I’m stuck with either green (which is actually more like teal) or red.
