eOrb?
Cirtclar iMac like dome but in a full Sphere, with a rounded flip out door like the iMac's and a flat clear. It'd make it a very wow product without even feeling like a computer, put a G3 in it, since OK maybe you want iMovie but you shouldn't be doing heavy work with it, if anyone needs more than a 1Ghz G3 for video then they SHOULD be getting a better Mac.
Have the base with USB2, it'd obviously not come out today hence the iMacs would be upgraded as would the eMacs.
And one firewire port, if anyone needs more they can get a hub. But as we say this is a consumer machine, hence they are probably only gona have one Firewire device.
give it a VGA port again on the bottom, and you're good to go. the inside of course wouldn't be to sphereical it'd just be designed to look cool. And something that DIFFERENT wouldn't neccicarly make your monitor look like crap in the same regard.
Could even add a throbing blue light
kidding. But seriously if Apple did make this it'd be a great consumer device, but I suspect a lot of Mac users would buy it for other reasons. Home server, computer for the kid ect, a lot of Mac users would just WANT one, look at the cube owners, everyone WANTS it it was just badly priced. A lot of people might buy it just becuase they can. I know one guy that wants a Mac as soon as he can. And if he could drop 500 or 600 on one he probably would be able to justify it.
The orignal iMac was quite cheap in it's day, and it wasn't designed to be TERRIBLY powerful, hence will this be out dated soon? Yes but who care syou only paid 500 for it it'll still be good.
Heck you might even see some linux users buy em.
