I would totally love that. I always loved to have an iMac G5 one day when they were still on sale. Unfortunately I never was able to as it was out of reach given my budget back then.

iMac G4.

The iMac G5 started the fat monitor on a leg design.

Surprised they’re going for 1:1 and not 16:9. I know a lot of people who use tablets and devices in the kitchen and watch videos while cooking. Granted you can do it on a square but you’re gonna be letterboxed at a smaller resolution

At this point, why not mount an iPad in the kitchen? It will be a far better fit than this smart home display

Cost, and having something dedicated to the space. Maybe also that it controls your smart home stuff so you want it to stay in place and not be taken out of the home. I can see something comparable to an Apple TV with a built in display. Don’t need much power, but something that can run your streaming services, YouTube for cooking videos, and a FaceTime camera for calls would be neat.

I used to be an Apple Certified Technician and had to replace the neck in that G4 and oh my god it was sooooo much work…
