"MacFormat magazine (http://www.macformat.co.uk/) commissioned me to conceptualise a future iMac to accompany a related article. I based the design on current Apple design trends, as well as the previous iMac incarnation (which is my favourite). The iMac features a 30" utra-thin LCD screen, which is totally transparent when the iMac is not in use. The screen can also be set to various levels of translucency, and can fade during sleep modes etc. The keyboard is also totally tramsparent, low profile and a curved ergonomic design, with light sensitive illuminated keys. Everything is of course, wireless. smile.gif Cheers, © Adam Benton / MacFormat"

I'm thinking you have to be rich to buy that thing...it looks really nice and too good to be true at the same time.

nothing new there then, Microsoft/Sony etc. have already shown off concept hardware like this like 3 years ago but it's to expensive to manufacture

It looks cool, but the mouse looks kind of unconfortable, and if the monitor breaks it doesnt look easy to replace because it's stuck to the comp. It also looks hard to upgrade parts like a HD, video card, etc.

plus, i think you need to be really rich to buy one.

2 points i would like to bring to your attn.

IMACs are designed to NEVER be upgraded except by ultra geeks,
secondly if something breaks within an iMAC it's cheaper to just buy a new mac,

and thirdly the advertising slogan of apple
"Thrice The price of a PC 1 quarter the power of a laptop baby, but you won't get a virus because no one is stupid enough to design one that will work on the 5 machines we have sold in the past 20years boo yea"

well thats close enough
