iMac Intel 27" Teardown
A nice deconstruction as always.
Hahaha step 23 had me in stitches... the Apple logo now serves as a secret antenna for wifi.
How sly of Apple.
Just a thought... My Unibody Macbook Pro has a fairly enclosed design where is the wifi antenna inside?
I think its a shame that Apple have neglected the stunning internal design of the early iMac G5s!... they were a work of art inside.
But now... theres all this cable and clutter... I wouldnt mind if they made the imac less tapered on the back (it'd still be the thinnest and most stunning all-in-one) if they would make better cooling and repairing easier with the internals better laid out.
IMHO.
Still love the new iMac tho!
