    Will they ever bring back target display mode? I can’t imagine having a 32" screen that can’t be used with anything but the built in computer. I feel like a ton of people have work computers like me who would want to use this as an external display.

      Would be cool if they brought it back. They removed it after they went to 5k and had to build a custom display controller. Kinda figured they’d bring it back eventually. I wonder if it’s a patent issue or if they have telemetry showing most iMac users don’t use target display/multiple monitors.

    I’d love to see one. Lots of people just want a casual device with a big screen. And I love the all in one form factor.

    I think I’m done with all-in-one units, even though I have a 27" on my desk at work. Based on the way Apple is going, a Mini or a Studio with an external monitor is the way to go for better (and cheaper) future upgrade options.

      Honestly with how affordable mini pcs are (even when soeaking about apple devices, as the mac mini is the chepest entry point into OSX brand new) AIOs to me seem like a dying trend.

      Though said with somebias as i do work e-waste and i hate having to handle imacs.
