When I received my new 24″ iMac in the Fall of 2007 I was bowled over by its construction that appeared to me to be carved out of one piece of solid aluminum 22.5″ x 18.5″ x 1.5″. The original slab-o-aluminum before computer-controlled-machining must have weighed more than 25 lbs. Even the slim-design keyboard seemed to be machined from a solid slab-o-aluminum. Yet I don’t recall anything being said at that time about this radical new form of constructon. The pile of recyclable aluminum scrap generated by each 24″ iMac’s machining must be awesome. Apparently the experience that Apple gained in creating the aluminum iMacs was refined and improved and then used in designing and building the new aluminum MacBooks as well as the new 24″ cinema displays. I’m very impressed.
