"Do you find that having an all-in-one computer is actually kinda bad? "
I assume you're asking more generally about the iMacs than in regard to your laptop. iMacs have had built in monitors ever since they were released in 1998. It was never a problem before, since the monitors therein weren't worth terribly much as an equivalent. However, now there are only 20 and 24 inch iMacs. A standalone equivalent monitor is now worth $400 (20in) to $900 (24in), which effectively means you're throwing that much away if you upgrade the computer, which sucks a bit.
When they were 15 inch CRT/ 15 inch LCD/17 inch LCD, it wasn't such an issue. Now? Yeah, it's a bit of a pain.
Kind of, yes, since I (think) you can use a laptop with a monitor plugged in to it? And I tend to think more of PCs as a thing you constantly upgrade (but that's probably just because I haven't owned a laptop before/am crazy).
1998! Macs were around before then, though, weren't they? I think my cousins may have had one.
Hmm I see. I suppose at least they start out with fairly big screens - I didn't realise they were so large.

I am amazed at your restraint. What on earth possessed you to take photos of the box when you could be ripping it open instead?
