Touch screen iMac for 579 euro - from Dell

Post by condra » Thu Feb 04, 2010 2:36 pm

Hi.

I get Dells mailshots but I rarely read them. Had a look today and found this pretty interesting.

Does anyone have one of these or any interest in one? I'm really curious.

That's the first thing I thought, though I'm sure one could fashion a cradle for it to lay it at a better angle. What were dell thinking with that image of the dudes out-stretched arms?!

When times are tough one of the first things that gets cut is the design budget and staff and poorly designed imagery like this is the result.

Naa! They cut costs on the model, so they could only afford to get a real ugly sucker to pose infront of the screen and then they had to design it so you cant see his face.
