Читать книгу iMac For Dummies - Mark L. Chambers - Страница 17

You and I — normal human beings — would say that the iMac is supported by a sturdy aluminum stand, but Apple calls it a foot. The foot lets you tilt the iMac panel up and down for the best viewing angle. Most important, though, the foot minimizes the computer’s desk space requirements (or its footprint). (Engineers … sheesh.) And yes, that foot is perfectly balanced and quite stable, so there’s no danger of your treasured aluminum supercomputer taking a dive.

If you decide to get really snazzy and mount your older iMac Pro to the wall, you can remove the foot and install the VESA mounting adapter (available separately for about $80). You can use any VESA standard mounting bracket on your wall, too. You can be positioned within 30 feet or so of your wall-mounted iMac Pro with a wireless Apple keyboard and mouse (or trackpad). Of the previous iMac generation, only the iMac Pro can use a VESA mount — however, the new 24″ M1 iMac can be ordered from Apple with a built-in VESA adapter instead of a foot.

Hey, Hewlett-Packard or Dell, can you mount one of those monolithic desktop PCs to the wall? I think not.
