It's 5mm on the edges. It balloons out on the back. It's dumb.

It has to bow out in the middle where the base connects. They have to have somewhere for all the actual computery bits... right?

RIGHT?

Because gently caress... if it's really that thin, it beats any TV and is STILL a computer.

Why the hell do they care about thickness on a desktop monitor, but they're totally happy with leaving a hideous 4-inch chin on it?

It would look 10x better if the bezel was the same width everywhere, with maybe a tiny apple logo on the bottom.

So if youre an engineer for Apple designing those things, how enjoyable is the job?

Do they take care of their own or is it some high stress "if this has bugs you're fired" sort of thing? Or both? I see this being a lucrative job or a hellhole for everyone but the insane.
