I am not happy about this solution.
And I cannot wait for puppies, kittens, rabbits, and parrots to start munching on the low-voltage side of the cord, because you can no longer run over to Walmart and buy a cheap, $5 computer power cord. This thing is likely $100+, color-matched, and because there are 7 of them, will be hard as hell to find short of ordering direct from Apple.
And I suspect Amazon will flow with $30 counterfeits that will either fail to work, or burn your house down.

But the iMac is almost as thin as a piece of cardboard, that’s all the matters right? I mean the thing is a big screen iPad Pro with a stand for all intensive purposes.
