While it is often attractive to separate display and computer for those that have very specific needs for either or both, Apple has had a way of making the integration very attractive to their customers. Some of this is a bit artificial: they can make the value proposition seem stronger - within their walled garden - through some across the line pricing strategies. What happens if you add $500-1000 of innards to a 27” studio display and don’t necessarily mark up the combination as much as one would for each item individually?

I think that’s where the best iterations of the iMac live, as a sort of bundle deal, where integration is presented as the value add (for those who want it)

Heavily optioned late model Intel iMacs got away from this, but they could get back to it with the right balance of features and price.
