I’m still not seeing the difference. I like my iMac because it is a lot easier to transport than a desktop, monitor, and cords. I can also use my old iMacs as servers with the screen in sleep mode, as you suggest with laptops.

Regarding monitors, I used to use self-assembled PCs all the time, and while there was a time where I would use the same monitor across different PCs, I just didn’t do that anymore by the time I bought my first iMac. Because monitor sizes and resolutions get better over the years, I’d typically give my entire computer to someone else and just buy a new monitor to go with my new PC. Maybe others don’t mind looking at an old monitor. To each their own, I guess.
