Love that scroll.
Least offensive use of scrolljacking so far. It made me smile.
I wouldn't call this scrolljacking by any means - scroll effects, sure, but not scrolljacking. I tend to think of scrolljacking as something like on Huge's site vs this - on this, you see the scrollbar and are constantly moving vs locked into screens that are like slides.
I thought scroll jacking was only when it locked you into certain parts of the website when scrolling. For instance if you start scrolling you don't actually decide how far you're scrolling yourself, it'll just automatically scroll to the next section.
Yeah, essentially. Huge's site does this (and they very clearly made that design decision and wrote about why). More like slides than a website, in a way.
Dell's upcoming 5k display is priced at $2,499. just for the display. http://www.anandtech.com/show/8496/dell-previews-27inch-5k-ultrasharp-monitor-5120x2880
the Retina iMac is an incredible value.
Wow that's crazy. Even though Dell displays are as overpriced as Apple products, compared to this, the iMac seem to be a great value.
I wouldn't call either a great value... With 1440p and 4k displays both being around $500 - $1000 today for decent quality ones. $2.5k for the next step up is clearly an early adopters fee at this point. Give it a year and we'll see similar offerings from other manufactures at similar, if not better, quality. :D
5k looks stunning on paper... But some of the best graphics cards on the market still barely drive 4k displays right now. Anything beyond that is going to be limited strictly to professional editing/creative work - But we knew that going into this haha.
It's going to be mainstream simply because it's in an iMac. Just like high-DPI went mainstream because it was in MacBook Pros.
People may not be able to buy 5k displays to hook up to any old computer. They will just have to buy a new computer with a 5k display instead.
dat scroll
I hate that Apple's new "bigger is better" way, sorry.
Bigger screens are better, though. It's like having a bigger desk, or a bigger office, or a bigger movie theater.
If you play games, yes. My idea is, if you have a big desk and you have so much things to put on it, looks messy and I don't like it.
Or you could keep it clean. :)
I'm also working off of my 11" MBA, so I'd love "too much" space.
I repeat, "this is my opinion". :)
Still more appropriate than new is always better :)
Not everytime. This product is too much for me with price and size. I'm ok with my 15' Macbook. So not "better" for me. Like iPhone Plus. Too big to be a cellphone.
The physical size is not bigger though, nor will you effectively have a bigger desktop because the pixel density will just be increased.
So this really isn't "bigger is better", rather "higher fidelity/quality is better"
Mac Pro for sale. ;-)
I CAN'T STOP SCROLLING YOU GUYS
Why would anyone want this? /s
That's either a sarcasm or a sarcasm.
This is a much more impressive design than the recently launched Android Lollipop site.
I didn't expect the floating action button to just scroll to the next section. That suggest to me the fab will often be used for pedestrian scroll for many implementations. Color me disappointing. Then again., Google does it on their own MD site.
Great use of scrolling
Does anyone know which MacBooks could support the iMac 5K as an external display (using target display mode)?
Guessing no, because the massive volume of image information can't go through thunderbolt 2 cables. We have to wait until next year :/
Damn. I was thinking about GPU… I didn't even consider Thunderbolt bandwidth. It seems like even HDMI 1.4 (which is what the Mac Pro supports) has a maximum resolution of 4K or 4096×2160 :(
”The new Retina iMac does not work as an external display.“
High end desktops have trouble driving current gen 4k displays... You can forget a mobile GPU driving the 5k displays sure to come lol. 4k Is a much better option anyway in my mind. It's the logical jump up in doubling resolution, so it works extremely well with Apple's "retina" technology as well.
As mentioned above, the iMac can't be used as a target display, but it's not an arbitrary decision by Apple. The 5K display requires Thunderbolt 2, and the only computers with it are the Mac Pro and this new iMac.
Haha, this is up but the store isn't yet? Sweet. Thanks for sleuthing!
Check out Squarespace's scrolljack. Pretty awesome(er).
Mental!
Didn't anyone notice yet? The Apple site is finally responsive! What do you think? I mean that's the real revolution, why now?
Sorry for the triple post, it was the news apps fault.

It's not responsive here. Not the store, nor the website.
You must load it on a phone. Or with the developer tools in iphone mode. Browser resizing doesn't work. That would be to obvious ;)

Did NOT see that coming!
A dream come true
Wow, that is beautiful
