I've looked on Apple's site, I've searched this forum and I've used Google and I can't find the answers to two little questions that I have about the new Intel iMacs. Someone with one of the new iMacs, if you could answer these questions, I would appreciate it.

1 - Where is the built-in microphone located? Is it part of the iSight camera?

2 - Is there an external power supply brick, or just a simple lead?

Thank you!

The inbuilt mic is located about 5mm to the right of the edge of the isight camera. No there is no external power supply brick, it is a simple power lead that connects to the power management unit built into the iMac.

1 - The microphone is to the side of the iSight camera.

2 - http://www.apple.com/imac/design.html
Though it’s hard to believe, iMac’s slim shape contains everything from the power supply (no unsightly power brick to deal with)...

It'll be much easier if you just comply.

My bad, the inbuilt mic is about 5mm to the left of the iSight
