IMac

iMac is a range of all-in-one Macintosh desktop computers designed and built by Apple Inc.. It has been the primary part of Apple's consumer desktop offerings since its debut in August 1998, and has evolved through seven distinct forms.

History[edit | edit source]

The iMac series can be divided into six basic groups -- the colorful iMac G3, the white half sphere iMac G4, the flat white iMac G5, the white Intel iMacs, the aluminum iMacs, and the current Tapered Edge Aluminum iMacs. The latest iMac models were released in March 2019.

Design[edit | edit source]

The iMac's processor selection saw a significant increase. While the previous model had used the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, the newer models introduced the more powerful Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5 and Intel Core i7 processors.

Software[edit | edit source]

iMacs come with Apple's proprietary operating system, macOS. The original iMacs used the classic Mac OS, which was replaced with the macOS (originally named Mac OS X) in 2001.

Reception[edit | edit source]

The iMac has received considerable critical acclaim, including praise from technology columnist Walt Mossberg as the "Gold Standard of desktop computing"; Forbes Magazine described the original candy-colored line of iMac computers as being an "industry-altering success".
