THIS APPLE IMAC G4 POWERMAC 4.2 DESKTOP COMPUTER BOASTS A 15-INCH SCREEN SIZE (37,5CM DIAGONAL) AND IS PART OF THE ICONIC ALL-IN-ONE COMPUTER APPLE IMAC SERIES. IT FEATURES A POWERPC G4 800MHZ PROCESSOR AND WAS RELEASED IN 2002.

THE SERIAL NUMBER IS QT212MMXLF4 FOR THIS COMPUTER AND IT COME WITH DUAL SYSTEM 9.2.2 (Last Classic system) and MAC OS X 10.3.9 (PANTHER) LOADED. IT HAS A 800MHZ POWERPC G4 CPU WITH 384MB SDRAM MEMORY AND A 60GB HARDDRIVE. THE TOSHIBA DVD ROM AND CD WRITER DRIVE IS STILL OPENING.

WHEN THE IMAC WAS LAUNCHED IN 2002 STEVE JOBS ANNOUNCED “ THE CRT IS OFFICIALLY DEAD”.
APPLE CALLED IT THE “FLAT PANEL,” WHICH POINTS TO THE FACT THAT THE BULKY CRT DISPLAY WAS GONE IN PLACE OF A SLEEK NEW LCD. THIS “NEW IMAC” WOULD LATER BE KNOWN AS IMAC G4, SIMPLY BECAUSE IT USED A POWERPC G4 PROCESSOR.

REGARDLESS OF THE NAME, THIS IMAC DESIGN GENERATION WAS REALLY KNOWN FOR LOOKING LIKE A CONTEMPORARY TABLE LAMP. THE IMAC G4 WAS DUBBED THE “SUNFLOWER” MAC, OR THE “ILAMP,” A NAME INSPIRED BY THE LUXO JR VIDEO SHORT BY PIXAR. IT DIDN’T LOOK LIKE A COMPUTER. TO THIS DAY, THE IMAC G4 STANDS OUT IN A MUNDANE WORLD OF DESKTOP COMPUTERS—CURRENT MACS INCLUDED.

Basically, the whole computer was stuffed into a dome base, which included a stealthy CD-ROM tray. And from the dome’s peak, a metallic arm extended to hold up a TFT LCD display, which could be adjusted to any position in its range of motion without having the computer tip over. It was also all white — like Apple’s original iPod music player that was introduced in late 2001.

For the first time, every iMac in this era came with FireWire 400 ports, and the 2003 models introduced “high-speed” USB 2.0 ports. By late 2002, the iMac G4 no longer shipped with Mac OS 9, sunsetting the classic Mac operating system in favor of Mac OS X. Jobs held a ceremony for the OS at WWDC 2002, but software made for the system could still work with the Classic environment compatibility software layer.

The iMac G4’s design lasted for over two years, and it was a successful machine. But when it came time to upgrade the Mac to the PowerPC G5 processor, the company need to change the computer’s design to better accommodate the cooling needs of the new processor.

MANY APPLE MANIACS STILL THINK AFTER 20 YEARS THAT THE IMAC G4 IS THE GREATEST MAC EVER MADE.
