EParis, ngonyaka we-2004. USteve Jobs akakho kwinkampani yenkampani ngenxa yotyando olumgcina esekhefini, ke uxanduva lokubonisa yonke into entsha evela eApple ihleli noPhil Schiller, indoda yasekunene kaSteve Jobs.
I-iMac entsha yeyokuqala enesipaneli esibonisiweyo esibonisa yonke into esesikrinini kwaye ingashiyi nto ngaphandle, yiyo loo nto yayingumbhexeshi we-iMac esiyaziyo namhlanje.a, kwaye kukuba enyanisweni uyilo lufana kakhulu nolwangoku. Kwelinye icala, ifumene iprosesa ye-G5, engakhange ihlale ixesha elide kwintengiso ye-maquero ngenxa yotshintsho kwi-Intel.
Ngokubhekisele kwizixhobo zokusebenza, yayiyikhompyuter elungileyo kodwa akukho nto yokubhala ekhaya ngayo. Ixhomekeke kwiprosesa enkulu yeG5 phantse kuyo yonke into.Kuba inkumbulo ye-400 MHz DDR yayifutshane ngokungagqibekanga kwaye imizobo, nangona yayanele kubomi bemihla ngemihla, yayingeyonto yokubhala ekhaya malunga, isiphelo esisezantsi esivela kwi-nVidia.
Ixabiso lokuqala lale khompyuter laliyi- $ 1299, ukuthoba ibar yenkampani kakhulu kunye nokwandisa isabelo sentengiso. Isenokungabi yeyona iMac ibalaseleyo ka-Apple, kodwa yayingumanduleli waleyo sinayo namhlanje, kwaye oko kwakubalulekile.
Ikhompyuter elungileyo ... egcwele iingxaki. Kwelinye icala, ubushushu obugqithisileyo obuveliswe yinkqubo ye-G5. Kwaye, kwelinye icala, iingxaki zabaqeqeshi babandezeleka linani elikhulu leekhompyuter (phantse bonke abavelisi abakhulu bafake abaqeqeshi abakhohlisayo ngelo xesha) kuloo minyaka.
I-Intel iMacs, nditsho neemodeli zenguqu zakuqala, ziye zaphucuka.
