Amaya Toman I-Apple yethula i-iMac G4 yayo ngo-2002. Bekungumlandeli wawo wonke umuntu we-iMac G3 ephumelele kakhulu ngomklamo omusha ngokuphelele. I-iMac G4 ifakwe i-monitor ye-LCD, ebekwe "emlenzeni" onyakazayo, ephuma kusisekelo esimise okwedome, esifakwe idrayivu yokubona futhi equkethe iprosesa ye-PowerPC G4. Ngokungafani ne-iMac G3, i-Apple ibeke kokubili i-hard drive kanye ne-motherboard ngaphansi kwekhompyutha esikhundleni sokuqapha kwayo.
I-iMac G4 iphinde yehluke kweyandulelayo ngoba yayithengiswa kuphela emhlophe futhi ngomklamo opaque. Kanye nekhompyutha, i-Apple iphinde yahlinzeka ngekhibhodi ye-Apple Pro ne-Apple Pro Mouse, futhi abasebenzisi babenenketho yoku-oda nezipikha ze-Apple Pro. I-iMac G4 ikhishwe ngesikhathi lapho i-Apple ishintsha isuka ku-Mac OS 9 iye ku-Mac OS X, ukuze ikhompuyutha ikwazi ukusebenzisa zombili izinguqulo zesistimu yokusebenza. Kodwa-ke, inguqulo ye-iMac G4 ene-GeForce4 MX GPU ayikwazanga ukubhekana nesistimu yokusebenza ye-Mac OS X ngemidwebo futhi ibe nezinkinga ezincane, njengokungabi bikho kwemiphumela ethile lapho kwethulwa Ideshibhodi.
I-iMac G4 ekuqaleni yaziwa ngokuthi "I-iMac Entsha", kanti i-iMac G3 yangaphambilini isathengiswa izinyanga ezimbalwa ngemuva kokwethulwa kwe-iMac entsha. Nge-iMac G4, i-Apple yasuka ezibukweni ze-CRT yaya kubuchwepheshe be-LCD, futhi ngalokhu kuthutha kwafika inani eliphakeme kakhulu. Kungekudala ngemuva kokwethulwa, i-iMac entsha yasheshe yathola igama lesidlaliso elithi "iLamp" ngenxa yokubukeka kwayo. Phakathi kokunye, i-Apple iyinyusele endaweni yokukhangisa lapho i-iMac entsha, evezwa efasiteleni lesitolo, ikopisha ukunyakaza komuntu odlulayo.
Zonke izingxenye zangaphakathi bezifakwe ngaphakathi kwekesi lekhompiyutha eliyindilinga elingu-10,6-intshi, isibonisi se-TFT Active Matrix LCD esingamayintshi ayishumi nanhlanu sifakwe endaweni yensimbi engagqwali e-chrome. Ikhompyutha ibifakwe nezipikha zangaphakathi. I-iMac G4 kusukela ngo-2002 ikhona ngezinhlobo ezintathu - imodeli esezingeni eliphansi yayibiza cishe imiqhele engama-29300 ngaleso sikhathi, yayifakwe iphrosesa engu-700MHz G4 PowerPC, ino-128MB we-RAM, i-HDD engu-40GB kanye nedrayivu ye-CD-RW. Inguqulo yesibili kwakuyi-iMac G4 ene-RAM engu-256MB, i-CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo Drive kanye nenani lokuguqulwa lemiqhele engaba ngu-33880. Inguqulo esezingeni eliphezulu ye-iMac G4 ibize imiqhele engu-40670 ekuguquleni, ifakwe iprosesa engu-800MHz G4, 256MB RAM, 60GB HDD kanye ne-CD-RW/DVD-R Super Drive drive. Zombili izinhlobo ezibiza kakhulu zifike nezipikha zangaphandle ezishiwo ngenhla.
Igalari yezithombe
Ukubuyekezwa kwangaleso sikhathi kwancoma i-iMac G4 hhayi nje ngokuklama kwayo, kodwa nangezisetshenziswa zayo zesoftware. Kanye nale khompuyutha, uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-iPhoto oludumile lwaqala ukuvela ngo-2002, olwathathelwa indawo yizithombe zamanje. I-iMac G4 iphinde yeza ne-AppleWorks 6 office suite, isofthiwe yekhompuyutha yesayensi i-PCalc 2, i-World Book Encyclopedia, kanye nomdlalo ogcwele isenzo we-3D i-Otto Mattic.
Naphezu kwentengo ephakeme uma kuqhathaniswa, i-iMac G4 ithengise kahle kakhulu futhi ayizange ilahlekelwe ukuthandwa kwayo kwaze kwaba yilapho ithathelwa indawo ngemva kweminyaka emibili iMac G5. Ngaleso sikhathi, yathola ukuthuthukiswa okubalulekile okuningana mayelana nomthamo kanye nesivinini. Kuphinde kwaba khona okuhlukile okusha kwama-diagonal wokubonisa - okokuqala okuhlukile kwamayintshi ayishumi nesikhombisa, futhi kamuva okuhlukile okungamayintshi angamashumi amabili.
