Apple's first personal computer launched in 1984 for $ 2,495 and sold over 70,000 units in the
first five months after its launch. The computer came with a keyboard
and mouse, had a 23cm monitor, built into a beige case that had a
handle to make it easier to transport. An identical model to the
previous one was the 512K model launched in the same year. It had quadrupled built-in memory,
which is why it was nicknamed "Fat Mac". The third computer in the Macintosh
line was the Macintosh Plus, launched in 1986 for $ 2599. This model came with some innovations and
improvements that made it the best Mac of its time. It was the first Macintosh to have a SCSI
port for users to connect external devices. It also came with an
expandable 1MB of RAM and a double-sided 800KB floppy drive. At launch, the Macintosh Plus
had that beige color, but in 1987 the case color was changed
to warm gray "Platinum" color. Apple's next personal computer
model was launched in 1987 and was a major improvement
over the Macintosh Plus design. This is the Macintosh SE, which was the first compact Macintosh to have an
internal hard drive for a 20MB or 40MB hard drive. It was also the first compact
Macintosh to have an expansion slot and the first to support the Apple Desktop Bus
for keyboard and mouse connections. The Macintosh SE / 30 was launched in 1989 and was the fastest black-and-white
compact Macintosh series. Officially, the Macintosh SE/30
only supports 32MB, but could be expanded to 128 MB of RAM. It was also the first compact Macintosh to have a 1.44 MB high density
floppy disk drive as standard. Due to these technical specifications, this model was used to produce the first color
tabloid newspaper in the UK, called "This Week". In 1990, Apple launched
the Macintosh Classic. Apple's plan was to release this
model at a price of about $ 1,000, so this is the main attraction, because the computer had features and
specifications similar to those of previous models. However, Apple later changed its
price, eventually selling for $ 2,495. The Macintosh Classic was
25% faster than the Plus and was equipped with a 3.5-inch
Apple Super Drive floppy drive. The Macintosh Performa is a series of
personal computers produced by Apple from 1992 to 1997. This initial series
included the Performa 200, Performa 400 and
Performance 600 models. The Performa 200 was the cheapest variant,
being sold at a price of 1250 dollars. This was an all-in-one model with a
black and white display and 9-inch screen. The Performa 400 was the
middle version of this series, being the best-selling
Macintosh computer in 1992, at a price of 1699 USD. The top variant, the Performa 600,
sold for almost $ 3,000 and had a processor twice as
powerful as the other Performa models. It was also the first Mac
to have a built-in CD-ROM. The Power Macintosh 5200 LC
was launched in 1995 and was based on a
75MHz PowerPC 603 processor, and the following models
used a PowerPC 603e CPU. The 5200 and 5300 were
discontinued in early 1996, with Apple later releasing
the Power Macintosh 5260 and Power Macintosh 5400. The Power Macintosh 5400 was the first
all-in-one computer to support PCI expansion, replacing the Processor Direct Slot. This model was sold only
on the education market, thus decreasing the sales of all-in-one
computers on the consumer market. In 1997, Apple launched
the Power Macintosh 5500 similar to the 5260 and 5400, but it was equipped with
a PowerPC 603ev processor. In early 1998, production of the
5400 and 5500 was discontinued, with Apple launching
the Power Macintosh G3. In 1998, Apple introduced the
Power Macintosh G3 All-in-One as a replacement for the 5400 and 5500 models. This model was available
in two configurations, namely a 233MHz version with a floppy
disk drive and a hard disk drive, 4Gb and a 266MHz version
with a Zip drive and floppy drive. Due to its shape,
it was nicknamed "Molar Mac", was beige in color and had a translucent
perforated plastic at the top. The price of these versions started at 1599 USD
and were intended more for schools. The iMac G3 was launched in 1998 and
was the first model in the iMac series. In terms of its design,
this model was completely different. It was made of translucent
plastic of "blue bondi" color, had an egg shape and a 15-inch screen. Later, the iMac G3 was
available in 13 colors: Bondi Blue, Lime, Grape, Blueberry,
Strawberry, Graphite, Ruby, Sage, Tangerine, Indigo, Snow,
Blue Dalmation and Flower Power. Under the hood, the iMac G3
comes with 34 MB of RAM, but can reach up to 384MB of RAM
and a 4GB or 6GB hard drive. It was also the first computer
to have USB ports as standard and had a connector for keyboard and mouse. The iMac G4 was launched in 2002 and was one of the biggest
improvements to Apple computers. It had an LCD screen with a diagonal of
15/17/20 inches on an adjustable support, tray loading DVD + CD drive positioned above a hemisphere and a
fourth generation PowerPC processor. The iMac G5 was launched in 2004 and was the last iMac to
use a PowerPc processor. With a totally different design, the iMac G5
uses the same 17- and 20-inch LCD screen, and the optical drive and all of the main
logic board are positioned behind the LCD panel, giving it a thicker monitor look. In 2005, the iMac G5 was
improved aesthetically, was thinner, had a slightly sloping back, had a webcam above the screen and
had an Apple Row media interface. In 2007, Apple came back with
major changes to iMac computers. The new iMac is built in an
aluminum, glass and plastic case, and its back is no longer detachable. It also had a new very
thin aluminum keyboard, was available in three configurations,
and the price started at 1199 USD. In 2009, Apple launched
the iMac Unibody which had a larger screen
and a much faster processor. This model was available in four configurations,
and the starting price was 1199 USD. At the same time, the new wireless accessories were
introduced a keyboard and a Magic Mouse. In 2012, Apple launched the slim
version of the iMac Unibody model, which was much thinner
compared to previous models, the thinnest point being only 5 mm
due to a complete lamination process. It also had a new Fusion Drive, which
combines the performance of Flash storage with the capacity of a hard drive. The starting price of this model was 1299 USD. In 2014, Apple came up
with something innovative, launching the first 27-inch
iMac with 5K Retina display, with over 14.7 million pixels. At the same time, its appearance did not
change compared to the previous model, but only internal improvements. A few months later, the Retina 4K model
was launched, which came with new accessories: a new Magic keyboard, Magic Mouse 2
and Magic Trackpad 2. In 2017, Apple launched the 27-inch
iMac line with 5k Retina display, and the 21-inch line with 4k Retina display. This model is equipped with graphics
cards and very powerful processors and has up to 18 cores and Turbo
Boost with speeds up to 4.5 GHz. It also has DDR4 RAM up to
265GB and storage up to 4TB. All this being hidden in a
very thin and minimalist case. This year,
Apple launched a new model of iMac super well designed and equipped
with various advanced tools that allow the realization
of an idea at the highest level. It has faster processors and video cards, Ram memory up to 128GB and
a storage capacity of up to 8TB. This model comes in two variants, 21.5 and 27 inches, and the
starting price is 1299 USD. Thanks for watching! Don't forget to
