An "all-in-one" computer, designed for the low-end users.
Their simplicity made them popular among schools, colleges, females, new computer users, and other people who did not realize the benefits of buying a different computer that can be easily upgraded.
-No floppy drive. Intended as "moving forward" but the first models didnt even have a CD-RW drive, making the simple task of transporting(not transfering) data very inconvenient.
-One button mouse, again, good for 8th-grade students and for old people who may have trouble understanding two-button mice.
- Considered to be very cheap, but you are still getting what you pay for(300Mhz, 64mb RAM, 6-gig HD, built-in 15-inch display(not flat) would be costing you $800+) Not a real bargain.
-A lot of schools have bought new G5 computers since their original iMacs are almost impossible to expand/upgrade, making them obsolete.
If your buying a computer, keep your future in mind; If it's an O.K. computer now, what will it be in three years? Will you be able to add to it and keep it up to date, saving you money in the long run?

Johnny bought an iMac, it was good for a year. He couldnt buy any cheap upgrades so if he wants anything faster, he will have to spend $800.00+ on a new computer.

A type of personal computer with just only a screen manufactured by Apple. Mostly use for work. Many people like it but most gamers think it's trash since it can't run most games they could play on Windows and it costs about $1500. With those money, you could buy a Beast Gaming PC.
a. I got a new iMac! My dad bought it for me.
b. It's trash, your dad wasted a lot money for that piece of shit.

An iMac desktop computer produced and sold by Apple from 2002 to 2004. The iMac G4 was designed by Steve Jobs using the robot workbench in Fallout 4. Taking a Mister Handy, he added an LCD frame to the top factory torso armor, which was mounted via an adjustable arm. The spherical front factory armor was cut horizontally in half and everything under the top half was scrapped and re-purposed for use in future models. Removing all of the eyes from the Mister Handy allowed space for a tray-loading optical drive mod to be installed. Jobs found a mod on Nexus that allowed adding a PowerPC G4 74xx CPU to a Mister Handy's motherboard in the robot workbench, and used this in his design. As the finishing touch, white paint was applied to the bot and both Mac OS 9.2 + Mac OS X 10.1 were installed. Bethesda Softworks was impressed by this design and recognized Jobs for spending $14.99 on the Automatron DLC.
