Comments
The G5 iMac was the third major redesign of the iMac platform. Apple replaced
the two-part half bowling ball base and hinged monitor of the G4 iMac with a
single flat enclosure encompassing both the computer and monitor that stood
on a small metal base. The G5 would be the last PowerPC
processor used by Apple.
This model originally included built-in stereo speakers, Apple Keyboard, Apple Mouse,
modem cable; Mail, iChat AV, Safari, Sherlock, Address Book, QuickTime, iSync, iCal;
iLife '05 (includes iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie HD, iDVD and GarageBand), AppleWorks, Quicken
2004 for Mac, World Book 2004 Edition, Nanosaur 2, Marble Blast Gold, Microsoft Office 2004
for Mac Test Drive and Apple Hardware Test.
