The first iMac, introduced by Steve Jobs just a few months prior, marked a turning point for Apple and the first true consumer desktop from the company.
The internet is exciting. The first iMac was described by Jobs during the keynote in 1998. Jobs compared it to other computers on the market. Those computers were slow, featured smaller 13 to 14-inch displays, and were ugly according to Jobs. The original iMac wanted to target each weak point with faster performance, a better looking design, and updated I/O ports.
The powerful G3/233 processor was the reason Jobs decided to make it fast. The first iMac had a 15-inch display with a resolution of 1366x768, 32MB of standard memory, 4GB of disk storage, a 24x CD-ROM drive, and a 33.6Kb modem. A keyboard and mouse for I/O and peripherals were included in the original iMac.
People were able to see inside the machine with the translucent design. "The back of this thing looks better than the front of the other guys," Jobs joked. Beneath the iMac's display, there were stereo surround speakers, a CD-ROM, and a headphones jack.
The iMac was first introduced 24 years ago and has evolved a lot. The iMac with M1 is similar to the original iMac in that it is available in many colors. Over the years, the iMac's design has become thinner, slimmer, and more powerful.
