Original Release Date: January 7, 2002

In July the same year Apple added a 17” iMac G4 to the lineup featuring a 800MHz CPU and a GeForce MX4 rather than the GeForce MX2 in the 15” models. This 17” iMac G4 (M8812LL) is capable to run OS X and also able to boot into MacOS 9. However, in February 2003 Apple replaced the 17” iMac G4 / 800MHz with another 17” iMac G4 / 800MHz. The iMac G4 only uses 7 of the 8pins, however when the one was not connected, it would not turn off immediately when the computer slept, so I will have to make sure I have one extra wire going through the neck to use all 8 pins of the inverter.

Apple’s ‘Think Different’ philosophy was in its prime with the new iMac G4. A radical redesign moving from CRT to LCD technology mounted on a novel white hemispherical base. Apple described the new model as “unlike anything you’ve ever seen or experienced” – not many people disagreed.

The sunflower inspired design included a 15″ LCD display with an elegant stainless steel ‘stem’ allowing for easy repositioning at almost any angle.

The powerful new PowerPC G4 processor with AltiVec “Velocity Engine” provided the new iMac’s OS X operating system with enough speed to run smoothly.

The three 15″ models came with USB 1.1, FireWire, Nvidia Graphics a mini-VGA output port, built-in modem and Ethernet, and Apple’s Wireless Networking – AirPort.
