iMac G4

[liambates2]

I have one

[DulceXimenaBO]

"You could never fit a super drive in the side".. see that new iMac please steve :) LOL

[silenteyesspy]

this is their best design, glad I still have mine running leopard :)

[ilikevines]

i laughed when he talked about optical drive performance suffering when you put them on their side. reminded me of when the imac we have at work fucked up when we tried to burn a disc.

[mubd1234]

My state DMV actually has these in every "service" booth.

It's even more of a waste when you consider they use some terrible text-based user interface inside Mac OS X.

[daas8214]

Still the best designed computer in the world.

[TowerOfTerror99]

New 2011 iMac is better ;)

[1afjrotc]

I remember using them in elementary school.

[NicksLocker]

@1afjrotc You got iMac G4's? Lucky, we got the thick heavy CRT eMacs. Still loved them though.

[roger767]

I miss the white iMacs

[shaneduboiscomputers]

still have and useing mine now

[smoothcriminal58]

Great audience lol

[noiveneriamolamela]

Who's the fuck don't like this video???

[pinoyroknrap]

@noiveneriamolamela Retards who don't have good taste in designs.

[Tranchera]

Best computer I've ever owned. Beautiful design and wonderfully powerful for its time. Lasted me plenty of years.

[Virgofenix]

Ironic that the iMac that followed this one is the original iMac hacked on the back.

[DustinTROM]

Steve: "And I can move the screen with just a touch."

Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Lol. But seriously, bring back the articulating screens!

[gennyann2]

@DustinTROM I saw an Apple patent awhile ago that showed an articulating screen. Sort of a cross between the current iMac L-shaped stand and the 2nd-generation sunflower design. Allows the user to pull the screen close and near-horizontal for multitouch. That alone gives me great hope that we'll continue to see great things in the coming years!

[noiveneriamolamela]

I miss you steve

[ddaavvaa774]

RIP Steve Jobs

1955-2011

Fuck u cancer!!! ;(

[kenryokanbara]

R.I.P.

[oblitum]

no puedo creer que haya muerto :(

[drpepper1106]

I'm going to miss Steve Jobs. His keynotes were the best!

[PenaltyKillah]

Btw, this iMac reminds me a lot of Luxo Jr., the lamp that tramples the Pixar logo before every one of their movies :) More kudos to Steve for Pixar :))

[PenaltyKillah]

"Beauty and grace to last the next decade."

Turns out to be the next couple of years. The truly all-in-one G5 was released in 2004. This just shows how Steve and Apple kept outperforming themselves beyond their initial expectations.

[psbj]

At the last day of his life, he transformed himself from iCEO to iGOD

[ddaavvaa774]

Thumbs up if you think they shud make a new Mac With this model and a Mac mini inside!

[MrFigmentofi]

This computer is f*cking sexy! Your argument is invalid!

[webly17]

My favourite iMac ever.

[gunnarMyTube]

It's a product of its time.Back then the drives didn't perform well vertically. Later developments remove those constraints. But the case design is a thing to behold. I run a 20" one as kitchen/jukebox machine. What a beauty.

[Virgofenix]

I loved this iMac. Ironically, the current iMac is the original iMac with a chopped up back.

[hedwerkn]

@Virgofenix Very true - it was a completely unique yet ergonomic design. I believe that it was quite an expensive design to produce too, circular logic board and the LCD 'arm' in particular, so it isn't surprising that they went the 'big iPod' design route when they got around the issues with the vertical optical drive and making it thin enough, particularly as the screens got bigger and heavier.

[dragoon0248]

4:23 The first iPad!!!

[beefcake0354]

isn't that "less than great" he just mentioned what they have now with iMac G5 and later?

[jm1jonas]

Am i the only one who thinks that its very funny the bad things he says about the motherboard being behind the screen XD

[horsycos88]

I wanna go back in time and take a picture with Steve using a 1Ghz,64 Gb retina display iphone 4 :))

[silenteyesspy]

We still use this in our house, along with mac mini and Imac 27' :) we love Macs

[lilycrumble1]

i got one it has osx tiger i love it

[marioman11200]

1:40 to 2:12 Steve Jobs describes how he rejected the current iMac

[ultimatetoturial56]

ohh god..steve jobs is very thin compare this  fuck cancer

[gunnarMyTube]

He last 2004 incarnation with 20" LCD, 1.25GHz and up to 2GB RAM still holds up pretty well with Leopard. I can run any of the indispensable kitchen computer apps on it including Spotify, Filezilla :) and VLC. I added a 500GB IDE drive and a quiet fan.

Getting the heat transfer paste renewed at the CPU heat pipe improves on the quiteness. Still inner airflow is restricted due to the huge superdrive and HDD. LCD is very high quality.

[MusicalObsessions]

gave my old imac G4 to my sister 7 years ago. the thing is still soldiering on!!

[DeeWox]

@TheTopOfTheCrop

That's because they solved many of the problems they faced in 2002 building this machine.

[JoshHartNow]

I am planning on getting one of these, and putting Leopard on it.

[rollcanja]

iMiss this design of the iMac. 2002 kind of became 2010 back then. :-)

[etienne1152]

I want this iMac. With Intel Core i7, 8Gb of RAM and 24" display. :)

[asyukiu]

Jobs looks healthy back then......

[thedarkone2134]

The best looking iMac ever built. Years later they still look great and I imagine they'll still look great in the future.

They should have stuck with this and not the G5's design.

[TheMusicCloud]

WHERE DID YOU GET THIS VIDEO AND WHERE CAN I WATCH ALL MACWORLDS ONLINE? :-D

PLEASE REPLY SOMEONE.

[virusalert996]

I still use mine.

1Ghz

1.4 Tiger

[mlthomp1981]

Anyone notice.. how he says the bit starting at 1:17 would have fatal flaws? Uhmm that's very reminiscent of the iMac G5 / Intel iMac design lol. Talking about how the logic board would be behind the display, and the optical drive would be slower lol. I just thought that was funny.. That's pretty much what the next generation iMac was.. Only much nicer =)

[c3vzn]

This would have been great with a touchscreen.

[8bennugent]

i love how he says the new imac would not work well

[MattieKirby1]

i have got one of these and it was built on the 27th of january 2002... yeah one of the first ones!!!

[aryatololHTF]

Apple had creative idea before, and now they have elegant idea (without making some colorful and radical designed Mac but instead making Elegant alumunium Mac)

[typeanoise]

Still a cool looking computer.

[wutzerface77]

they should make another one of these.... this is the best iMac ever

[mattnanokid]

It's funny how the new iMacs have all of the things he said were bad ideas from the earlier iMac, except they aren't so bad anymore.

[Titanz91]

@mattnanokid I think at the time they'd of been a "bad" idea. Not to mention the added expense.

[Gameboykd]

its sad that it cant play games like left 4 dead, half life, half life 2, and many others. in fact even steam for mac probably wont run on this computer right because even though it has a sexy processor, it dosent have a sexy graphics card, a sexy amount of memory, nor any other components needed.

its like a giant brain on top of a little body.

[DeltaPhi79]

@Gameboykd This was a pretty powerful machine back in 2002. :P

[hk5675]

the sexiest imac design...

[Merc140497]

It's hard to believe that it was made in 2002... even Windows monitors and computers aren't even this close today! :)

[Shauniewaunieee]

We just replaced this as our general internet and wp house computer, but none of us can get rid of it because its such a design icon!

[123halo97]

"It's gonna last the next decade". Yeah...?

[pokewhiz7]

All in ones are great, especially if you want to upgrade it. (sarcasm)

[TheThunderbird63]

@pokewhiz7 Not everyone needs 10GB of RAM or a high end video card. These are targeted at people who need a bit more than basic computing power, but want the space-saving of an all-in-one. I personally live in a small apartment in Brooklyn, and don't have room for a large setup, so my 27" iMac is the perfect fit for the small amount of space that I do have.

Not to mention that it's basically replaced my television as well.

[pokewhiz7]

@TheThunderbird63 So if you upgrade your computer that automatically means you have 10GB of RAM and a GTX 580? 

[MophieZ]

cd drive one the side?.. isnt it on the side today?..

[bobbytomorow]

g4 imac truly was and still is an enineering marvel. i remember walking into stores and drooling over it. i did finally get one, i got 3 8^)

[prmccarron]

I have a G4. For when it was created, it's really amazing

[booglypoo]

I'm a PC guy, but my university had a Mac computer lab filled with just these Mac G4's, and they were the most beautifully designed computers ever! So much fun to use, and to swivel the display :) I don't know why these went away.

[drewpy2926]

They should sell these again bcuz it's like the best mac design ever and it could be cheaper now and they would still make millions cuz let's face it who doesn't want one

[funnyent]

My iMac G4 is still up and running today. Still great for web browsing and media playback!

[robotmonkey73]

I love how steve opens up bashing a computer design that would eventually replace this....

[bouchandre]

is it just me or did he said at 2:58 "the next dickhead" ???

[cowsrock94]

@PrancerTube it probobly is, i have an old imac g3 and it does everything except youtube. it cant use fb apps but im pretty sure a g4 with enough ram can.

[MaTTsebastian7]

new iMac sucks.

this one is WAYYY better.

Hey apple, make this thing again with 2010 features, it would sell millions..and of course, make it cheaper.

[DarkImage11]

@MaTTsebastian7 agreed, there new design isn't really going anywhere in my opinion. these designs had a lot of work put into them

[ChwyNiblet]

It is a little older, but is just find for searching the web and whatnot.

[jhonsebastiantv]

best presentator i've ever seen!! bill gates presented with q-cards or reading the screens

[raysfan1181]

THE most beautiful computer ever. They should make then again!

[raysfan1181]

them* my bad

[drummerkid1993]

The latest iMacs are better :)

[bertocaster]

@raysfan1181

Yea maybe the advanced hardware are slightly bigger? but what the hack its possible because its apple!

[Kilika6400]

My first and favorite Mac design

[WindowsAndMacintosh]

Many people think that they should put an Intel chip in these and sell them as a low-end iMac. I agree with them!

[CarManiac225]

Even toady that design is a beautiful design. SO Minimalistic.

[hiyaitsmejoel1]

yeah, the design was so ahead of its time!

[TheQuarkz]

it still is.

[blueblob4]

I might buy one of these just for the design and some word precessing so I don't have to use the iMac in my basement. ITS COLD DOWN HERE!

[hiyaitsmejoel1]

i brought one of ebay for $120!! and its GREAT!!!

[RaulValdovinos]

yea, they are pretty cheap now and I think they are still a great deal for any computer lover

[justchilliwithindo]

he did fix the fatal flaws anyway... look at the fucking imac now, lol pardon my language

[miniroll32]

No they didn't. The Superdrive is only 8x speed on the current iMacs, compared to 18x on the Mac Pro's.

[NoxiousGasCloud]

@miniroll32 now they have 18x on the 27" iMac

[bwillwall]

I can only dream apple will use this design again

[MysticTrunksHQ]

Maybe the dome but not the display above it.. It's possible that the mac mini might use a similar design in the future.

I wish the imac will use something like this in the future...

[LuxAurumque]

What a truly classic design.

[lololzak]

hahaha 3:10 silent clap

[OneTapiwaman]

Beauty and grace to last the next decade... I have to agree.

[mattnanokid]

@OneTapiwaman Maybe they'll remake this in 2012.

[MacRulesWindowsSucks]

This is the sexiest mac ever

[tennisguy4657]

that is awesomely designed. If only we could add the new technology(leopard) and the new intel chips to this with ilife 08, and of course an isight camera it would be like the most awesome imac ever

[kissanova]

I. Want. One.

[firstraptor73]

I love this design!!! Imagine this with aluminum and black glass like the new one!!!

[hippert2]

The best iMac ever made.

[dag09]

you notice when he talks about the flaws with putting everyhitng on the side, He is talking about the new iMacs lol

[trevorlsciact]

Yepp; and I still prefer this design--most attractive computer ever made. The new aluminum ones look pretty sleek tho--but they use mostly laptop parts which is a flaw with that thin slab design :-(

[dag09]

Yeah, I really wish apple would bring back this design with intel chips... that would be cool

[trevorlsciact]

Especially sine software is starting to require at least a G5 (like iMovie '08) so it is now really being obsoleted (at least leopard will work on it)

Not that I have one, when they get cheap enough on ebay tho...

[OneTapiwaman]

Well, in '01 he promised optical drives for all their notebooks, and now...

[blueblob4]

Meh, I'm on a 24" aluminium iMac and its still amazing. I'm still relishing its design even after 9 months. The display is brilliant

[sunnyat1]

genius!

[no1yankfan]
