iMac back shotThe most powerful dome this side of the Capitol.
Tech Specs:G4 Processor:SuperDrive:Graphics:Wireless:Software

iMac Ports Thanks to some nifty hardware engineering, the iMac’s dome-shaped base houses the entire computer: central processing unit (CPU), logic board, hard drive, optical drive, and power supply. Fact is, inside this easy-to-use powerhouse, you’ll find everything you need to make movies, burn your own music CDs and DVDs and manage your digital photo albums. There’s even a music store that lets you sample, buy and download your favorite music in digital format. And because it has such a small footprint (just 10.6 inches in diameter), you can put your iMac in places where you previously might not have considered keeping a computer, like your bedroom, living room or kitchen — just about wherever, in fact, you’d like to use it. What’s more, since the iMac is wireless-ready, you don’t even have to place it near a phone jack. Simply pop in an AirPort Extreme Card, hook up an AirPort Extreme Base Station to your phone line, DSL connection or cable modem, and you can surf the Internet wirelessly.
