This is an excellent recap of an historic Apple desktop computer system. Back in the day, I hated the colorful CRT iMac's, then feel in love with the white 20-inch G4 iMac, white 20-inch G5 iMac, and white 24-inch iMac systems, the first silver version was a major change but, I did like the all black color on the black of the 24-inch IMac, when the DVD super-drive was removed felt this desktop model had turned into a joke because, I now had to add externally devices to get back what used to be included in the All-in-One design and lastly, the all black design of the iMac Pro was pretty cool and hip with its matching black keyboard, track pad, and mouse.
I built a gaming PC in 2019. Cases don’t even have CD ROM drive bays anymore. No one really uses CDs. PC games are all downloads, the boxed versions at stores are just downloaded codes. USB thumb drives are also a thing of the past. Documents can be sent easily via email, large files can be stored in the cloud. Imagine having all your data on a thumb drive and it’s lost. Printers are wireless, internet is wireless, many devices can be connected via Bluetooth or even WiFi such as DSLR and Action Cameras. The only thing that you would need to plug in is high speed storage or secondary display. Thunder Bolt/USB 4.0 support means the fastest IO is on iMac.
@@JasonB808 I completely agree the future is the use of less not more physical storage devices for data, operating systems, and program applications. Have been around long enough to see this happen over and over again. Apple removed the internal floppy drive with the first colorful CRT iMac's, then removed internal Zip drives, next they removed the Fire-wire 400 port followed with the removal of the Fire-wire 800 port, next they removed their internal DVD super-drive, afterward they removed the IR reader which, supported their white remote control, and now say "good bye" to the USB "A" port. If, I was just starting my career after college these new colorful iMac's would be just as much fun to me as my first Apple computer was. This system, was an All-in-One 5400 with an internal Apple video card, and Apple TV/FM card with matching black remote control.
I remember the 2009 iMac... and I know the future would be "even thinner than this impossibly thin iMac" and here we are... the 2021 iMac is insanely thin, I mean look at it.
@@visheshl bruh... welcome to the future. You think today compared to say 20-30 years from now will be the same? What are we achieving? Really? Gosh... the hesitancy and pessimism is real.
I have a 2010 MacBook Pro. Still works today, however it simply isn’t up to today’s standards. But I was still using it in 2019. It shows the quality of Apple products in terms of fit and finish as well as how durable the components they use. Hopefully my new M1 MacBook Pro 💻 holds up as well.
Their desktop models are still some of the cheapest for the market they’re competing in. A PC with that level of processing, 4.5k monitor, and OS features at the same price would be almost impossible
i still have the 2009 one and i have to admit its aged very well compared to the other computers in modern day with 3.6ghz 2 cores and 12gb of ram is good for gaming on minecraft or something
the new iMacs have a perfect place to use your decade old Apple stickers. I still have my unused Apple stickers from the day when I bought my iPhone 4s.
I image the iMac with the M1X to be as thin as the iMac with the M1, but the M1X model would have most components on the bottom like the iMac G4 also the same lever/hinge
i've always been an apple laptop guy since grad school but never had a imac, isnt the new display a downgrade from the 5k? I am still interested in the blue one..
@@lucar95gg ah that's what I thought too the basic one is pretty sleek tho I wonder if they will update with with the m1x/m2 or keep as is for a few years since the basic m1 is almost a year old I think. I guess the pro imac will have the new chip but $500+ higher cost..
@@OGaurabless Probably, I mean, it would be the best to use the new M1 for the more expensive model of their computer to have a difference between their products We still don't know yet how much it will add to the final price, it matter of time untile the next Apple even I hope Apple continues to offer adequate prices for what they are offering like what they did with the IMac and Macbook Air
the 24 inch one is a replacement for the 21.5 inch imac which didn't have a 5k display. it had 4k so now they upgraded to 4.5k. the 27 inch is the one with 5k. and it is possible that the next big imac will be 32 inch with possibly bigger resolution. we'll have to wait and see
I have an IMac 21“ 4K from 2017 since last year and I personally love it. I wouldn’t even wanted to change it to the new one because I don’t like it’s design:)
Honestly, the design is striking in itself. But the fact that they got so far with technology to put everything inside an enclosure so thin is even more exciting! I mean, it's really incredible. Though for me, i think they should've made it a tad thicker, have the power supply in the iMac and remove the chin. So that it would be just the screen. I'm sure Apple can do this but i also understand they want recognizability! That chin provides that and of course, that way it's also good to have and the computer parts and the loudspeakers in there, which, to be honest, to seem to sound good and that is also a great accomplishment for a design as thin like this! So all in all. I think it will be a great computer for the bigger market. Now i hope we pro/sumers, can have that nice iMac pro like display, with black bezels thin display without that chin. But let's wait and see what Apple has in store for us! 😎
I love the design of the first and second generation iMac, but I really can't get used to white bezels in the new one. I know a lot of people like it and that's perfectly fine, I just really don't like it. Same with the colours, first generation iMac did colours so good, in the new one I find them boring and a bit tacky, the translucent body allowed the colours to have texture, shadows and lights. But in the new one I find them boring. Edit: I just realised one of the reasons I like white bezels in the first 2 iMacs but not the 3rd and new one, the first 2 didn't have webcams, and the design made them look like something that is alive, something with more soul, 3rd and new one have webcams and a more industrial feel.
@@wasdplayer It wouldn’t work with the color palette they are using right now. Of course it would work with the right colours. Edit: actually if you look at the current silver one… I would love that one so much with black bezels.
How can you say that you don’t like them or that you’re not used to them? The product literally hasn’t even been released yet. I’m almost 99% sure that you haven’t even seen or used one of these computers in real life
The new iMac is the love child from Steve Job’s loins. This is his was what he always wanted the iMac to become. This was his magnum opus, the iMacs final form.
agreed. just like how the original came in all those colors and focused on “fun”. trying to not look like a computer, but something that naturally belongs in any home context.
I think that’s why that model is remembered so fondly. It had wide-spread use by millions of children who remember it with nostalgia and became familiar with how to use the OS
The new iMacs! How did they get so thin!? Also, I’m uneducated. Do iMacs need a computer/studio to work?? Or do they run on their own? I’ve seen the giant Studio’s that people plug into their iMac’s, but I’ve seen ones that aren’t plugged into the studio thing so I’m confused. Are the ones that run on the giant Studio even iMac’s? I’m a windows girl, so I have no clue.
colour matching started with the beginning of imacs and now the ending of imacs. I don't think imacs will get any more slimmer than this. This is the limit.
I remember in Middle school there were a bunch of computer labs with PCs with Windows 7 and there was that one art room with original iMacs. My reaction is like "wtf is this mouse". This was in 2014 too and they were still using 1998 iMacs
I suddenly thought of the movie Inside Out, where the protagonists were in a chamber where they turned into abstract fragmentation. From three dimensional to two dimensional.
The 2nd iMac still gives me chills
Totally agree, that was the peak. Just beautiful.
Guess who has an iMac G4
It's still freaking neat!

@@RabbitConfirmed the imac still beats the surface studio not because imacs are cool but surface studio specs are trash and no I don't use any apple or microsoft product but I have studied both of their specs ..
That time when having a lot of ports was a thing to be proud for apple.
It still is for the customer but companies don't accept it 🥺
depressing 😔😔
Actually Steve never liked a lot of ports and neither did Jony, it was always marketing/backend people that fought for that stuff.
The main thing that annoys me is the lack of an SD card slot. At least they included an ethernet adapter in the box though.
Ikr I wouldn’t buy the new one until they add SD ports
I have a early 2015 11’ MacBook Air and that thing still runs like a beast. The design on these machines are timeless and well worth the money
Same 😂
Same with my 2012 MacBook Pro!
Lol I have a 2010 15 inch MacBook Pro running big sur with dual graphics
