iMac (Early 2001)

iMac (Early 2001)

Compared with the iMac (Summer 2000), this base model has a faster 400 MHz G3 processor and adds two FireWire 400 ports and a VGA output. It kept the slot-loading CD-ROM drive, while the more expensive Early 2001 models got CD-RW drives. It came in Indigo only, with a 10 GB hard drive, and shipped with iTunes.
