iMac (Flat Panel)

This iMac put a 15-inch flat LCD on a steel arm above a 10.6-inch dome base that holds the computer. The arm lets the screen tilt, swivel and move up and down. It was the first iMac with a G4 processor, a 700 MHz PowerPC G4 with NVIDIA GeForce2 MX graphics. It shipped with Mac OS X 10.1.2 as its default system, with Mac OS 9.2.2 also installed.
