Macintosh- the most popular series of computers produced by Apple. The name of the device is due to the popular North American apple variety Malus McIntosh.

Over the 33 years of its existence, computers were divided into professional and consumer lines, stylish and compact laptops, stationary models have become more powerful and productive.

Here are 27 of the most iconic models in the Mac line.

First Macintosh (1984)

The first Mac was released January 24, 1984. It was one of the first personal computers to use a graphical user interface. Shortly after the launch of the Macintosh, the company stopped producing Apple III computers, which were inferior in all respects to the new product.

Users were not particularly enthusiastic about the release of the Macintosh; critics criticized the closed architecture, which did not allow one to change specifications devices. After the popular and beloved by geeks of the time, the Apple II, the Macintosh did not look very promising.

Macintosh Plus (1986)

The computer was released after Jobs was fired from the company. In it, the developers tried to eliminate the main complaints of users and equipped the computer with 1 megabyte random access memory(the first model had only 128 kilobytes of RAM) and a SCSI port for connecting peripherals.

The Macintosh Plus came with a solid suite of office software. As a result, the model was produced until the end of 1990 and all this time remained the most affordable personal computer Apple.

Macintosh SE (1987)

Introduced in the spring of 1987, Macintosh SE was the first Mac with the ability to install additional hard drive or a second drive. A special expansion slot on the board made it possible to connect devices, including those from third-party manufacturers.

A ventilation system was installed in the SE case, which saved the Macintosh from a common problem - overheating.

Macintosh II (1987)

The device was fundamentally different from previous models in the presence of a color display, which made it possible to display images supporting 256 colors in a resolution of 640 by 480 pixels.

There were 6 expansion ports inside for installation additional fees and modules. The price tag for the Macintosh II started at $5,500, which was considerable at that time, and the maximum configuration cost more than $10,000.

Macintosh Portable (1989)

The model was Apple's first attempt to release something similar to modern laptops. The device was equipped with a black and white LCD display and a removable battery.

The hardware was weak at that time; only the amount of RAM could be expanded. At the same time, the device weighed more than 7 kilograms and cost more than the basic Macintosh II models.

Due to the characteristics of the battery, users could not work for some time after the battery was completely discharged, even when connected to the network, and the missing backlight of the matrix made working in the dark difficult.

Macintosh Classic (1990)

Apple decides to release an affordable solution - the Macintosh Classic. The computer with a black-and-white display was practically no different from the first Macintosh, but the device cost only $999.

The first Mac under a thousand dollars became truly massive. The performance was sufficient for most ordinary users.

PowerBook (1991)

After weak sales of the Macintosh Portable, the company completely revised its vision of a portable computer and released the PowerBook. It was already similar to modern laptops, basic model had a 9-inch monochrome display.

The design of the model was developed by specialists from Sony.

A trackball was used to control the cursor. Time battery life was at 3.5 hours.

Quadra (1991)

That same year, the company released the Quadra, which became the progenitor of the Mac Pro.

The device was equipped with a powerful 25 MHz processor, 4 MB of RAM and a 400 MB disk.

Power Macintosh (1994)

Apple's advanced personal computers went on sale in 1994. They worked on 60 MHz processors that were productive for that time.

The devices coped well with video and sound processing. This later helped popularize the Mac among professional users.

Due to competition with Microsoft, Apple was forced to reduce the price and at the start of sales the basic model was sold for $1,700.

20th Anniversary Macintosh (1997)

In the spring of 1997, the 20th Anniversary Macintosh computer went on sale. It was released to celebrate the company's 20th anniversary. The exorbitant price tag of $10,000 did not contribute to large sales, even though the device was delivered to the buyer’s home for that money.

Inside was a 250 MHz processor, 32 MB of RAM, HDD 2 GB, radio and TV tuners. The image was displayed on a 12-inch LCD display.

A year later, the model was sold for $2,000.

PowerBook G3 (1997)

The model was released after Jobs returned, but was still being developed in his absence.

All models were equipped with a black rubberized body and had a luminous logo on the back cover. At that time, it faced the user when closed, and when the lid was opened, it turned upside down.

iMac G3 (1998)

The iMac was Jobs's first serious project after returning to Apple. The personal PC was developed for a wide range of buyers. The bright translucent body contained all the insides and looked very attractive.

Was first involved in the design development Jony Ive.

The model was equipped with a built-in modem and speakers, which made it possible to immediately use it for networking and multimedia entertainment.

iBook G3 (1999)

The laptop was aimed at a wide range of consumers and had a bright, memorable design. The model became truly widespread; it was purchased by students and schoolchildren.

The iBook was one of the first laptops on the market with a built-in Wi-Fi module.

PowerMac Cube (2000)

Not the most successful attempt to make a compact and powerful computer was undertaken in the early 2000s. The PowerMac Cube had good parameters, but did not allow for upgrades. The price tag ranged from $1,700 to $2,299.

The model sold poorly and was discontinued after a year.

iMac G4 (2002)

The company decided to radically redesign the model. The computer took on the shape familiar to us today, but most of the filling was located in a powerful base.

The model was equipped with an LCD display and in the basic configuration cost $1,299. The older version with improved hardware and a CD-ROM on board cost $1,799.

PowerMac G5 (2003)

A year later, the professional desktop Mac got aluminum body and a design familiar to mono blocks. The device became the first mass-produced solution with 64-bit processors manufactured by IBM - Motorola.

iMac G5 (2004)

The first iMac model in which the developers were able to place the hardware in the case behind the display. They decided to leave the body itself plastic, but the model clearly set the course for the development of the line.

Apple still uses a similar iMac design with minor modifications and changes. IN model range There were configurations with 17 and 20 inch displays.

Mac mini (2005)

After the not very successful PowerMac Cube model, Apple decided to make a compact computer for a wide range of consumers without a monitor, keyboard or pointing device.

At one time, the Mac mini was considered very compact; the user was offered good hardware with DVD drive and the ability to display images in Full HD resolution.

MacBook and MacBook Pro (2006)

This year the company decided to switch to using Intel processors. iBook and PowerBook laptops have been renamed MacBook and MacBook Pro. Initially, the devices were produced in a plastic case, there was even a black model.

MacBook Pro in Unibody case (2008)

Professional laptops in 2008 received updated design and a metal body machined from a single piece of aluminum. For ease of use, a glass touchpad began to be used under the keyboard.

MacBook Air (2008)

Apple used thin aluminum unibody technology in the ultra-thin MacBook Air laptop. The case thickness of 19 mm, amazing at that time, left all competitors far behind.

The models used SSD drives, but the filling was not the most productive, the model got very hot even under light load.

MacBook Pro Retina (2012)

The next revolution in the line of personal computers began with the professional model of laptops. It was the MacBook Pro that was the first to receive a Retina display with amazing resolution and picture quality.

Later, all Apple computer models (except MacBook Air) received similar matrices, and Retina resolution became a kind of standard in the production of displays for laptops, tablets and smartphones.

Mac Pro (2013)

For the first time in 10 years, the desktop professional Mac received absolutely new design. It was a black metal cylinder like no other.

The considerable price tag of $2,999 was partly justified by the powerful hardware with the possibility of an upgrade. Until now, the Mac Pro is produced in a similar case.

MacBook (2015)

Cupertino decided to put an end to the legendary MacBook Air. The company begins selling an ultra-compact MacBook. The device has an energy efficient mobile processor with passive cooling.

At the same time, the new MacBook is free from the main drawback of the Air and has a bright and rich 12-inch Retina display.

MacBook Pro (2016)

One of the most controversial updates to the MacBook Pro line. All modifications, with the exception of the base 13-inch, instead of the top row function keys Got a touchpad.

It greatly diversifies the process of interacting with a laptop, but at the same time does not allow you to use the device without looking at the keyboard unit.

Another controversial decision was the abandonment of various ports and interfaces in favor of universal USB Type-C.

iMac Pro (2017)

It looks like Apple is going to shut down production of the Mac Pro. The role of the powerful desktop computer will now go to the new iMac Pro.

The model was presented in 2017, but sales will begin only before the New Year holidays.

The magnificent 27-inch 5K display is complemented by powerful hardware and an immodest price tag.

This is how one of the most famous and popular personal computers in the world develops. Some people think modern models the peak of technology and evolution, while others note a decline and ideological crisis at Apple. This does not prevent computers from selling well and bringing a large share of the company's profits.

Appearance new iPhone causes heated discussion in society. Even people who are not interested in this topic have an idea of ​​​​new products.

The iMac doesn't have that kind of fame. And this despite the fact that Apple first released these devices back in 19988.

In 2009, the penultimate generation of iMac was announced. A little over 3 years have passed. Therefore, the recently released iMac will certainly surprise everyone with the most unexpected surprises.

First meeting

Design

The packaging of the new iMac device is very interesting. If you get it in your hands correctly, no one will even guess that a computer could fit inside such a small and super light device. The highlight of this computer are his minimum dimensions. If we compare this model with the previous generation iMac, its volume has decreased by as much as 40%, the thickness of the case is no more than 5 mm. Even a smartphone is thicker.

The ends are even thinner than the iPhone. But at the same time, you need to take into account that the new The iMac is convex at the back, so it's not the same thickness everywhere. It is impossible to even imagine how such a thin body of this shape could be developed. It is quite understandable that the developers resorted to many tricks. So, due to the shape of the case, the connector for the power cable had to be bent. Optical drive iMac no longer has (the presence of the Internet allows you to do just fine without it).

Using friction welding, the back and front of the iMac are securely attached to each other. What is noteworthy: directly in the metal lower part there are cutouts - they contain the speakers. The hole for the cable is made in the iMac stand. Most of the connectors are located on the back of its case:

– ports for USB 3 (4 pieces);

– for SDXC memory cards – slot;

– Gigabit Ethernet port;

– for headphones – 3.5 mm jack (branded Apple headsets are supported).

Currently, iMac manufacturers produce two types: with diagonals of 27 and 21.5 inches. For iMac 27 model″ In this generation, Apple manufacturers did not support VESA mounts - that is, hanging the device on the wall will no longer work. Plus the weight of the iMac 27″ only 9.5 kg, the same weight as the previous generation iMac 21.5″. Therefore, moving it from place to place will not be difficult. The new iMac 21.5 model″ – much lighter, weighing only 5.7 kg.

Let's look at the iMac 21.5 today″ – junior model. Although calling it “younger” is not entirely appropriate - these computers have completely different positioning. The version equipped with a 27-inch display is an excellent computer for the home living room; it is an excellent arrangement for a work area in a comfortable room. iMac 21.5 model″ More suitable for the office - this handy tool will last for many years. Although this is a matter of taste for each user.

The iMac is loved by many designers. And all thanks to the magnificence appearance and shapes where metal and glass are harmoniously combined. And, indeed, the iMac will appeal to many. After all, the device looks very beautiful in appearance and, thanks to its small dimensions, will perfectly complement any interior.

Display

If you look at the many parameters of the iMac display, you can be convinced of their perfection. The IPS matrix of the computer covered with glass has high quality. The LED lighting system is located directly under the glass. The entire screen area between the backlight system and the glass is laminated, so there is no gap. The absence of such a gap gives a simply amazing effect - it seems that the image is located directly in the room, and not on the device’s display. Therefore, many users usually change the picture on their desktop quite often in order to enjoy the quality of the picture and its colors.

Reference screen quality

A special protective layer on the screen significantly reduces glare. For the first time used for this coating innovative technology plasma spraying. It is similar to the technology used to coat the glass of aviation helmets and the lenses of super high-quality lenses. Thanks to modern developments, the protective layer has become almost weightless - just a few atoms, so the iMac glass not only does not impair color reproduction, but also reliably protects against reflections and reflections. The new iMac now has a 75% reduction in glare reflections.

iMac 21.5 resolution″ – 1080x1920 pixels, iMac 27″ – 1440x2560 pixels.

Inclusion

The iMac comes with a Magic Mouse and keyboard (wireless). To get started, you need to connect your iMac to the network, then turn on the mouse and keyboard - the computer will instantly recognize them. After this, a simple setup wizard - and the computer can be used. Work and relax at the same time.

What’s very convenient is that the Magic Trackpad is supported by iMac. This will please those users who are used to working with the touch pad of a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air laptop.

Is it possible to make a monitor out of an iMac?

Most laptop users are interested in using such a gorgeous display in previous iMac models.

Today this is quite possible - you just need to connect your laptop to your iMac using a Thunderbolt cable. Then press a certain key combination (Fn+CMD+F2). Thanks to this, the transition to Target Display Mode is carried out. And that’s it – the image from the laptop appears on the iMac. This function will undoubtedly be appreciated by all users of Apple devices (note that this function is only suitable for Apple devices and not for any others).

Sound

A number of Apple's portable devices have undergone changes in sound. These changes affected new iPads(3rd generation onwards), MacBook Pro with Retina display, new iMac. Now you don't need to connect an external sound system– built-in speakers provide clear, bassy, ​​bright sound.

Similar to others Apple devices, the iMac model has another characteristic feature - to improve quality, two microphones are used when transmitting speech (similar to FaceTime and others Skype programs). That is, in a quiet room you can speak almost in a whisper without straining, this is very convenient.

Another feature of video chatting with iMac is the presence of a FaceTime camera with HD video support. Thanks to this, the sound quality is much higher than that of previous iMac models. Moreover, you can make FaceTime calls from any iOS device or Apple computer. Don't forget that you can now send iMessage via SMS to your iPad or friends' phones from your iMac. Don't forget about the function in OS X, in the "Applications" folder of the iMac there is "Messages" - take advantage of their services.

Power

iMacs with different displays have several various possibilities. Consider the iMac 21.5″ . The model is presented in two modifications, with a processor:

– Intel Core i5, 2.7 GHz clock speed (acceleration up to 3.2 GHz Turbo Boost);

– Intel Core i 5, 2.9 GHz clock frequency (acceleration up to 3.6 GHz Turbo Boost).

Standard installed: 8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz RAM, 1 TB hard drive, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M or GT 640M processors.

The power of the iMac allows you to solve ordinary problems: calculations, games, video and photo processing, modeling. All functions are non-negotiable - they work perfectly, without freezes or brakes. Mac Store App Store offers new programs - game lovers will be especially delighted; new versions of “Civilization” and Call of Duty await them here: Black Ops and others specifically designed for OS X.

Two in one: new iMac and previous generation

For super advanced users, it makes sense to order a special iMac model, equipped with a fast processor, hybrid Fusion Drive and increased memory capacity up to 16 GB. This is the latest development from Apple; it combines a traditional hard drive and a solid-state SSD drive, the data between them is distributed in automatic mode. Rare data will be on the hard drive, and those that are used frequently will be on the SSD. That is why the cost of a hard drive is not much different from the cost of a Fusion Drive, but the performance of the latter is much higher than that of an SSD drive.

Noise

The noise level of the new iMac deserves special attention. Everyone is used to the fact that a laptop and system unit Makes decent sounds, especially when loading games. Many people are already accustomed to the crackling sound of the hard drive and the hum of the fan. Some users are trying to find ways to reduce such sounds. The iMac is fine with noise - even when running a large Call of Duty game, no sound is heard. In fact, the iMac can be called the quietest desktop computer.

Modern model

Apple's view of modern computer development is reflected in the iMac - the design of the model goes hand in hand with performance, new technologies are used, thanks to which every millimeter of the device is conquered. Today, iMac improves Fusion Drive, monitor, display, performance and sound.

iMac - a real computer of our time

Not everyone agrees with the decision regarding the iMac's minimum dimensions. Without this home or office computer could do without. But the change in iMac location does not cause any complaints.

The new iMac model embodies all the innovative developments that manufacturers have been pursuing for many years: ease of connection and configuration, low noise, the advantages of the display - it seems to go beyond its limits, creating an unusual picture.

But not only the above reasons will be the primary ones when choosing a new iMac - it is also reliable in operation. It will work without failures or complaints and will work for many years, delighting users with its capabilities.

Apple's legendary Macintosh turns 30 today.

Over the years, the popular computer has taken on different shapes and sizes, constantly improving both externally and internally. Created by the recognized genius Steve Jobs, Mac computers became one of the most iconic achievements of Apple and the technology world in general. Mashable traced the path of Mac “becoming” - from bulky “dinosaurs” to modern ultra-thin iMacs and MacBooks.

1. Lisa

In 1983, Apple presented its very first computer based on GUI— Apple Lisa, named after Steve Jobs' daughter. It took more than 3 years and about 50 million dollars to create. The price tag was appropriate - about $10,000, which was beyond the means of most buyers and therefore the project turned out to be a failure from a financial point of view. Even though Lisa is not technically a Mac, there is no doubt that it had a huge influence on the first Mac, which was introduced on January 24, 1984.

2. Macintosh XL

To compensate for the Lisa's modest success, in 1985 Apple redesigned the model, changed the name to Macintosh XL and lowered the price to $3,495.

3. Macintosh 128K
