The Apple iMac G4/800 17-Inch (Flat Panel) “Snowball” came to market in July 2002. The internal components were housed in a 10.6-inch half sphere white case with a chrome stainless steal need that supported either a 15” or 17”. This version replaced the iMac G3 and built upon the design of the G4 Cube. Unlike earlier iMac models that were convection-cooled the iMac “Snowball” series was cooled by a quiet internal fan. This model features an 800 MHz PowerPC (G4), 256 MB of RAM (PC133 SDRAM), an 80.0 GB Ultra ATA/66 hard drive (5400 RPM), a tray-loading "SuperDrive", and NVIDIA GeForce4 MX graphics with 32 MB of DDR SDRAM (AGP 2X support). The iMac G4 was replaced by the iMac G5 on August 31, 2004.

To reduce the computer's size and weight, Apple omitted certain features long standard on its laptops. It is Apple's first notebook since the PowerBook 2400c without a built-in removable media drive[4]. Users may purchase an external USB SuperDrive, or use bundled Remote Disc software to access the optical drive of another computer[5].
It lacks a security slot[6] and an Ethernet port[7], although a USB-to-Ethernet adapter may be purchased separately[8]. Some have complained about the omission of these features[attribution needed]. In addition, the MacBook Air offers only a single USB port. The MacBook Air lacks Cardbus and ExpressCard slots, both standard features in older and newer laptops, respectively [9].
The MacBook Air is Apple's first laptop computer to be offered with an optional solid-state hard drive[10]. ArsTechnica found "moderate" performance improvements of the 64GB solid-state drive over the standard 80GB hard drive in tests [11].
The CPU is an Intel Core 2 Duo chip, which was specially redesigned for the MacBook Air, reducing the physical chip packaging's size by 60 percent [12]. While the processor is unique, it has been criticized for being under-powered and last generation technology.[13][14]
The laptop has the magnetic latch system of the MacBook and an aluminum casing like the MacBook Pro. The oversized trackpad offers iPhone-like Multi-Touch gestures, an improvement over previous MacBook trackpads. Among the gestures are pinching, swiping, and rotating [15]
The MacBook Air is pre-loaded with Mac OS X v10.5 and iLife '08.
[edit] Remote Disc
The MacBook Air can wirelessly access the optical drive of another Mac or Windows PC that has the Remote Disc program installed, allowing the installation of applications from a CD or DVD [16][17]. It can also reinstall the system software from the included installation DVD [18]. Remote Disc supports netbooting, so the MacBook Air can boot from its installation DVD in another computer's drive [19].

MacBook Air is nearly as thin as your index finger. Practically every detail that could be streamlined has been. Yet it still has a 13.3-inch widescreen LED display, full-size keyboard, and large multi-touch trackpad. It’s incomparably portable without the usual ultraportable screen and keyboard compromises.
The incredible thinness of MacBook Air is the result of numerous size- and weight-shaving innovations. From a slimmer hard drive to strategically hidden I/O ports to a lower-profile battery, everything has been considered and reconsidered with thinness in mind.
MacBook Air is designed and engineered to take full advantage of the wireless world. A world in which 802.11n Wi-Fi is now so fast and so available, people are truly living untethered — buying and renting movies online, downloading software, and sharing and storing files on the web.

The 2006 iMac Intel was the first iMac to use a Intel Core Duo CPU. Introduced along with the new iMac was the Intel-based MacBook Pro, both were signs of big changes to come as Apple transitioned from PowerPC to Intel processors. New to this iMac were not only the processor but also the integration of Apples iSight camera, built-in stereo speakers, microphone and the inclusion of a remote control. Shipping with first universal binary version of Mac OS X 10.4.4, 1.8 or 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo Processor, 512 MB RAM, DVD+R DL SuperDrive, ATI Radeon X1600 and built-in AirPort Extreme.

Not really a TRUE mod, but I did take off all the plastic, "stole" the handles from a Power Mac G4 Quicksilver, and added a few more things. I like it because it gives it a more G5-ish look/industrial-looking machine. Thats a Saleen S7 on top and that green Newton is an eMate 300. Vintage ROCKS!
Modifications:
Overclocked CPU to 500 MHz (running fine)
Added Pioneer DVD-RW Drive/SuperDrive
Removed plastic case
Swapped handles with Quicksilver PM G4
512 MB RAM (originally 128 MB)
Running Mac OS X v.10.4 "Tiger" Server
Added extra PC fans (fairly quiet, though)
Added 2 10/100 Ethernet PCI cards
Added 6-port USB 2.0 PCI card

Resetting G4 PMU? Check out Mac Users Guide for more how-to information. The PowerMac G4 (Mirrored Drive Doors) features dual 1.0 GHz PowerPC (G4) processors each with an AltiVec velocity engine, 256k cache, and 1 MB of DDR SRAM backside cache. It shipped configured with 256 MB of RAM upgradeable to 2 GB, 2X DVD-R/CD-RW "SuperDrive", 4X AGP ATI Radeon 9000 Pro graphics card with 64 MB of DDR SDRAM and an available AirPort (802.11b). One of the last versions shipping with Mac OS X 10.4.11 "Tiger" capable of booting into Mac OS 9 and using Mac OS 9 applications within the Mac OS X "Classic" environment.
This is my 2002 PowerBook G4 Titanium (Last) with a 15.2" display.
The specifications of the computer itself are the following: 1 GHz G4, 1 GB DDR, 120 GB HDD, 64 MB ATi Mobility Radeon 9000. It's been upgraded with an AirPort, a USB 2.0 PC-card and a bluetooth PC-card to be used in the PC-card slot. Geekbench result: 627.
Notable features at time of release for this model include a widescreen display, a SuperDrive and a DVI port. Other things worth mentioning are that it has a removable keyboard for easy access, a hinged port cover and supports quartz extreme graphics. The body is made of painted titanium.
It runs OS X Leopard. It's currently used only occasionally. The design and form factor is way ahead of its time.
I decided to give my Powermac G5 2 x 2.5 Ghz (June 2004) a spring clean and a much-needed round of upgrades via open-heart surgery:
Upgrade RAM from 4gb to 8gb.
Upgrade Sony 8x Superdrive to Samsung 22x.
Upgrade hard drives from twin 160gb (Maxtor and Seagate) to 500gb and 1000gb WD Caviar Black.
Upgrade graphics from ATI Radeon 9600 XT with 128 mb to Nvidia Geforce 6800 Ultra DDL OEM 256mb.
Upgrade keyboard from Apple Aluminium wireless Mk 2 to Logitech DiNovo Mac Edition.
Add 5 USB 2.0 ports (1 internal) via PCI.
See associated pix in this set.
Does all this make a difference? You bet it does!
Hopefully this will keep it going for another 3 years until I can afford a Mac Pro :O)
