The initial G4 model still had a 15-inch screen, but it was a lot lighter at 22.8lbs. The egg-shaped iMac and its many colors stuck around until January 2002 when the exclusively white iMac G4 was released. So despite some initial consumer complaints, the model was incredibly popular and the hardware changes ultimately became standard amongst computer manufacturers. The iMac G3 was incredibly easy to set up though something mentioned in its marketing frequently. Evidently, Apple has been making users buy adapters or new cable types for its computers for decades. The G3 also became the first computer to only offer USB ports for connecting devices to it. The drive had been present in Apple Macintosh computers since 1984. This computer saw some big changes to Mac hardware including the removal of the floppy disk drive. The iMac G3 came out to a bit of controversy. But it came in a wide variety of colors that really helped the G3 stand out and become iconic in the computer market at the time. This chassis held a 15-inch screen and was pretty heavy-around 34.5lbs. Released in 1998, the iMac G3 was the first of the iMac line and the only one to date to have a round, egg-shaped chassis.
