Apple Computer launches eMac

1 May 2002

Apple Computer has introduced a mid-range computer designed for the education market. It is based on the iMac with a 700MHz G4 processor, but has a 17-inch flat CRT monitor and will be priced lower. Although aimed at the education market, it is also ideal for professional designers who would like a large viewing area.

This is Apple’s most affordable G4-based system. Many design changes make it ideal for the classroom situation:

It has an all-in-one design. All monitor and computer cords go into one unit and it has integrated speakers.
The body is rugged, made of fire-retardant polycarbonate plastic, the same material used to manufacture bulletproof glass.
Fingerprints easily wipe clean from the glass CRT display and from the body of the computer.
It fits easily on desks. It's body is slightly smaller than the iMac (8mm), although it has a built in 17-inch monitor.
It comes with a choice of two optical drives — either CD-ROM or a Combo drive (DVD-ROM and CD-RW).
Network and Internet connection is through a standard 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port.

The eMac comes with both Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X, Apple’s most powerful yet easy-to-use operating system.
