iMac PowerPC 750 (G3) 1999

Encased in a vibrant, "retro-futuristic" all-in-one chassis with a 15-inch "crystal clear" CRT display, the Apple iMac G3/266 (Fruit Colors) is powered by a 266 MHz PowerPC 750 (G3) processor. Its specifications include a 512k backside level 2 cache, 32 MB of RAM, a 6.0 GB EIDE hard drive, and an ATI Rage Pro Turbo graphics card with 6 MB of VRAM.

This model was available in a palette of five distinct colors: lime (lime green), strawberry (pinkish-red), blueberry (royal blue), grape (purple), and tangerine (orange-yellow).

Beyond the new color choices, the iMac G3/266 (Fruit Colors) was very similar to its predecessor, the iMac (Revision B). However, it came equipped with a larger 6.0 GB hard drive and omitted the "Mezzanine" internal expansion slot and IrDA functionality.

Following the success of the original Bondi Blue, this model, released in five vibrant "fruit colors," cemented the iMac's popularity. It was a groundbreaking product in that it positioned the computer as a tool for personal expression. While there were no major performance changes from the previous model, it included a larger hard drive, improving its practicality. On the other hand, the omission of the internal expansion slot was viewed critically by some power users. Nevertheless, its design appeal more than compensated for this, leading to immense commercial success.
