Ka hopena o ka iMac

Hoʻolālā Hoʻolālā

ʻO ka iMac mua ka PC mua e ʻōlelo "Bye-bye!" i ka ʻenehana kula kahiko, a ʻo ia ka Mac mua loa i loaʻa i kahi awa USB a ʻaʻohe kaʻa floppy. ʻO ia ka mea hiki i nā mea hana lako ke hana i nā huahana i hana pū me nā Mac a me nā PC. Ma mua o kēia, pono nā mea hoʻohana Mac e ʻimi kiʻekiʻe a haʻahaʻa no nā lako kikoʻī i kūpono me kā lākou "kahiko-honua" Macs, e like me nā kīʻahi a me nā ʻiole me nā pilina ADB, a me nā mea paʻi a me nā modem me nā port serial MiniDIN-8. Akā me ka USB, hiki i nā mea hoʻohana Mac ke kau i ko lākou mau lima ma nā ʻano mea like ʻole i hana ʻia no nā PC Wintel, e like me:

• Nā pāpū
• Nānā
• Hāmeʻa mālama
• ʻO nā leka uila USB
• ʻiole

Ma hope o ka iMac, hoʻomau ʻo Apple i ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā kikowaena peripheral kahiko a me nā floppy drive mai ke koena o kā lākou laina huahana. Ua hoʻoikaika pū ka iMac iā Apple e hoʻomau i ka huli ʻana i ka laina Power Macintosh ma ke kiʻekiʻe o ka mākeke. Ua alakaʻi kēia i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o ka iBook i ka makahiki 1999, ua like ia me kahi iMac akā ma ke ʻano puke. Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Apple e kālele hou aku i ka hoʻolālā, kahi i ʻae ai i kēlā me kēia o kā lākou huahana e loaʻa i ko lākou ʻike kūʻokoʻa. 'Ōlelo lākou "ʻAʻole mahalo!" i nā kala beige i kaulana i ka ʻoihana PC a hoʻomaka i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea like me ka alumini anodized, ke aniani, a me ke keʻokeʻo, ʻeleʻele, a me nā plastic polycarbonate maʻemaʻe.

Hoʻoikaika ʻoihana

ʻO ka hoʻohana ʻana o Apple i nā plastic translucent, candy-colored plastics i mea nui i ka ʻoihana, hoʻoulu i nā hoʻolālā like i nā huahana mea kūʻai aku. ʻO ka hoʻolauna ʻana o ka iPod, iBook G3 (Dual USB), a me iMac G4 (nā mea a pau me ka hau keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo) ua loaʻa kekahi mana i nā huahana uila mea kūʻai aku o nā hui. Ua hōʻike pū ʻia ka ʻōwili kala a Apple i ʻelua mau hoʻolaha hoʻomanaʻo:

• Ua hōʻike ʻo 'Life Savers' i ka mele Rolling Stones, "He Ānuenue ʻo ia"
• Ua loaʻa i ka mana keʻokeʻo ʻo Cream's "White Room" ma ke ala hope

I kēia mau lā, ʻoi aku ka noʻonoʻo ʻana o nā PC he nui i ka hoʻolālā ma mua o ka wā ma mua, me nā hoʻolālā multi-shaded ka mea maʻamau, a ʻo kekahi mau desktop a me nā kamepiula i loaʻa i nā hiʻohiʻona hoʻonaninani. No laila, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaikaʻi i ka iMac no ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka ʻenehana!

Loaʻa koʻikoʻi o iMac

Hoʻokipa maikaʻi

• Ua hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia ʻo iMac e ka mea kākau ʻenehana ʻo Walt Mossberg ma ke ʻano he "Gold Standard of desktop computing"
• Ua wehewehe ʻo Forbes magazine i ka laina ʻulaʻula o nā kamepiula iMac ma ke ʻano he "holomua hoʻololi i ka ʻoihana"

• Ua hoʻohewa ʻia ka hoʻolālā hoʻohui ʻia o ka iMac no ka nele o ka hoʻonui a me ka hoʻonui
• ʻO ka hanauna iMac o kēia manawa aia nā Intel 5th generation i5 a me i7 processors, akā ʻaʻole maʻalahi ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka paʻi 2010 o ka iMac
• Ua ʻike ʻia ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o ka iMac a me ka Mac Pro ma hope o ka wā G4, me ka Power Mac G5 (me kahi ʻokoʻa pōkole hoʻokahi) a me nā hiʻohiʻona Mac Pro i kūʻai ʻia ma ka US $1999–2499 $, ʻoiai ke kumu hoʻohālike. ʻO nā Power Macs G4s a ma mua he US$1299–1799

Imac vs Macbook Pro

I ka hiki ʻana i ka iMac vs Macbook Pro, aia kekahi mau ʻokoʻa nui. No ka hoʻomaka ʻana, ʻo ka iMac kahi kamepiula desktop, aʻo ka Macbook Pro he pona. He koho maikaʻi ka iMac inā makemake ʻoe i kahi mīkini ikaika ʻaʻole e lawe i kahi nui. He mea maikaʻi nō hoʻi ia no ka poʻe ʻaʻole pono ke kelepona. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, maikaʻi ka Macbook Pro no ka poʻe pono e lawe i kā lākou kamepiula me lākou. He kūpono hoʻi ia no ka poʻe makemake nui i ka mana akā ʻaʻole nui ka wahi. No laila, inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i kahi mīkini ikaika hiki iā ʻoe ke lawe pū me ʻoe, ʻo ka Macbook Pro ke ala e hele ai. Akā inā ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e paʻa a makemake i kahi mīkini ikaika ʻaʻole e lawe i kahi nui, ʻo ka iMac ke koho kūpono loa.

Imac vs Mac Mini

Hoʻopili ka Mac Mini a me iMac i kahi punch ikaika me ka M1 processor, akā ʻo nā ʻokoʻa ma waena o lākou e iho i lalo i ke kumukūʻai a me nā hiʻohiʻona. He nui nā awa o ka Mac Mini, akā hele mai ka 24-inch iMac me kahi mea nui make, ʻōnaehana kani, a me ka Magic Keyboard, Mouse, a me Trackpad. Eia kekahi, ʻo ka ʻaoʻao ultra-thin o ka iMac hiki ke kūpono i nā wahi āpau. No laila, inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i kahi pākaukau ikaika ʻaʻole e lawe i kahi ākea nui, ʻo ka iMac ke ala e hele ai. Akā inā makemake ʻoe i nā awa hou aʻe a noʻonoʻo ʻole i ka nui nui, ʻo ka Mac Mini ke koho kūpono loa.

Panina

I ka hopena, ʻo ka iMac he kamepiula hōʻailona a kipi i puni i nā makahiki he mau makahiki. Mai kona hoʻomaka haʻahaʻa i ka hopena o nā makahiki 90 a hiki i kona mau lā hou, ua lilo ka iMac i mea nui o ka Apple kaiaola. He kūpono ia no nā poʻe loea hana, nā mea hoʻohana mana, a me nā mea hoʻohana i kēlā me kēia lā. No laila, inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i kahi kamepiula paʻa lima ikaika a hilinaʻi hoʻi, ʻo ka iMac ke ala e hele ai. E hoʻomanaʻo wale, mai lilo i 'Mac-hater' - aia ka iMac e noho!

Aloha ʻoe, ʻo wau ʻo Kim, he makuahine a he mea hoihoi hoʻi me ka ʻike i ka hana ʻana i ka media a me ka hoʻomohala pūnaewele. Nui koʻu makemake i ke kaha kiʻi a me ka hoʻoulu ʻana, a ke luʻu mua nei au i ka honua hoʻomaha. Me kaʻu blog, ke kaʻana nei au i kaʻu mau ʻike me ʻoukou.
