Impembelelo ye-iMac

Impembelelo yoyilo

I-iMac yoqobo yayiyiPC yokuqala ukuthi "Bye-bye!" kubuchwepheshe besikolo esidala, kwaye yayiyiMac yokuqala ukuba nezibuko le-USB kwaye akukho floppy drive. Oku kuthetha ukuba abenzi behardware banokwenza iimveliso ezisebenza ngeeMacs kunye neePC. Ngaphambi koku, abasebenzisi beMac bekufuneka bakhangele phezulu nasezantsi kwihardware ethile ehambelanayo neeMacs zabo “zehlabathi elidala”, njenge. iibhola kunye neempuku ezine-interface ze-ADB, kunye nabashicileli kunye neemodem ezine-MiniDIN-8 ze-serial port. Kodwa nge-USB, abasebenzisi beMac banokufumana izandla zabo kuzo zonke iintlobo zezixhobo ezenzelwe iiPC zeWintel, ezifana:

• Hub
• Ba Scan
• Izixhobo zokugcina
• Iidrive flash drive
• Amagundane

Emva kwe-iMac, i-Apple yaqhubeka nokususa ujongano oludala lwe-peripheral kunye ne-floppy drives ukusuka kuwo wonke umgca wemveliso. I-iMac iphinde yaphefumlela i-Apple ukuba iqhubeke ijolise kumgca we-Power Macintosh ekupheleni kwemarike. Oku kukhokelele ekukhululweni kwe-iBook ngo-1999, eyayifana ne-iMac kodwa ikwimo yokubhala. I-Apple iphinde yaqala ukugxila ngakumbi kuyilo, oluvumela imveliso nganye ukuba ibe nesazisi sayo esikhethekileyo. Bathi “Hayi enkosi!” kwimibala e-beige eyayithandwa kwishishini lePC kwaye yaqala ukusebenzisa izinto ezifana ne-anodized aluminium, iglasi, kunye neeplastiki ezimhlophe, ezimnyama, kunye ne-polycarbonate ecacileyo.

Impembelelo yoShishino

Ukusetyenziswa kuka-Apple kweeplastiki eziguquguqukayo, ezinombala welekese zenze impembelelo enkulu kwishishini, zikhuthaza uyilo olufanayo kwezinye iimveliso zabathengi. Ukwaziswa kwe-iPod, i-iBook G3 (i-Dual USB), kunye ne-iMac G4 (zonke ezineplastiki emhlophe qhwa) nazo zaba nefuthe kwiimveliso zombane zabathengi bezinye iinkampani. Ukukhutshwa kombala we-Apple kukwabonise iintengiso ezimbini ezikhumbulekayo:

• 'I-Life Savers' ibonise ingoma ye-Rolling Stones, "She's a Rainbow"
• Inguqulelo emhlophe yayineCream's “White Room” njengendlela exhasa ngayo

Namhlanje, iiPC ezininzi ziluqonda ngakumbi uyilo kunanini na ngaphambili, ngoyilo lwemithunzi emininzi luyinto eqhelekileyo, kwaye ezinye iidesktops kunye neelaptops zifumaneka ngemibalabala, iipateni zokuhombisa. Ke, unokubulela i-iMac ngokwenza itekhnoloji ibonakale ilungile!

Ulwamkelo olubalulekileyo lwe-iMac
