eMac (2005)

Released May 2005

A white all-in-one PowerPC G4 desktop with a 17-inch CRT, Radeon 9600 graphics and a choice of Combo or double-layer DVD-writing drives.

Specifications

Processor: PowerPC G4 7447A (1.42 GHz)
CPU cores: 1
Graphics: ATI Radeon 9600
Memory: 256 MB, 512 MB or 1 GB
Storage: 80 GB to 160 GB
CPU: Consumer Combo and SuperDrive versions have a 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4 with 512 KB full-speed L2 cache and no L3 cache. The separate education-only CD or no-optical-drive configurations use 1.25 GHz and Radeon 9200 hardware; their figures are not applied to this consumer record.
GPU: ATI Radeon 9600 on an AGP 4× bus. The retained Apple support table prints 63 MB DDR video memory; contemporary AppleInsider launch coverage reports 64 MB. The discrepancy is retained rather than silently changing the maker table.
Memory type: 184-pin PC2700 DDR333 SDRAM in two slots; Combo includes 256 MB and SuperDrive includes 512 MB, expandable to Apple's stated 1 GB maximum. The guide also allows PC3200 DIMMs, running at DDR333 speed without a performance benefit.
Storage type: Ultra ATA/100 7200 rpm hard drive, 80 GB with Combo drive or 160 GB with SuperDrive. Combo reads DVDs and writes CDs. SuperDrive supports 8× DVD±R writing, 4× DVD±RW writing and 2.4× double-layer DVD+R writing.

Screen size: 17″
Resolution: 1280 × 960
Panel: CRT
Display type: Flat 17-inch CRT with 16-inch viewable area. Apple's retained specification labels 1280 × 960 as native resolution; this is an analogue CRT supported mode rather than a fixed pixel matrix. A refresh figure is not published in this exact support sheet.

Ports: 3 × USB-A, Ethernet, headphone jack
Ethernet: 0.1 Gb/s
Wi-Fi: Optional AirPort Extreme 802.11g
Bluetooth: Optional Bluetooth 1.1
Back ports: Three USB 2.0 ports on the computer, plus two USB 1.0 ports on the supplied keyboard; two FireWire 400 ports; 10/100BASE-T Ethernet with Auto-MDIX; mini-VGA; audio line-in; side headphone output; optional-wireless hardware. The Combo/SuperDrive table lists a V.92 modem.
External displays: Mini-VGA RGB output supports display mirroring up to 1280 × 960; optional Apple Video Adaptor provides S-video or composite television output. Extended desktop is not supported.
Speakers: Built-in stereo speakers
Microphones: Built-in microphone at the upper left of the display
Keyboard and mouse: Apple Keyboard and Apple Mouse; the manufacturer's exact 2005 product image includes both.

Type: All-in-one
Weight: 22.7 kg
Width × depth × height: 406 × 433 × 406 mm
Operating system: macOS
Size and weight detail: Apple's metric specification gives 40.6 × 40.6 × 43.3 cm (height × width × depth) and 22.7 kg. These metric figures are retained; the inch values in the same table do not convert exactly.
Power supply: The user guide states that the eMac does not have a universal power supply. Check the voltage requirements printed inside the optical-drive door for the particular regional unit.
Colours: White
In the box: Computer, keyboard, mouse and AC cord; telephone cable where modem supplied. Launched with Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and Classic application support. May 2005 sale evidence comes from contemporary AppleInsider launch coverage, not the March printing date of the user guide.
