The 2002 all-in-one Apple iMacG4 was just modded and brought back to life with an M1 chip and all-new hardware. Spoiler alert: It actually works.
Do you remember the 2002 iMac G4? We don’t blame you if you don’t — it’s been 20 years since Apple released that iconic all-in-one desktop.
The iMac G4 is ancient by now, but it hasn’t lost its charm. With its 15-inch screen surrounded by thick bezels that had bezels of their own, as well as a large, circular stand with an optical drive, it looks nothing like its younger siblings and doesn’t resemble the 24-inch iMac at all. Needless to say, the design is just one thing that has changed over the years — the hardware found within the iMac G4, once impressive, now belongs in a museum.
If the Apple ecosystem was its own universe, the iMac G4 and the modern-day Apple M1 silicon wouldn’t even exist within the same galaxy, but a brave modder decided to change that. Connor55 opened up the dome and changed out hardware until the iMac became a solid computer, although it still retains the small screen. He documented the lengthy journey, which was not without some difficulties, on the MacRumors forum.
