History

The iMac (Summer 2000) was the most affordable iMac up to that point. Essentially a reissue of the iMac (Slot Loading) at a lower price (and without AirPort slot), the iMac (Summer 2000) was offered at $799 USD. It was available in Indigo, shipped with 64 MB of RAM, a 56k modem, and included the new Pro Mouse and Pro Keyboard from Apple. The iMac DV (Summer 2000) was essentially a reissued version of the original iMac DV, with a CD-ROM drive in place of the DVD-ROM. The iMac DV was shipped with 64 MB of RAM, a 56 kbps modem, Apple's Pro Mouse, and was available in Indigo or Ruby, all for $999 USD. The iMac DV+ was based on the success of the iMac DV. The processor speed had been increased to 450 MHz, and the hard drive had been doubled to 20 GB, while the price decreased. The iMac DV+ was supplied with 64 MB of RAM, a 56 kbps modem, Apple's Pro Mouse, and was available in Indigo, Ruby, or Sage, all for $1299 USD. The iMac DV SE (Summer 2000) was based on the extraordinary success of the iMac DV SE. The processor speed had been increased to 500 MHz, the hard drive had been more than doubled to 30 GB, and a new color option (White) was added.
