Overview
What if you could command an entire world of music, photos, movies and DVDs -- all from your sofa? Now you can share the good life with friends and family on a 17-inch new iMac G5 featuring Front Row software and Apple Remote. Slimmer than ever, the gravity-defying enclosure also houses built-in iSight, SuperDrive, wireless and the easy-to-use software that brings it all together. (Mighty Mouse not sold separately.)
Welcome to the Front Row
You've got the best seat in the house. The full-screen Front Row media experience -- with its intuitive menus, large text and brilliant graphics -- lets you browse the music, photos and videos on your iMac as easily as you browse music on your iPod. And the new Apple Remote lets you do your browsing from anywhere in the room. So gather your friends and dazzle them with a slideshow of your vacation pics, a home movie or a DVD. iMac G5 was born to entertain.
The iTunes Connection
With iTunes, you're never more than a click away from the world's most popular source of music, audiobooks and podcasts. Now the digital revolution strikes again -- you can also purchase your favorite music videos and selected TV shows. Download those episodes of Lost or Desperate Housewives that you missed. Or sync your videos with the new iPod and watch them anywhere.
Video Chatting Made Easy
There's an iSight camera built into every new iMac, so you can start a video chat (or join one) at a moment's notice. There's nothing to buy, nothing to attach, no cords to… read more fumble with, no software to install or configure. Simply start up iChat AV, click your buddy's video icon and you're ready to chat with sight and sound -- with up to three friends at once. Proper attire suggested.
The Beast Within
Behind its breathtaking 17-inch widescreen display, iMac G5 displays some monstrous power -- with a 1.9GHz G5 processor, a sizzling new PCI-Express ATI Radeon X600 Pro graphics processor with 128MB of dedicated video memory and a new high-bandwidth system architecture. These technologies, coupled with Mac OS X Tiger (the world's most advanced operating system), simply make iMac G5 a joy to drive. Whether you're exercising your creativity, surfing the web, playing compute-intensive games or just staying in touch with friends.
It's a Wonderful iLife
iMac G5 has the power -- and the brains -- to be the center of your digital universe. It comes with iLife '05: a suite of easy-to-use applications that make the spectacular part of your everyday life. Enhance, organize and share your photos via iPhoto. Make an epic starring your kid in iMovie. Turn your photo and movie creations into professional DVDs with iDVD. Create original music in GarageBand, even if you can't carry a tune.
Ready to Roar
Like any modern computer should, iMac G5 comes ready with software preinstalled to use your digital devices right away. Just plug them in. With a plentiful passel of ports -- USB 2.0, FireWire 400, composite and S-video outputs, audio in and out -- you can connect just about any device, from cameras and camcorders to hard drives, stereos and the Mighty Mouse included with every iMac G5. With the forward-thinking Scroll Wheel, you can move around your digital life with 360 degrees of freedom. And with built-in Gigabit Ethernet, you're all set for wired networking.
Cut the Cords
Better yet, eliminate the desktop clutter. iMac G5 comes with a pre-installed AirPort Extreme Card, so you can hop onto the Internet wirelessly up to 150 feet from an AirPort Extreme Base Station. Or you can add an AirPort Express with AirTunes to stream music to your stereo and send documents to your printer. iMac G5 also includes an internal Bluetooth 2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) for the latest wireless devices, like the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse. You can even sync your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone so your numbers are always up to date. Impress your friends, confound your enemies -- wireless only looks like magic.

Front Row
Mac G5 will change the way you look at computers. Literally. Enjoy -- and share -- your music, movies and photos from any seat in the house on a gorgeous, liquid crystal display. Intuitive Apple software and hardware make impossible science fiction dreams an effortless reality.
Remote Possibilities -- The new Apple Remote makes it easy to navigate through all the digital goodies you've collected and created on your iMac G5. Apple designers simplified the average remote from 60 buttons you'll never use to just the six buttons you really need. So you can navigate quickly and easily through the Front Row interface to enjoy your music, video, photos and DVDs exactly as you wish. Play. Pause. Skip. Rewind. Crank up the volume. Whatever your pleasure, wherever you sit.
Music -- Control the mood of the room with instant access to iTunes music and playlists.
Photos -- View slideshows from your iPhoto library, complete with transitions and music.
Videos -- Watch home movies, music videos and more. Hit play and pass the popcorn.
DVD -- Do the math. iMac G5 + remote control + DVD = the most popular dorm room.
iSight
Emoticons are so last century. Say it face to face with the iSight camera seamlessly integrated into every iMac. Perfectly positioned to put your best face forward, you can snap a photo or set up a video chat with friends around the world with just a click.
Made You Look -- Atop the newly slimmed iMac G5 is a high-quality iSight camera so neatly integrated, you'll hardly notice it's there. That is, until you launch iChat AV or the new Photo Booth application. The moment you do so, a small green light tells you it's time to smile. No need to worry about installing or configuring. (But you might want to dress up.)
Say Hi -- Video chat with your friends and family over the Internet. Simply launch iChat AV to turn on iSight, then click the video icon of a buddy and you're set to communicate sci-fi style.
It's that easy.
Say Cheese -- Taking pictures of yourself has never been more fun. Add a special image effect -- Sepia, Black & White, Glow, Comic Book, X-Ray, Colored Pencil, Thermal Camera, Spotlight, Bulge, Dent, Twirl, Squeeze, Mirror, Light Tunnel, Stretch, Fish Eye. Click. See the screen flash white. (How's that for cool.) And there you have it -- a high-quality photo you can save as your iChat buddy picture, email to your friends or put in your iPhoto library.
It's that fun.
(1) 384Kbps Internet connection (up/down) required to initiate four-way video chat; 100Kbps Internet connection required to participate.
Design
The new iMac G5 is more streamlined than even its earlier incarnation -- thinner around its edges and noticeably lighter. Though it neatly conceals an extraordinary range of features that enhance your digital life, the new iMac G5 is one computer you won't want to conceal in your home. It's simply stunning -- even when you're not using it.
A Place for Everything -- The iSight camera is built right into iMac's display, ready to spring into action when you want to snap a picture or video chat with friends around around the world. The simple six-button Apple Remote gives you control over your music, movies and photos from anywhere in the room -- and it stows away neatly (and magnetically) on the side of your iMac when not on. An array of rear ports make it easy to connect your iPod or just about any other digital device. Though it's hard to believe, iMac's slim shape contains everything from the power supply (no unsightly power brick to deal with) to a pair of high-quality speakers for beautiful stereo sound. The battle over desktop clutter is over -- and you won.
Designed for Performance -- iMac G5 may be svelte, but it's no lightweight when it comes to performance. With a 1.9GHz G5 processor, 633MHz frontside bus, 512MB (install up 2.5GB) DDR2 SDRAM running at 533MHz and a PCI-E ATI Radeon X600 Pro or XT graphics card with 128MB graphics memory, there's more than enough horsepower to satisfy your digital life's every demand. Enjoy your music, record a song, edit a movie, enhance photos, videoconference with friends, play power-hungry games -- all with uncompromising performance.
Power in Hand -- Now that Mighty Mouse is standard with every model, you'll feel iMac power right down to your fingertips. You get the programmability of a four-button mouse in an unexpectedly simple design -- along with the power of the revolutionary Scroll Ball. Scroll up, scroll down, even scroll diagonally within a document without lifting a finger. See all your open windows with a single squeeze. Or assign other functions to buttons as you wish. Your fingertips have never had it so good.
Graphics
iMac G5's widescreen display is stunning. But even more stunning are the graphics capabilities behind it: a powerhouse PCI- Express-based ATI Radeon X600 Pro graphics processor with 128MB of DDR memory. Couple that with Mac OS X Tiger, the world's most advanced -- and most graphics-savvy -- operating system, and you have a system that delivers astounding 2D and 3D graphics performance and an immersive, photorealistic gaming experience.
Get Cinematic Perspective -- The 17-inch widescreen iMac delivers a resolution of 1440 by 900 pixels on its flat-panel LCD screen, the same screen area as a 19-inch CRT monitor. Its 16:10 wide aspect ratio is perfect for watching DVD movies -- on the built-in DVD Player -- in their original format.
Spectacular 3D Effects -- The iMac ships combat-ready with advanced graphics processing capability, thanks to the cutting-edge PCI Express ATI Radeon X600 Pro or X600 XT graphics processor with 128MB of dedicated video memory. Kicking your games and 3D graphics into high gear with its Quad-pipe architecture and high precision cinematic shaders, the ATI cards take full advantage of the graphics capabilities in Mac OS X Tiger for ultra-fast processing of complex per-pixel imaging operations -- and a standout gaming experience.
Flights of Fancy -- iMac G5 likes to show off its advanced graphics power, so it includes two mesmerizing games. Nanosaur 2 puts you atop a flying pterodactyl loaded with hi-tech weaponry, from which you can blast enemy dinos, save eggs or pit your skills against another dino pilot in two-player racing, battle or capture-the-flag competitions. Marble Blast Gold lets you race marbles through a three-dimensional world of powerful fans, whirling tornados, land mines, pinball-style bumpers, narrow catwalks, moving pistons and dizzying chasms.
Software
Right out of the box, iMac G5 has all the software you need to take your digital life to new heights. Including iLife '05 (for music, photos, movies and making DVDs) and Front Row, which lets you -- or a whole roomful of people -- enjoy it all.
The World's Most Entertaining Computer -- Stay where you are. With Front Row, an easy-to-use, full-screen interface you control with the included Apple Remote, the new iMac G5 gives you an all-access pass to your music, TV shows, movies and photos -- from the any seat in the room. iMac G5 also includes a brand new application called Photo Booth that works with the built-in iSight camera to make taking pictures more fun than ever.
Innovative and Reliable -- The core of iMac's power is the world's most advanced operating system, Mac OS X Tiger. It keeps your favorite apps running without a hitch. And it enables next-generation features like Spotlight (to help you find your files in an instant), Dashboard (for easy access to utility widgets), iChat AV (for video-conferencing using the built-in iSight camera) and a myriad others. With Mac OS X Tiger, you also have the comfort of knowing that your iMac sets an example of reliability and security for the rest of the world to follow.
The Digital Life Starts Here -- iMac G5 comes with iLife '05, a suite of amazing applications that work together to supercharge your digital life. Download music videos from the iTunes Music Store and make a video playlist for your next house party. Make videos for your iPod with iMovie. Design your own iPhoto coffee-table book using the photos from your parents' 25th wedding anniversary. Make a movie of your daughter's first steps, graduation, wedding with iMovie HD. Send it out to the family on a professional-quality DVD you made with iDVD. Record a song with GarageBand for that special someone in your life, then burn it to an audio CD as a gift. Thanks to iLife, the possibilities are endless.
Package Deal -- iMac G5 also includes Quicken 2006 for Mac to help you stay on top of your finances, the expansive 2006 World Book encyclopedia to aid in your fact-finding quests, AppleWorks, Microsoft Office 2004 Test Drive for Mac, Nanosaur 2, Marble Blast Gold and much more.
