What are the differences between the "iSight" iMac G5 models?
Please note that the iMac G5 "iSight" series was introduced on October 12, 2005 and discontinued January 10, 2006.
The Apple iMac G5 "iSight" models follow the design of their predecessors with the entire computer placed behind the flat-panel display in an integrated all-in-one enclosure.
The "iSight" systems, however, are "up to" half an inch thinner and 15% lighter than earlier iMac G5 models and use a faster architecture and superior graphics. As the name implies, both include an integrated iSight camera for easy video conferencing.
The major differences are summarized below in this handy chart:
