iMac Core 2 Duo 1.83 17-Inches (IG)

The iMac Core 2 Duo 1.83 IG with 17-inches screen is almost identical to the iMac Core Duo / 1.83 (IG) in everything except a newer and faster processor, a larger hard drive and graphics. Meant for educational purposes only, this iMac got much slower Intel GMA 950 integrated graphics but a new Core 2 Duo processor with a faster bus and larger cache and a hard drive doubled in capacity (180GB vs. 60GB). This iMacs line-up is known as Intel Macs. The iMac Core 2 Duo / 1.83 17-Inch (IG) is the all-in-one desktop computer in a polycarbonate casing behind the 17-inches screen, mounted on an aluminum stand with an adjusting hinge. The Core 2 Duo 1.83 17-inch features a 1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor (T7200), with two independent processor “cores” on a single silicon chip, 512 MB of RAM, an 80 GB Serial ATA hard drive (7200 RPM), a slot-loading DVD-ROM/CD-RW “Combo” drive, an Intel GMA950 graphics processor with 64 MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared with main memory, a built-in iSight webcam, a microphone and stereo speakers, as well as 2 Firewire “400” and 3 USB 2.0 ports. It also has built-in AirPort Extreme (802.11g) and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, Gigabit Ethernet and mini-DVI capable of supporting a second display. The cooling system is CPU controlled and the in-built speakers are mounted beneath the 17-inches screen for the sound to bounce off the desk or other surface. The speakers’ grills also work as the vent ones.

Miscellanea

• This lower-end and very short-lived iMac was meant for educational purposes only. So it got a week integrated graphics and the hard drive of smaller capacity. The low price made up for hardware cutbacks. This desktop was available not for persons working in education but for educational institutions.
