Which Apple Did You Pick?

 

ALL-IN-ONE TYPE:

“All-in-one” in the Apple sense means that the display is integrated in the computer case. The keyboard always remains detachable. That includes all Compact Macintoshes, the Macintosh LC 500 series and the iMac series, among others.

DESKTOP TYPE:

“Desktop” is used in the sense of a horizontal case capable of being placed under the monitor. The Macintosh II series were the first Macintoshes to use such a case, but true desktop cases are not in Apple’s lineup today. However, this section also includes modern cases that are too small to be placed under a normal display.

TOWER TYPE:

A “tower” is a vertical case intended for placement beside the display or under a desk. This section contains both full sized towers and so-called “minitowers”. Towers were first used for the high-end Macintosh Quadra models, but all later high-end Macintoshes (such as the Power Mac series) also used the tower design.

PORTABLE TYPE:

“Portable” in this case means computers that are able to run on internal batteries - modern computers like the Mac mini are arguably more portable than the “luggable” Macintosh Portable, but have no integrated batteries. All modern portable Macintoshes use the notebook design, which the PowerBook series helped to establish.

RACKMOUNT TYPE:

“Rackmount” computers use cases that are designed to be screwed into a standard 19-inch rack, a form factor that is mostly used for servers. The Xserve series is the only Macintosh ever specifically designed in this way, with all of the computer models having a height of only one rack unit.

MULTIMEDIA TYPE:

“Multimedia” computers blur the boundries between computers and other devices, often entertainment led units.
