Originally released in 1997, the PowerMac is an interesting line of computers. These computers were being released roughly alongside the iMac G3s, which you may recognize as the colorful “jellybean” computers living in our lab. You would think PowerMac G3 would refer to a single computer, but the G3 editions were actually a whole line of computers; their cases originally shared the beige design seen in machines such as the Apple //c or the Macintosh 128k but starting in January 1999, when the Blue and White model was released, they were completely redesigned. You can check out apple-history.com’s entries for the original beige PowerMac G3, the Blue and White model, and the PowerMac G4 by clicking any of these links! The PowerMac G4 included multiple different versions, including the G4 Cube which, in our opinion, has a very fun design.
