FastMac - Performance Upgrades

iMac Flat Panel
Announced in January 2002, the iMac (Flat Panel) represented the first major design change to the three year old iMac design. Its processor also got upgraded to a G4.
The Flat Panel iMac, which sported a white finish, featured a stainless steel neck which connected the flat panel LCD display to the dome base. The neck allowed the display to be pivoted and tilted in myriad of ways.
