iMac

Where it comes from

First use appears in 1998, from i- (“internet”) + Mac (“Macintosh”).

noun iMacs

One of a line of all-in-one Macintosh computers made by Apple Inc. When you deal with iPhones and iPads (and the iCloud, iMacs, iTVs, iPods, and all those other iThingies), you're living in a walled garden. Apple controls it from the beginning to end.
