iMac best Mac ever according to MacFormat poll
Readers of Mac Format have voted the desktop iMac the best Mac of all time.
According to a poll held through the publication’s website, the 2004 “Where did the computer go?” design that houses everything in the screen case remains the epitome of Apple computing.
“A lot of people predicted that the anglepoise G4 iMac would take the winner’s crown,” says Graham Barlow, editor-in-chief of MacFormat.
“But that fact that the aluminium iMac was our readers’ favourite proves that Mac owners aren’t stuck in the past.”
The poll on the magazine’s website put 25 of Cupertino’s finest to the public vote, from 1985’s Macintosh 128k - the Mac that began a dynasty – right up to the present day.
2009’s now-iconic 13” MacBook Pro laptop took second place, while the 1998 iMac G3 took third.
The stylish anglepoise iMac G4 and super-light MacBook Air make up the remainder of the top five.
